Tredegar sits on the hillsides of the Sirhowy valley, and many of its gardens slope away behind terraced homes. A plot that is not kept up can become a wall of brambles and weeds in a couple of seasons. We cut it back, strip out old rubbish and structures, and take everything away when we leave.
We cover the town and nearby places including Georgetown, Sirhowy and Ebbw Vale. Tell us what the garden needs, and we can agree what to clear, what to leave and the easiest way to get the waste out. Our work also reaches Rhymney.
The first step is to deal with the tall growth. We cut brambles, nettles, long grass and woody weeds close to the ground, working across the plot so that the loose material can be gathered easily. Once the top growth is gone, hidden problems show up: broken paving, old fence posts, buried rubbish and trip hazards. Tredegar gardens often have a lot hidden at the bottom of the plot, so we check carefully as we go.
We then clear those as well, so the garden is properly open rather than just shorter. In Tredegar, where plots are often long and narrow, this approach lets us move steadily from the house end to the far boundary without leaving half-cleared patches between. The outcome is a garden that is cleared in a steady, orderly way rather than hacked at in patches and abandoned halfway through the job.
Terraced hillside gardens in Tredegar often share walls and fences with neighbours on both sides, and the ground may drop away sharply at the back. We cut up to boundaries carefully and keep an eye on retaining walls, since pulling roots from them can loosen stonework. If we see a wall that looks shaky, we tell you. Boundaries are shared, so it makes sense to be careful and, where it helps, to let neighbours know the work is happening.
Where a shed or fence has failed, we can take it down and remove it. Where a boundary is sound but hidden under ivy, we can cut back and leave it standing. Our aim is to match the clearance to what you need, not to strip a garden bare without reason. That keeps the job sensible and avoids removing something that was perfectly useful.
Many people ask for a garden clearance in Tredegar when a property changes hands, when a tenant leaves or when a relative's house needs sorting out. Whatever the reason, we keep it simple: look at the plot, agree the work, clear it and take the waste away. You are left with an open garden ready for a lawn, patio, fence or just a tidy finish.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Tredegar.

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. Long narrow plots are common here and we work through them in sections from one end to the other. If the only way out is through the house, we carry waste through carefully and protect the route.
Yes. Overgrown gardens can put buyers off, so many owners ask us to clear them first. We can remove brambles, rubbish and old structures and leave the plot looking neat. Let us know the date you have in mind.
Yes. Show us what you want to keep before we start and we will work around it carefully, whether that is a lawn, a shrub or a favourite corner. If something is hard to identify under the overgrowth, we will check with you before cutting it back.
