Garden Clearance in Newport
Garden clearance
A straightforward Newport garden clearance: borders cut back, lawns strimmed down, weeds and rubbish cleared and the plot left ready to mow, plant or let.
A lot of the Newport gardens we clear have changed hands, or are about to. A tenant has moved out and left a trampoline, a mound of bin bags and a lawn knee-high in dock and nettle. A parent has moved into care and the garden has not been touched for three summers. A house is going on the market next month and the agent has asked for the back to be sorted. The brief is nearly always the same: get it clear, get it tidy and get it done without fuss.
Tony and the team carry out garden clearance right across Newport, from the Victorian terraces near the centre to the big estates in Bettws, Malpas and Rogerstone and the older gardens of Caerleon. Green waste goes with us and quotes are free. See our Newport landscaping page for the rest of what we do in the city, or message us a few photos to get started.
How our six kinds of clearance usually come up around the city.

On the damper ground near the Usk, brambles, willowherb and self-seeded willow can move in fast once a Newport garden is left, and we dig out the roots so it does not all come straight back.
We collect and take away cuttings, clippings and leaves after a big pruning or hedge day, which is handy on estates where the green bin fills in minutes.
Newport sheds and garages tend to collect years of paint tins, old tools and furniture; we clear them, sort what you want kept and take down any shed past repair.
For family homes in Newport being sold or passed on, we clear the garden and outbuildings at your pace and put aside anything personal or worth keeping.
We clear overgrown plots, the grounds of blocks of flats and small commercial sites in and around Newport, leaving them open for building or landscaping.
Newport has a lot of rented homes, and the garden is often the part of a changeover that gets left to last. By then the grass is long, there is rubbish behind the shed and the next tenant moves in on Monday. We can work around a void period, collect keys from an agent, and send you photos of the finished garden if you are not local.
The aim is a garden a new tenant can realistically keep on top of. That might mean cutting a sprawling border back hard, lifting a rotten raised bed or clearing a corner so the lawn can be mown right to the fence. Our Newport guide on garden clearance for Newport landlords between tenants goes into this in more detail, and clearing a garden before selling or letting a house covers sales as well.
Much of lower Newport sits on heavy, wet ground shaped by the River Usk. Barrowing load after load over a sodden lawn in January can turn it into a rutted mess that takes months to recover. In wetter spells we lay boards along our route, keep loads lighter and, where the job allows, leave the ground-level work until it has dried out a bit.
A clearance is also a good time to see why a garden stays wet. Once the growth is gone you can spot where water collects and whether a blocked gully or a flattened lawn is to blame. If the next step is new paving, patio drainage in Newport is worth a read, and our page on turf laying in Newport covers getting a new lawn onto clay.
Clearances usually come with a deadline attached. This is how we keep them simple.
We plan the clearance around tenancy changeovers, sale dates and key handovers, and tell you honestly how long it will take.
You know at the quote how green waste, rubbish and rubble will each be dealt with, and where it is going.
On wet Newport clay we protect lawns and routes, so the clearance does not leave a new problem behind.

Caerleon is famous for its Roman remains, and some of the ground in and around the village is protected for that reason. Clearing surface growth is not usually a concern, but if a job involves digging out large stumps, lifting old foundations or breaking new ground, check with Newport City Council first. We would always rather you ask than find out afterwards.
Gardens here are often older and more mature than on the estates, with established hedges, fruit trees and outbuildings. We cut back rather than remove where a plant is worth keeping, and for anything big, tree surgery in Newport explains how we deal with mature trees.
Green waste from a Newport clearance leaves with us as part of the job. Old furniture, rubble, timber and general rubbish each need their own route, and we tell you at the quote how each will be handled. Some things, such as paint, chemicals, gas bottles and old sheeting that may contain asbestos, should never be mixed in with garden waste, and our guide on what can and cannot go in a garden clearance lists the usual ones.
One word of warning. If rubbish from your home is fly-tipped, the householder can be held responsible, even if someone else was paid to take it. Whoever you use, check they are a registered waste carrier, and read shed and outbuilding clearance if a garage full of old stock is part of the job.

Yes. We can collect keys from you or your agent, agree the job by phone and photos, and send pictures of the finished garden when we are done.
We take away green waste as part of the job and can deal with general garden rubbish too. We explain at the quote how anything unusual will be handled, and anything hazardous is pointed out so it can be dealt with separately.
Often yes, because the growth has died back and it is easier to see what is there. On very wet ground we protect the lawn and may leave some groundwork until it dries.
