Garden clearance is a sought-after service for several reasons. Perhaps the job is too big to tackle yourself, or maybe you are dealing with an estate, and the garden needs clearing quickly. Here we look at what outdoor clearance includes and the best way to ensure it is dealt with efficiently.
What Does Garden Clearance Entail?
Outdoor clearance can be an extension of house clearance and includes tasks such as clearing furniture and garden waste from the area. This covers:
- Removal of garden furniture
- Removal of fencing and decking
- Clearing natural waste (grass, leaves, soil, weeds, leaves, nettles)
- Clearing building waste
- Clearing guttering
A neglected garden will quickly accumulate weeds, dirt, debris and unwanted growths. It is important to use the correct tools and work safely when clearing a garden. A well-cared-for garden will be safe and tidy and can boost the value of a home. It can be easy to overlook and neglect a garden, especially after the death of a loved one, but keeping on top of garden maintenance will help get the property in order when organising their estate.
Garden and Property Clearance
Perhaps you have tackled the house clearance side of things, and the garden is the last thing on the list? When dealing with the property of someone who has passed away, there may be issues with the outside they hadn’t tended to due to ill health or age. Garden clearance jobs that will return the property to a safe and tidy condition include leaf blowing, clearing, gutter cleaning, unblocking, and removing garden and general waste.
Sometimes a simple sweep of rubbish, some weeding and mowing of the lawn is all that is required, but if a garden needs significant clearance work, you should contact a professional clearance company. It is also advised to enlist the help of a handyman or gardener in the future for general maintenance.
Probate Garden Clearance
The best way to avoid paying for these services again is to maintain your garden regularly. However, if you are simply getting things in order to sell a property after the death of a loved one, a garden or house clearance service is the perfect solution. People who have been ill for some time or in hospital are likely to have gardens that are overgrown or unnurtured, and it sometimes falls to the executor of the will to ensure it is tended to accordingly.
