Really happy with the service. They turned up on time and just got stuck in, despite the heatwave and some serious brambles to contend with. They left everything clean and tidy with a walk round.

Moorland Tree Care provided an excellent service from start to finish. They were easy to get hold of and came round for a quote the same afternoon, and sorted the job in a quick turnaround. They were professional, friendly and took care whilst removing the tree which was in a tight spot, to keep limbs within our boundaries and protect neighbouring fences. They also took care to stack the wood and clear the area afterwards. Would highly recommend. Thankyou.

Huge thanks to Moorland Tree Care for removing our tree stumps so quickly. They were friendly and really helpful in finding a time that worked for us. We have quite tricky access, but they brought a compact stump grinder and had no issues with the narrow gates. Really happy with the communication and the time they took to protect our garden and the neighbouring property. Great service from start to finish

Having had a few quotes and a variable experience with people getting back to me, Adam responded immediately, booked me in on a cancellation the following day and ground the stump well below ground level. Would definitely use again and would recommend to anyone.

We recently used this company for a tree removal in Paignton and were really impressed. The tree was in a built-up area with limited space, but they worked carefully the whole time. Safety was clearly a priority and they took great care around nearby properties and gardens. Everything was left tidy afterwards too. Highly recommend them if you need tree work done locally

Moorland Tree Care worked on our trees in Moretonhampstead and did a great job. They pruned our apple and fig trees and carefully removed a dual leader from our silver birch that was leaning towards the neighbours. They even left us the good wood for logs and took away all the brash, which was really appreciated. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with, and everything was left tidy afterwards. We’re really happy with the work and would recommend them.

Moorland tree care came and expertly removed some dead and dangerous 80ft larch trees overhanging a track. Stacked timber and chipped the waste for us. Brilliant job and gave some excellent advice for future management. Brilliant service, a very knowledgeable man and super friendly. Highly recommend them and they will be returning to do more.

What to expect

Our Garden Clearance Process

Our straightforward process ensures quality results with clear communication from quote to completion.

Why Professional Garden Clearance Matters

Maximised Garden Potential

Cost-Effective Results

Devon’s gardens often include trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders or fall within Conservation Areas. Our team works with local planning authorities to ensure all clearance complies with regulations. For guidance on local requirements, consult Devon County Council’s tree protection guidance. Detailed information on legal obligations is available in the government’s Tree Preservation Order guidance.

Garden Clearance FAQs

We handle all green waste – vegetation, branches, leaves, and organic matter – which we process sustainably into logs, woodchip, or compost. General waste like old garden furniture, pots, or household rubbish isn’t included in our standard service, but we can arrange removal for an additional charge. We never handle hazardous materials like asbestos, which requires specialist licensed contractors.

Most garden clearance doesn’t require planning permission, but if your property is in a Conservation Area (like parts of Topsham or central Exeter) or contains trees with Tree Preservation Orders, restriction may apply. We’re familiar with Devon County Council’s requirements and can advise on any restrictions before starting work.

Winter is actually ideal for garden clearance in Devon – the ground is accessible, plants are dormant, and we can work around Devon’s wet weather. Spring clearance gets booked up quickly as everyone wants work done before the growing season, so winter jobs often get faster scheduling and can be more cost-effective.

Prices vary based on access, vegetation density, and disposal requirements, but standard garden clearance typically starts from £300-500 for average Exeter gardens. Properties in areas like Topsham or rural parts of East Devon may have different pricing due to access or disposal considerations, which we’ll discuss during our free site visit.

Our selective approach preserves valuable plants and minimises ground disturbance. We use boards to protect lawns when necessary and carefully hand-clear around established plants worth keeping. After Devon’s wet winters, we’re especially careful about ground protection to prevent compaction damage.

Just ensure we can access your garden – move cars from driveways if needed and clear any pathways. We’ll handle everything else including protective measures for your property. If you have specific plants you want preserved, just point them out when we arrive or ask for our advice – Devon gardens often have valuable specimens hiding among the overgrowth.

We work in most weather conditions that Devon throws at us, but heavy rain or storms may require rescheduling for safety. Our equipment handles wet conditions well, and we use protective measures to prevent ground damage. We’ll always call ahead if weather looks problematic and arrange alternative dates that works for you.
