Bush removal

Clearing unwanted bushes and shrubs to open up your garden.

Overgrown or unwanted bushes take up space and light. I clear shrubs and bushes safely, tidy the ground afterwards and take the waste away, leaving you room to replant or start fresh.

Frequently asked questions

Can you prepare the ground for replanting?

Yes — I level and prepare the soil ready for new planting. If you'd like new planting done too, just ask and we'll talk it through.

Do you remove the roots as well?

Where practical I clear the roots so the area is ready to reuse. Very large or established stumps I'll assess first.

Problems I am asked about

Straight answers to the questions that usually come before a bush removal job.

How long does it take to remove a bush or shrub?

A single garden shrub is normally a one-visit job: cut the top down, dig or winch the rootball out, level the ground and take the waste away. What stretches it is the size and age of the root system, how many plants there are, and whether the stump needs grinding out rather than digging.

Should I cut an overgrown shrub back hard or take it out?

Most deciduous shrubs, such as spiraea, philadelphus, dogwood, forsythia and hazel, will come back from being cut to 10 to 20cm above the ground between November and March, so an overgrown but healthy one is worth renovating. Conifers other than yew will not regrow from old wood, and a weak or sickly shrub of any kind is better replaced.
