Maesteg's terraced streets and sloping back gardens sit under wooded valley sides, and keeping them in order is a real chore. When a garden has been left, brambles, ivy and tall weeds cover everything. We clear them, remove old sheds, fences and rubbish, and take the whole lot away so you can see your garden again.
We work for homeowners, landlords and people selling a property in the Llynfi valley. If you have a plot that feels beyond you, tell us what is there, and we will talk it through before suggesting how to go about it.
Most gardens in Maesteg slope, and many sit behind a terrace with only a narrow path to reach them. That shapes how we work. We cut from the top downwards so that nothing falls onto cleared ground, and we carry waste out in manageable loads rather than trying to drag it across the steepest parts of the garden, where it is easy to slip or to damage the ground you are keeping.
On a slope, old steps, low walls and retaining edges are easily lost under growth. As we clear, they reappear, and we tell you what condition they are in. If part of the bank has slumped or a wall looks doubtful, you will want to know before you lay a patio or build a new fence, because those things need solid ground beneath them, and we would rather be straight about it.
With wooded slopes above the town, gardens in Maesteg collect seedlings, leaves and creeping growth all year. Sycamore and birch seedlings take hold in cracks, ivy spreads across fences and the lower boundaries, and bramble arches over everything, including the paths you need to reach the washing line. We remove it at the base rather than just topping it, which gives you a longer break before it returns.
We also clear whatever has been dumped or left behind, from rotten sheds and tired greenhouses to damaged fence panels, old furniture and bags of rubbish pushed into corners. Everything is loaded and taken away, so there are no piles at the bottom of the garden for you to deal with later, and no need to arrange a skip or trips to the tip yourself.
Once it is cleared, a garden has options again. You can lay turf or artificial grass, build a small seating area or just keep it simple and low-maintenance, and you can do it knowing exactly what the ground is like beneath. We also cover Caerau, Nantyffyllon, Pontycymmer and Llangynwyd, so if you are in the wider valley around Maesteg, tell us the address and what needs to go.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Maesteg.
Garden ClearanceWork in progress clearing a long-neglected Cardiff back garden, with a brushcutter cutting down tall grass and weeds across the lawn.

Garden ClearanceGarden clearance in Neath covering a gravel side passage and a narrow brick-walled yard, cut back from ivy and weeds to open ground.

Garden ClearanceA selection of clearance work in Newport, including an overgrown front garden cut back and bagged, and a bramble-choked plot with bins.
See the project →We work across South Wales. Pick your town to see how garden clearance works locally.
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 work from the top down, carry waste along the path in manageable loads and keep the route clear. It takes more effort than a garden with vehicle access, but it is a routine type of job for us.
Where we can, we dig out the main roots, since that gives a longer lasting result. Some ivy on walls is cut at the base instead, to avoid damage, and we will explain which approach suits each part of your garden.
Yes. Sheds, fence panels, broken furniture and general garden rubbish are all part of what we remove, along with the green waste. Let us know what is there, and roughly how much, so we can plan the clearance and the loading around it.
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will come back to you, or call 07766 919630 if it is urgent.
