Question 1

How long does it take to clear an overgrown garden?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size and what is growing there. A small to medium garden with moderate overgrowth might be done in half a day. A heavily overgrown large garden can take a full day or more. We always give you a time estimate when we quote.

Question 2

Is it worth hiring a professional to clear an overgrown garden?

Accepted Answer

For light overgrowth, DIY is manageable. For anything with established brambles, deep ivy roots, or climbing plants embedded into fencing, professional clearance is almost always faster and cheaper in the long run.

Question 3

Will the weeds come back after a garden clearance?

Accepted Answer

Some will, yes. A clearance removes growth above ground and as much root system as possible, but certain plants like bindweed are stubborn. The best way to prevent regrowth is to put something down - turf, membrane and gravel, or paving - fairly quickly after clearance.

Question 4

How much does it cost to clear an overgrown garden in SE London?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary by size and density of growth. A small dense courtyard typically costs £570 to £800. A medium garden with existing features costs £930 to £1,370. A large heavily overgrown rear garden costs £740 to £1,170. Urban Gardeners charges £85 per hour for a 2-person team. Send photos for a free quote within 24 hours.
