Garden clearance
A general clear-up is the most common job on Pontypridd rentals: cut the grass, trim the borders, lift the weeds from the paving and take away whatever the last occupants left outside.


Pontypridd has more rented houses than most valley towns, helped by the university campus down the road at Treforest. That brings a particular kind of garden clearance: the back garden at the end of a tenancy, with a sofa, a broken barbecue and a summer’s worth of growth, that needs to be ready for the next tenant or a sale. Add the steep hillside terraces the town is known for, and the job is as much about carrying as cutting.
Tony and the team provide garden clearance across Pontypridd for landlords, letting agents, sellers and homeowners. Green waste goes away with us, and quotes and advice are free. Our Pontypridd landscaping page covers the other garden work we do in the town, and you can send us the details to get a price.
How each of our six clearance jobs usually looks in a Pontypridd house or garden.
A general clear-up is the most common job on Pontypridd rentals: cut the grass, trim the borders, lift the weeds from the paving and take away whatever the last occupants left outside.


Some Pontypridd gardens on the hillside have been left for years, with brambles over the steps and saplings rooted in the walls; we clear these gradually and uncover the structure as we go.


After a hedge or tree has been cut back, we bag and remove the green waste so a Pontypridd household is not left with a heap that will not fit in the bin.


Sheds and outhouses behind Pontypridd terraces often end up as storage for things nobody owns any more; we empty them and take down any that are past repair.


Selling or handing on a Pontypridd house is easier with a cleared garden and outbuildings; we work with families and agents, and keep anything personal aside.


We clear overgrown plots and the grounds of flats and small commercial premises around Pontypridd, ready for survey, repair or new landscaping.



The gap between one tenancy and the next is short, and the garden is often the last thing on the checklist. We can usually work to a set date, clear what has been left behind, cut everything back and leave the garden in a state a new tenant can keep on top of. Photos before and after are useful for your records and we are happy to take them.
If you are a landlord with property in Pontypridd, our guide on garden clearance for Pontypridd houses is written with you in mind. For ideas on making a rental garden easier to look after once it is cleared, see garden ideas for Pontypridd student lets and rentals. The general advice on clearing a garden before selling or letting a house also applies.

End-of-tenancy gardens in Pontypridd tend to hold more than grass and weeds. Old mattresses, bikes, gas bottles from a barbecue, paint tins and electrical items all turn up. Several of these need to go by a separate route and some should not be mixed with garden waste at all. We list what we find at the quote and explain how each will be handled.
As the person responsible for the property, you also have a duty to make sure waste goes to a registered carrier. Our article on what can and cannot go in a garden clearance covers the common items, and garden waste: where it goes explains why it matters if it is fly-tipped.
We are used to both rental turnarounds and steep hillside gardens.
For lets and sales we plan the clearance around the date you need, and tell you straight if it is tight.
Furniture, gas bottles and paint are identified at the quote, not discovered on the day.
Carrying waste down stepped gardens is routine for us, and we plan it before we start.
Our ratings on Google and Checkatrade, and the comments on our reviews page, show how customers found us.

Much of Pontypridd is built on the slopes above where the Taff and the Rhondda meet, and many back gardens rise steeply from the house. That means waste is bagged on each level and carried down, or through the house if there is no lane behind. We agree the route first and protect floors where we have to pass through.
Once a steep Pontypridd garden is clear, the levels are much easier to judge. If the steps are loose or a wall is bulging, our brickwork in Pontypridd page explains the options, and a sloping plot can often be made usable with garden decking in Pontypridd.

Yes. Many landlords and agents arrange key collection and let us get on with it. We agree the scope first, including anything that should stay, and send photos when the work is done.
We can deal with most of it, but some items, such as gas bottles, paint, chemicals and certain electricals, need separate handling. We will tell you at the quote what can go with us and what needs another route.
It depends on how overgrown it is, how much has been left behind and how steep the garden is. Most rental gardens are a short job once access is sorted, and we will give you a realistic idea when we quote.
Often, yes. Plenty of tenancies end in early summer, when birds are still nesting in hedges and brambles. We check before cutting, and if we find an active nest we work around it and come back for that patch once the birds have gone.
The size of the garden, the amount and kind of waste, how thick the growth is and how far everything has to be carried. Steps and a route through the house add time. Ask for a free quote with photos to get a clear answer.
