How long does it take to clear an overgrown garden?

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.

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

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.

Will the weeds come back after a garden clearance?

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.
