Garden clearance in London
Garden clearance removes overgrowth, rubbish and unwanted material so a neglected plot is ready to use or redesign. OJM Landscaping clears overgrown gardens across London, keeps the site tidy as we go, and can move straight on to turfing, paving or planting once the space is cleared.

Questions about this service
Can you clear a very overgrown garden?
Yes. Overgrown and neglected plots are what garden clearance is for. We visit first to see how much there is, agree what stays, and then quote in writing. The aim is to leave clear, tidy ground that is ready for whatever you want to do next.
What happens to the garden waste?
Waste has to be removed legally. Anyone who transports waste for others should be a registered waste carrier, and you can ask a contractor, us included, how your waste will be taken away. The gov.uk waste carrier page explains the rules that apply to businesses.
Can you build the new garden after clearing?
Yes. Clearance is often the first stage of a larger job, and we can go straight on to design, paving, turfing, fencing or planting. Doing it as one project avoids gaps between stages and means the same team leaves the finished garden tidy.
