Garden clearance Brighton
Local garden clearance in Brighton & Hove
From a few bags of cuttings to a full overgrown garden, we clear green waste, junk and old structures and leave your outdoor space tidy.
Garden clearances are some of our most popular jobs in Brighton & Hove. Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. We clear gardens across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park and Seven Dials, from a few bags of cuttings to complete overgrown plots with old sheds and rotten fencing.
Green waste from Brighton & Hove gardens goes to licensed composting facilities, and everything else is sorted for recycling or disposal. We leave the garden tidy and work carefully around the plants and features you want to keep.
Bit of a mix up with timings but once arrived the boys were quick, efficient and very thorough in their work. There was an awful lot of stuff in our garage that was not being used and we needed it clearing for selling our house.
A Star customer, Customer review
We clear green waste such as hedge cuttings, branches, grass and leaves, along with the non-green stuff that tends to collect in gardens: old furniture, broken pots, rotten decking, fence panels, sheds, greenhouses, paving and rubble. It all goes in the same visit, loaded by us and taken to the right facility.

Local knowledge
Garden clearance in Brighton & Hove: what we know locally
Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape garden clearance jobs in Brighton & Hove.
Brighton gardens
City gardens are usually small and reached through the house, and many of them are steep or terraced into the hillside. Out towards Patcham, Withdean and Rottingdean the gardens get larger, with mature hedges and trees. Garden clearances in the city mean carrying everything by hand through the property, which we do carefully.
Homes in Brighton
Much of central Brighton and Hove is made up of Regency and Victorian townhouses that have been converted into flats, often with four or five floors and no lift. Hanover and Elm Grove are packed with steep terraced streets, while Patcham, Withdean, Hangleton and Westdene are mainly inter-war and post-war semis and bungalows. Understanding the building is the key to pricing a Brighton clearance accurately.
Council services and us
Brighton & Hove City Council offers a chargeable bulky waste collection and runs household waste recycling sites at Hollingdean and Wilson Avenue. These are fine for the occasional item. For multiple items, mixed rubbish or anything that needs carrying down several flights of stairs, a single visit from us is usually quicker and better value.
Coast and seafront
Hove's famous seafront beach huts and the flats along the seafront are hit hard by salt air. We clear beach hut contents, rusted furniture and water-damaged belongings from seafront properties.
What we take in Brighton & Hove
Every garden clearance job in Brighton & Hove is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
Hedge and tree cuttingsIncluding large branches and logs.
Grass, leaves and weedsLoose or bagged.
Turf and bagged soilHeavy, so let us know roughly how much.
Sheds and summerhousesDismantled and removed.

As part of our garden clearance service in Brighton & Hove, we also provide:
Overgrown garden clearance
An overgrown garden can feel impossible to tackle. Brambles and nettles take over the beds, the lawn becomes knee-high meadow, hedges block the light, and underneath it all there is often rubbish, old furniture and broken pots. Our overgrown garden clearance service deals with the lot.
Timber sheds do not last forever. After a few years of Sussex wind and rain, roofs leak, floors rot and doors stop closing. Replacing a shed starts with getting the old one out, and that is what we do.
Green waste is collected and taken to licensed composting facilities, where it is turned into soil improver rather than sent to landfill. We take hedge and tree cuttings, branches and logs, grass cuttings, leaves, weeds, turf and bagged soil, and we can load straight from the pile or from your garden waste bags.
If you have a lot of cuttings after a hedge or tree job, we can collect them on the same day the work finishes, so the garden is not left covered for days.
Overgrown garden clearance
When a garden has been left for a season or more, we can cut back overgrowth, clear brambles and nettles, strim long grass and remove the resulting waste, along with any rubbish that has been hidden in the undergrowth. It is a common job for new homeowners and for families clearing a relative's property.
We will talk to you about what should stay, such as mature shrubs, trees or features, and work around them. The aim is to leave a clear, workable garden you or your gardener can take forward.
How garden clearance in Brighton & Hove works
Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. Here is how a typical garden clearance job in Brighton & Hove works:
1
Send us photos
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
2
Get a clear price
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
3
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
4
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price of garden clearance in Brighton & Hove
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Amount of green waste
Measured by volume, based on your photos.
Heavy materials
Soil, turf, rubble and paving are heavy and cost more to dispose of.
Structures
Sheds, greenhouses and decking need dismantling time.
Access
A long carry or a route through the house takes longer.
Cutting back
If we are clearing overgrowth rather than just removing waste, labour time increases.
How to prepare
Point out any plants, shrubs or features you want to keep.
Tell us how we get into the garden: side gate, back lane or through the house.
If waste has to come through the house, we will protect floors, so let us know.
Mention anything heavy, such as soil, turf or paving, when you send photos.
Check old sheds and garages for cement roof sheets and tell us if you are unsure.
Move cars from the drive if we need to park close to the garden.
Responsible disposal
Where your Brighton waste goes
Green waste goes to licensed composting facilities. Timber, metal and glass are separated for recycling where possible, rubble and soil go to inert waste facilities, and the remainder is taken to licensed transfer stations.
Whoever takes your waste, check they are a registered waste carrier. Householders have a legal duty of care, and if waste you paid someone to remove is fly-tipped it can be traced back to you. We are licensed and insured, take every load to authorised facilities, and are always happy to show our credentials.

Fantastic service I highly recommend them, took a shed down yesterday rang them last night they were here first thing this morning to take it away along with other garden waste. Highly competitive rates but they don't cut corners. They swept and tidied up after themselves as well, I'll definitely use A Star in all my future jobs. Thank you.
MMandy HarrisFacebook review
Jordan organized his crew to come and clear a mountain of rubbish from my back garden. A well overdue clearance all soggy and disintegrated and included a dead rat within..yuk. The lads did an amazing job. They were polite and courteous and worked flat out in the pouring rain. I can highly recommend them and will be using them again. I probably won't leave it so long next time though!

A Star Waste Management did a great job clearing a big pile of old decking from my garden. They were efficient, reasonably priced and the men were polite and respectful, and were mindful not to damage any of my plants. Would definitely use their service again.

Quoted a good price for some hardcore removal after breaking up a pathway. A Star came and removed the waste the next day. The lads were polite and got the job done quickly. Highly recommend.
Do you clear overgrown gardens in Brighton & Hove?
Yes. We clear overgrown gardens all over Brighton & Hove, cutting back brambles and long grass and removing hidden rubbish, sheds and old fencing.
Is it better than the Brighton & Hove City Council garden waste bin?
The council's garden waste bin is ideal for regular cuttings. For a big clear-out, overgrown garden or bulky items such as sheds and fencing, one visit from us clears it all.
Can you take garden waste after my gardener has worked in Brighton & Hove?
Yes. Many local gardeners and tree surgeons use us to take away the cuttings, often on the same day.
Do you cover the whole of Brighton and Hove?
Yes. We cover Brighton and Hove from Hangleton and Portslade in the west to Kemptown, Whitehawk, Woodingdean and Rottingdean in the east, and north to Patcham and Coldean.
How do you deal with parking in central Brighton?
We plan the loading point before the day. In controlled parking zones we may ask you to arrange a visitor permit or bay suspension, and we keep the van's time on the street as short as possible.
Do you take garden waste bags?
Yes. We can empty your garden waste bags or take them away, along with loose cuttings and branches.
Can you clear a completely overgrown garden?
Yes. We cut back overgrowth, clear brambles and remove the waste, along with any rubbish in the garden.
Do you remove sheds?
Yes. We dismantle and remove sheds, summerhouses and greenhouses. See our shed removal page for details.
WhatsApp a few pictures of what needs to go and the route to the road. We reply with a clear, fixed quote, usually the same working day, and collections are often possible within a day or two.
