Asked by Helena on 14th Jul 2020Best Answer
"It really depends on the following number of things
1/ What is aproximate size of your garden in feet or meters
Most gardeners will want to see the garden before giving a price, here is what determines the price i give a customer
1 size, 2 how over grown is the garden and the amount of waste it will generate as it has a cost implication to me,
3/ Are there any trees or shrubs to be removed , meaning extra equipment may be needed and extra waste generated
4/ are there beds and shrubs there as you then cant just cut eberything down with a petrol hedge trimmer care will need to be taken and that involves extra time and to you extra cost
5 do you want us to do anything with the garden when we have cleared it
6 i will send a written quote do you confirm by email you accept the quotation ive given you"
"Hello,
The price is arround £300.
Better to see the job ,before quote for right price.
Thank you."
"Hi Helena,
Do you know the total area? so garden and tree section
Once I know total size ill be able to have an idea of cost
I'm actually in the process of a clearance at the moment and as soon as I am done I would be happy to help you out
Kind Regards
James"
"It would depend on where you are, how big the trees are that need to come out and the amount of waste to come out.
If you add a clear photo I could give you a rough price guide.
Thanks Mike."
"Hi,
If you are in our local area of Hastings / Bexhill.
We would charge by the hour of £20 for one operative but this doesn't include taking any of the waste away.
If you wanted a fix price then it would be best for us to attend to give you a price."
"Maybe cheaper to hire a skip in this difficult time as prices have increased on rubbish removal"

Answered on 14th Aug 2020 - Member since Aug 2020 - report"The cost of just cutting back and clearing sections of a garden that size would be around £500-£700, if you’re looking to remove trees completely and bushes then you would be looking at £1000 +"
