Garden clearance across Worthing and Sussex
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.
Gardens get away from people. A busy summer, a health problem or a new house with a neglected plot, and suddenly the hedges are head-height, the lawn is a meadow and the shed is full of rotten furniture. Our garden clearance service gets you back to a clean slate so you can start enjoying the space again.
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.
Swift and efficient waste removal. Quick response from the team. Quoted the job from the photos I sent. They kept in communication with us, so we weren't hanging around. The guys worked quickly to clear the area, they were very professional. I highly recommend their service.
A Star customer, Customer review
We are careful with what you want to keep. One of our Google reviewers wrote that our team were mindful not to damage any of their plants while clearing a big pile of old decking, and that is exactly how we like to work.

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.
Sheds, greenhouses, decking and fencing
Old garden structures are often the biggest part of a garden clearance. We dismantle and remove timber sheds, summerhouses, greenhouses (including the glass), rotten decking, fence panels and posts, pergolas and play equipment. Older sheds and garages sometimes have cement roof sheets that may contain asbestos, and those need a specialist, so tell us if you are unsure.
Timber is separated for recycling where it is clean enough, metal frames are recycled, and glass is handled carefully.

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterBeforeAfterHow it works
Four simple steps from first message to a clear space.
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.
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.
We load and sweep
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
Responsible disposal
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
What affects the price
Every job is quoted individually from photos. These are the factors that make the difference:
Measured by volume, based on your photos.
Soil, turf, rubble and paving are heavy and cost more to dispose of.
Sheds, greenhouses and decking need dismantling time.
A long carry or a route through the house takes longer.
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 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.
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!
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.
