Gardens on the valley sides around Abertillery rarely stay tidy for long. Steep ground, mountain weather and the pull of woodland just above the houses mean brambles, ivy and self-sown saplings soon take over a plot. We clear overgrown gardens, old sheds, fences and rubbish, and we take everything away when we leave.
Whether you have a small terraced back garden that has not been touched for years or a longer plot climbing the hill, we will look at it properly first. Landlords, house sellers and homeowners all call us, and we keep the job simple and clear.
Many homes in Abertillery are in long terraced streets, where the garden is behind the house and the only way through can be a narrow passage or even the house itself. We plan around that from the first visit. Material is cut, bagged or bundled and carried out by hand when a vehicle cannot get close, which is slower but entirely workable, and it means your neighbours are not disturbed more than they need to be.
Slopes bring their own problems in Abertillery. Retaining edges may have slumped, old steps can be hidden under growth, and loose rubbish tends to roll downhill into corners where it is hard to reach. We work carefully, clearing from the top down, and we point out anything unsafe that we find along the way, so you know about it before any new landscaping, fencing or patio work begins.
Being so close to wooded slopes, gardens here collect leaf fall, seedlings and creeping growth from the neighbouring land and the trees above. Ivy climbs sheds and fences, bramble arches over lawns, and sycamore and birch seedlings come up in every crack. We cut all this back and, where it makes sense, dig it out at the base rather than just trimming the top, which gives you a longer break before it all returns.
We also clear what people leave behind: collapsed greenhouses, rotten fence panels, broken furniture and builders' leftovers. Everything is loaded up and removed, so there is no pile left on the grass or tipped over the back wall. If a tree is part of the trouble in your Abertillery garden, we can talk about pruning or felling it as a separate job.
After clearance you can choose what happens next, whether that is turf, artificial grass, a small patio or fencing. We tidy the ground so you can see what you are working with, and you can decide in your own time. We also cover Brynithel, Cwmtillery, Blaina and Six Bells, so if you are nearby, tell us where you are and what needs to go.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Abertillery.

Garden ClearanceA selection of clearance work in Newport, including an overgrown front garden cut back and bagged, and a bramble-choked plot with bins.

The cost of garden clearance depends on how much there is to remove, how easily it can be reached and what has to be taken away.
Read the guide →A gravel garden can cut mowing and weeding, but only if the ground is cleared and prepared properly first, and the planning matters more than the stones.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.
Read the guide →Yes. We regularly deal with gardens that can only be reached through the house or a narrow passage. Waste is carried out by hand in manageable loads and put onto our vehicle. It takes more care, but it can be done.
Yes. Sheds, greenhouses, rotten fence panels and similar items can be taken down and removed along with the green waste. Let us know what is in the garden when you call, and we will plan the job with it all in mind.
We work with the slope, clearing from the top and keeping a close eye on loose ground. If we see crumbling walls, hidden drops or anything we feel needs separate attention, we will tell you plainly rather than carry on regardless.
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will come back to you, or call 07766 919630 if it is urgent.
