How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the garden clearance at your Galashiels address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Galashiels. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected garden clearance from Galashiels is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Garden Clearance starts from £120. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift

All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Garden Clearance FAQs
Do you cut the overgrowth back or just take it?
Cutting back is available as a priced labour item on Galashiels jobs. If you have already cut it, collection alone is the cheaper route.
What if there is Japanese knotweed?
We will not touch it. Knotweed is a controlled waste requiring a specialist licensed contractor, and moving it incorrectly is an offence.
How much does garden clearance cost in Galashiels?
Garden Clearance in Galashiels starts from £120. The final figure depends on volume, weight and access. Send photographs on WhatsApp and we confirm a fixed price rather than an hourly guess.
Can you handle difficult access?
Yes. Stairs, lifts, long carries, narrow lanes and permit bays are all workable at Galashiels properties — we just need to know in advance so the right crew and vehicle are sent.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Galashiels vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your garden clearance is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Galashiels collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the garden clearance is accessible from outside at the Galashiels property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Which Galashiels postcodes do you cover for garden clearance?
Yes. Our garden clearance covers the whole of Galashiels, including the TD1 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Hawick (14 miles), Peebles (15 miles) and Edinburgh (28 miles) — distances are straight-line from Galashiels. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Galashiels?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Galashiels, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
