Garden clearance Portslade

Local garden clearance in Portslade

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 Portslade. Portslade is around nine miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty-five minutes via the A27 or the A259 coast road. We clear gardens across Portslade-by-Sea, Portslade Old Village, Mile Oak, Easthill and Foredown, from a few bags of cuttings to complete overgrown plots with old sheds and rotten fencing.

Green waste from Portslade 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.

Such an amazing company! Communication was brilliant, the clean up was outstanding. Took everything little bit, was very pleased with the results. Also managed to fit me in very quickly which was a bonus! Will be using them again for sure! Thanks again guys.

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 Portslade: what we know locally

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape garden clearance jobs in Portslade.

Tidy garden patio and lawn after green waste removal

Portslade gardens

The Mile Oak and Easthill gardens are often long and sloping towards the Downs, with established hedges and plenty of lawn. The terraces in lower Portslade have small back yards reached only through the house, which means careful carrying and floor protection.

Homes in Portslade

Lower Portslade is mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Boundary Road, Station Road and the streets between the railway and the harbour. Portslade Old Village has flint cottages and period houses, while the roads climbing to Mile Oak and Easthill are mostly post-war semis, bungalows and some council-built estates. Each brings its own access considerations, and we plan for them when we price.

Council services and us

Brighton & Hove City Council runs a chargeable bulky waste service and household waste recycling sites for residents. They are useful for occasional items. When you need a mixed load cleared and carried out for you, on a set day, we are the quicker route.

As part of our garden clearance service in Portslade, we also provide:

Overgrown back garden with long grass and brambles before a garden clearance

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.

Shed removal

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.

The detail

Green waste removal

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 Portslade works

Portslade is around nine miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty-five minutes via the A27 or the A259 coast road. Here is how a typical garden clearance job in Portslade 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 Portslade

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 Portslade 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.

Mandy 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!

Julie CrickmoreFacebook review

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.

Yes. We clear overgrown gardens all over Portslade, 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.

Yes. We cover all of Portslade, including Portslade-by-Sea, the Old Village, Mile Oak and Easthill. It is about twenty-five minutes from our Worthing base.

Do I need a parking permit for your van?

Usually not. We park legally as close as possible. If your road is inside a controlled parking zone, tell us when you get in touch and we will plan the loading point or discuss visitor permit options with you.

Yes. We can empty your garden waste bags or take them away, along with loose cuttings and branches.
