Sacks of cuttings lined up in a cleared back garden

Garden clearance in Fulham.

Garden clearance in Fulham for the overgrown plot behind a terrace, where nothing gets out except through the hallway. We cut it back, bag it at the back of the house and carry every sack through to the van.

GARDEN CLEARANCE IN FULHAM

SW6 gardens have one way out: through your house.

Walk round the Peterborough Estate or Munster Village and you’ll struggle to find a side gate. These are terraces, so the back garden is closed in by neighbours and the only route to the street runs past your sofa. That one fact shapes the whole job. Nobody can back a trailer up to it, and a skip out the front does little for ivy at the far end of the plot.

So we work from the back. We cut first and bag where we stand, then carry the sacks through over dust sheets, and the van only comes into it at the very end. If you’ve got pale carpets, a tight turn by the stairs or a new kitchen floor, mention it with your photos and we’ll plan the route around them.

Narrow plots with high walls go wild faster than people expect. Bramble, ivy and self-seeded sycamore get going at the far end, which is the part nobody can reach once it starts, and two summers later the back third of the garden has gone.

Gardens get longer as you head south towards Hurlingham and the river, and that changes the sums. A longer plot means more trips through a bigger house, so we ask for one photo from the back door looking down the garden and one of the hallway.

Flats are their own thing. In a conversion near Parsons Green the garden may belong to the ground floor, or be shared between two flats, so check your lease before anyone cuts anything. Around Imperial Wharf there are few private gardens at all, and the job is more likely to be a terrace of dead planters that have to go down in a lift.

WHAT WE DO IN FULHAM

What an SW6 garden clearance can involve.

Tell us which of these you’re looking at. Plenty of gardens are three or four at once.

  • Overgrown back gardens

    Bramble, ivy and long grass cut back to the boundary, and whatever was hiding underneath lifted out.

  • Green waste removal

    If you or your gardener have done the cutting, we collect the sacks or the pile and take it all the same day.

  • Ivy on party walls

    Cut back from the brick and carried away. Speak to your neighbour first if it’s rooted on their side.

  • Self-seeded saplings

    Young sycamore and ash pulled out before they start lifting the paving.

  • Overgrown hedges

    Laurel, privet and box cut back, with every trimming bagged and taken through the house.

  • The shed at the end

    Pots, tools and broken chairs emptied out, so you can see what you’ve got.

  • Patios and small yards

    Mossy pots, rotten planters and broken slabs cleared from the paved bit by the back door.

  • Seasonal gardening

    A spring and autumn tidy, or something more regular, so it never gets this far again.

YOUR OPTIONS IN FULHAM

The council sack, the tip or us: how to choose.

Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s service is good value if your garden is under control. It wasn’t built for one that isn’t.

The council’s subscription costs £90 a year and gets you two 90 litre reusable sacks, collected weekly. If you keep on top of a small garden, that’s the cheapest answer and we’d tell you to use it. Full sacks sit inside your property line on collection day, never on the footpath.

The catch is what can’t go in. Large branches, logs, soil, stones, plant pots, plastic bags and Japanese knotweed are all off the list, and two sacks disappear quickly once you start on a bramble patch. You can drive garden waste to the Smugglers Way tip in Wandsworth for free, but you need to book a slot first, and you’ll be carrying it through your own hallway to fill the car.

We make sense when the volume is the problem, or when nobody at home can do the cutting and carrying. Garden waste collections start at £80 plus VAT, and a full caged van starts at £350 plus VAT. If you think you might have Japanese knotweed, stop and tell us before anything gets cut. Cutting spreads it, and it can’t go in with ordinary green waste.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Good to know in Fulham.

  1. Measure the hallThe narrowest point on the way out is usually the hall or the turn by the stairs. It decides how big each load can be.
  2. Match daysCraven Cottage sits right by Bishop’s Park and Stamford Bridge is off the Fulham Road. If you live near either, avoid a home game, because the van needs to stop close to your door.
  3. Permit baysMost SW6 streets are permit holders only. A visitor permit or a suspended bay keeps the carry short, and the carry is where the time goes.
  4. Old fencesIvy is often the only thing holding a tired fence up. Check who owns it, and warn your neighbour before the growth comes off.
  5. Nesting seasonIvy and thick hedges can hold nests through spring and summer, and the law protects an active one. Have a look before you book a big cut.

FAQS

Questions about garden clearance in Fulham.

A smaller pile of cuttings comes in at our £80 minimum. An overgrown plot that takes up a caged van starts at £350. Cutting back on site is priced from your photos, so send one from the back door and one of the hallway. All our prices are plus VAT.

Yes, and in Fulham that’s nearly every terrace. It’s sacked up at the far end and walked through over dust sheets, so nothing gets dragged across your floors.

Yes. If you or your gardener have already done the work, we’ll collect the sacks or the pile from the back of the garden and take it away.

We don’t hire skips, and on a terrace with no front drive we think a skip is the wrong tool. One on the road needs a council permit, and you’d still have to carry everything through the house to fill it.

Yes. Tell us when you send photos and we’ll price it all as one job.

Yes. Give us the date and book as early as you can. Leave a few days spare in case the weather turns, because buyers and inventory clerks both look at the garden.

It goes for composting wherever possible, not landfill. Anything else we find in there, such as metal or broken pots, gets sorted separately as we load.

Yes. Book a one-off tidy or a repeat visit, and the cuttings leave with us each time. A small walled plot may only need a visit each spring and autumn.

Whatever needs clearing, recycling or moving — we're ready to get it sorted.
