What is involved in a garden clearance when comparing options?
Clearance usually means removing overgrowth, cutting back shrubs, tidying borders and dealing with green waste. The exact scope varies by garden size and access. Describe what needs removing and whether waste should be taken away or left on site.

When is the good time for seasonal tidy-ups?
Spring and autumn are common times for bigger tidy-ups, but it depends on growth and your goals. Describe the current condition of the garden and the look you want so the Gardener can suggest a practical schedule.
