Garden clearance Worthing

Local garden clearance in Worthing

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 Worthing. We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. We clear gardens across Worthing town centre, Broadwater, Tarring, West Tarring and Goring-by-Sea, from a few bags of cuttings to complete overgrown plots with old sheds and rotten fencing.

Green waste from Worthing 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.

Julie Smith, Google 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 Worthing: what we know locally

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

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

Worthing gardens

Goring, Ferring-side streets, Durrington and Findon Valley have some of the most generous gardens on this stretch of coast, and many were laid out with mature hedges, conifers and fruit trees that are now fifty or more years old. That means heavy hedge cuttings, tree limbs, rotten sheds and old greenhouses are common clearance jobs here. Worthing's chalky soil on the downland edge also produces a lot of flint and rubble when beds are dug over.

Homes in Worthing

Worthing's housing changes every mile or so. The streets around the town centre and Heene are dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats. Goring, Durrington and Salvington are dominated by 1930s semis and post-war bungalows with long rear gardens, while Offington, Charmandean and Findon Valley have larger detached homes. Knowing the property type lets us quote accurately from photos, because the access from a Heene conversion is a different job to a drive-up bungalow in Goring.

Council services and us

Adur & Worthing Councils run a chargeable bulky waste collection and a paid garden waste bin service, and West Sussex County Council runs the household recycling centres. Those are good options for the odd item, but they come with waiting times, item limits and rules on vans and DIY waste. We are the alternative when you want everything gone in one visit, loaded for you, on a day that suits you.

Coast and seafront

Worthing's seafront has rows of beach huts and a lot of seafront flats. Salt air is hard on timber and metal, so rotten beach huts, rusted garden furniture and corroded barbecues are regular items for us. We have cleared dismantled beach huts from the shingle before, which means working with the tide, the promenade and plenty of passers-by.

Specialist garden clearance services in Worthing

As part of our garden clearance service in Worthing, 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 Worthing works

We are based in Worthing, so most jobs in the borough are a few minutes from the yard. Here is how a typical garden clearance job in Worthing 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 Worthing

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 Worthing 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.

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

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

Saw one of there trucks driving through Worthing, called the number today. Sent a picture of what we needed clear. They came back straight away with a price and were able to pick it all up on the same day. Really friendly team and great service. Will definitely be using this company again.

Hannah FielderGoogle 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.

A Star customerCustomer review

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.

Garden clearance in Worthing: FAQs
