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.

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.
