What changes the price for garden clearance
- Volume of green waste. Most of the price is getting rid of what comes out. Tip and transfer station fees are charged by weight or load, so a garden that fills two van loads costs far more than one.
- How overgrown it is. Long grass and nettles strim down quickly. Brambles, ivy on fences and self-seeded saplings have to be cut out and the roots dug, which is where the hours go.
- What else is mixed in. Soil, rubble, old paving and broken furniture are not green waste. They are charged differently at the tip, and some sites will not take them in the same load.
- Access. No side gate means every bag comes through the house. A long carry to the van on a terraced street adds real time.
What is usually included
- Cutting back, strimming and pulling out growth
- Bagging and loading the waste
- Disposal at a licensed site, with a waste transfer note
And what is usually not
- Tree felling or work near power lines
- Rubble, soil or hardcore, unless quoted
- Japanese knotweed, which is controlled waste and needs a specialist
- Turfing, planting or landscaping after
The one thing that saves the most money
Check the waste carrier registration on the public register before anything is loaded, and keep the waste transfer note. Under the householder duty of care you can be fined if your garden waste is fly-tipped, even though you paid someone to take it.

What makes garden clearance more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
