Overgrown Garden Clearance

 

Overgrown garden clearance and full restorations.

Tackling thick dense weeds, brambles, tall grass, overgrown obstructive shrubs.
For times when things have got out of hand, or simply to much to handle!
Fresh start – Full garden restoration – Garden tidying.

Typically garden clearances and restorations are a one time visit or a one-off job usually taking half a day to a full day sometimes more.

I restore gardens that have gotten out of control, too much for some gardeners and garden enthusiasts to manage themselves, due to the heavy load and specialised tools and skill required.

Gardens that have often not been touched or neglected for any reason, many try but soon discover without the right tools for the job its going to be what seems an impossible task and will take forever.

From inherited jungle, or the garden just gets out of hand it is all fixable and you will be surprised just how fast it can be restored.

Types and instances of overgrown gardens

  • Long neglected garden, often never been touched for a year or more.
  • Inherited jungle, so dense you cannot see a garden at all, or what lies undernieth!
  • Thick dense and tough weeds, brambles, Tall grass, thistles, nettles mixed and tangled between small trees and thick shrubs.

These overgrown thickets can often reveal a blank canvas, when once uncovered we can see what used to be a well looked after garden, with lawn, good sized and shaped borders, paths and patio areas. You can expect the lawn to be restored to a low cut Hight, with trimmed edges and contouring around any saved trees and shrubs to shape the lawn.

Borders will be strimmed down to the soil and weed free, while at the same time saving any perennial plants and shrubs, at this point it starts to look like a garden again.

Strimming any weed infested areas

  • Beds and borders.
  • Flags, Paths and patios.
  • Driveways and surrounding property.

Garden Restoration and Transformation.
When a garden is overgrown, the lawn will be long, often thick and dense and full of weeds.
once cut right back there will be no green grass left in most cases.

In some severe cases, I will have to strimm the grass down to the bare soil, but rest assured in both cases the grass will come back and make a full recovery, this is the fresh start phase.

Same with the beds and borders, will be cut back to the soil also, and those weeds will return in most cases, but after the initial restoration you can see a garden again and it will look nice neat and tidy.

All the heavy weed infested paths, patio, stone features, driveway and surrounding property where any weeds have taken root, will all be cleared and finally you can see exactly what the garden looks like in its neat and tidy restoration.

Overgrown Garden tidying.
Not all gardens require this level of cleareance, some just need a heavier garden clearance when it has just gotten too much, taller thick dense lawns, overgrown infested weed beds and borders.

Small trees and shrubs that have merged into one another, a shrubbery that now resembles a thicket. Shrubs that have lost their shape and are now too tall and unsightly.

Obstructive shrubs blocking light in the garden or windows, entraces and walkways can all be restored, reshaped, individualised, pruned and cut back.

Restoring the Original Beauty.
Overgrowth will be carefully cleared, exposing the contours of your existing design. Lawns, even if slightly damaged, will be revitalised for a lush appearance keeping the green when possible, and cut to a suitable height for recovery and regular mowing. 

Hedges and shrubs will be expertly reshaped using specialised pruning techniques when things have gone wild. 

 

Communication & Collaboration.
Throughout the process, I prioritise communication and transparency.

I keep clients updated every step of the way, whether at home or through text and images if they’re unavailable. This ensures that any problems can be addressed promptly and that the project progresses to their liking and saticfaction.
