GARDEN CLEARANCE IN GREENFORD

Long gardens grow back quickly.

The interwar houses around Greenford and Perivale came with proper gardens, and that’s one of the reasons people moved here. Down the far end there’s often a shed, a compost heap that stopped being a compost heap, and fifteen years of bramble. Near Horsenden Hill and along the canal, the wild green stuff is right there behind the fence and it only needs a little encouragement to come through.

If the garden has been left, the job is rarely one thing. There’s ivy on the fence, sycamore seedlings taller than you, a lawn that turned into a meadow and an old rotary washing line somewhere underneath. We start at the house end and work back, cutting and bagging as we go, so you can see the ground again by the time we leave.

Side access matters. A semi often has a side gate wide enough to get through with sacks, and that makes for a quick day. A mid-terrace at the Northolt end might not, in which case everything comes through the house and we’ll protect the floor.

Some people want it done once before a sale or a new tenancy. Others want someone back in spring and autumn so it doesn’t get bad again. We do both, and we’re comfortable quoting from photos, but we’re coming over from SW9, so a few days’ notice is sensible at the busy end of the year.

WHAT WE DO IN GREENFORD

Garden work we do in UB6.

A single overgrown border, or the whole plot back to bare ground.

  • Long back gardens

    Cut back from the patio to the far fence, and cleared in one go if it fits.

  • Brambles and ivy

    Pulled from fences and sheds, with the roots dealt with where we can reach them.

  • Self-seeded saplings

    Young sycamore and ash taken out before they turn into a bigger problem.

  • Hedges along the side

    Privet and laurel cut back so you can get down the side path again.

  • Sheds at the bottom

    Contents cleared, along with whatever’s been piled against the outside.

  • Old patios and paths

    Moss, weeds and pots lifted, so the slabs can be seen and cleaned.

  • Rental turnarounds

    For a landlord who needs the garden fit to show before new tenants move in.

  • Spring and autumn visits

    A regular tidy-up with everything taken away after each visit.

YOUR OPTIONS IN GREENFORD

Council sacks, the tip, or a one-off clear.

For a tidy garden, Ealing’s subscription is good value. An overgrown one is a different thing.

If your garden is under control, pay for the council service. It’s £75 for 23 collections in 2026/27, or £50 with a concession or for a second subscription, and you get a 240 litre bin or sacks. It’s fortnightly, and it stops from December until February, so a big autumn cut can sit around for a while. It takes grass, leaves, hedge trimmings and twigs, but not soil, stones, branches or logs over 15cm across.

Greenford is lucky here. Garden waste goes into Greenford Road reuse and recycling centre for free, and you may live five minutes from it. The rules are strict, though: book your slot, bring ID and proof of address, and no plastic bags. That means tipping out loose cuttings by hand. If you have a big car, a sturdy tarp and a free Monday, it’s a perfectly sensible way to do a few loads.

We come in when a garden has gone past that: more cuttings than a bin takes in a season, thick growth that needs cutting first, or mixed rubbish hidden in it. Garden waste collections start at £80 and a whole caged van at £350, plus VAT. If there’s cutting back as well, we’ll price that from photos.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Good to know in Greenford.

  1. Nesting birdsDense hedges are best cut outside nesting season, roughly March to August. If we find an active nest, we’ll leave that section alone.
  2. Check boundaries firstGardens backing onto the canal, the hill or railway land may have fences that aren’t yours. Tell us where the boundary is.
  3. Japanese knotweedIf you see tall bamboo-like canes, send a photo before anyone cuts them. It needs specialist treatment, and we won’t remove it.
  4. Clay soilMuch of this ground is heavy clay, so after wet weather a lawn takes a beating from wheelbarrows. Book a dry spell if the lawn matters.
  5. The side gateMeasure it, or send a photo. If the van is on the drive and the gate opens fully, we can move faster.
