Spring Garden Clearance: Tips for a Fresh Start

Spring is the perfect time to reclaim your garden. After months of winter neglect, even the most loved gardens can look tired and overgrown. A thorough spring clearance sets the foundation for a beautiful outdoor space throughout the warmer months.

Assess Your Garden

Walk around your garden and make a plan. What needs cutting back? What needs removing entirely? Are there broken pots, old furniture, or accumulated rubbish to clear? Making a list helps you prioritise and estimate the scope of the job.

Start with the Big Stuff

Remove any large items first — broken furniture, rotting sheds, old fencing, and fallen branches. This opens up space and makes smaller tasks easier. For heavy or bulky items, a professional garden clearance service can save hours of hard work.

Tackle Overgrowth

Cut back hedges and shrubs that have grown out of control. Prune dead wood from trees and bushes. Clear out weeds from beds and borders. Don't forget to check for nesting birds before cutting hedges — it's illegal to disturb them during nesting season (March to August).

Deal with Garden Waste

Garden waste adds up quickly. Options include: council green waste bins (limited space), trips to the tip (time-consuming), or professional garden clearance. We collect all garden waste and green waste, disposing of it responsibly at composting facilities.

Common Spring Garden Tasks

Beyond clearance, spring is the time to: aerate your lawn, apply fertilizer, repair bare patches in grass, clean and treat decking, power wash patios, and check fences and boundaries. A clean garden is a happy garden!
