GARDEN CLEARANCE IN EALING

Ealing gardens are long, and they grow back fast.

For a borough this close to central London, Ealing has big gardens. The houses around Pitshanger Lane, Hanger Hill and Ealing Common often sit on deep plots, with fruit trees at the far end and a compost heap someone gave up on. Once one of those goes wild for a couple of summers, it’s beyond a Saturday with the shears.

Brambles and ivy take most of the work. They grow over fences, under sheds and through whatever was left at the back, so the first job is finding out what’s under there. We cut back, pull out and clear down to the ground, and any old fencing, broken pots and buried rubbish come out with it.

Ealing’s winter gap is worth planning around. The council’s fortnightly green bin stops in December and doesn’t start again until February, which is the season many people finally cut back hedges and clear leaves. If you’re doing an end-of-year tidy, you’ll have a pile with nowhere to go for two months. We take it all on the day.

Getting the waste out is usually the slow part. Semis often have a side path, but a mid-terrace in Northfields or Hanwell means carrying every bag through the house. Each bag gets filled at the far end and walked through, so warn us about pale carpets.

Green waste goes for composting wherever possible, and regular gardening visits are available if you’d rather not let it get this far again.

YOUR OPTIONS IN EALING

Green bin, tip or a clearance?

Ealing’s green bin suits a kept garden. A wild one needs something bigger.

Ealing Council’s garden waste subscription costs £75 for 23 fortnightly collections in 2026/27, or £50 for concessions, and you can choose a 240-litre bin or sacks. If your garden is in decent shape, that’s the cheapest way to handle cuttings and we’d tell you to get it. It pauses over winter from December to February, and it won’t take soil, stones, branches or logs over 15cm across.

You can also take cuttings to the Greenford Road tip for free, with a booked slot, ID and proof of address. Soil and logs aren’t accepted there either, and plastic bags have to come back with you. For a car boot of trimmings, that’s a fair trip. For a whole garden it’s a lot of trips.

We make sense when there’s too much for a bin, when branches and fence panels are mixed in, or when you’d rather not do the cutting at all. Garden waste collections start at £80 plus VAT and a whole cage starts at £350 plus VAT. Clearances that need cutting back are priced from photos.

Working in Ealing
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Good to know in Ealing.

  1. Conservation areasBrentham and Hanger Hill are conservation areas, and Ealing Council needs six weeks’ notice before work on most trees in them. Ordinary hedge cutting isn’t affected, but ask the council if you’re not sure.
  2. Nesting birdsHedges are best cut outside the spring and summer nesting season. If we find an active nest, we leave that section alone.
  3. Side accessMeasure the side path if you have one. A clear route saves time and keeps your hallway clean.
  4. Tell the neighboursIf a shared fence is coming down, have a word first. Old boundaries in Ealing have a habit of being argued over.
  5. Check what’s buriedOld plots hide bricks and paving under the ivy. Tell us if you know of any, as it affects the load.
