Garden Tidy-ups & Landscaping Maintenance

Garden tidy-ups and maintenance keep outdoor space in order: mowing, pruning, weeding, hedge trimming and clearing away the green waste, as a one-off tidy or on a regular basis.

Quick answer

Who it is for: Homeowners, landlords and agents wanting a garden tidied or kept up.

What it covers: Mowing, pruning, weeding, hedge trimming and green-waste removal, one-off or ongoing.

When a survey is needed: Photos of the garden help; larger or very overgrown gardens may need a look.

A tidy-up brings an overgrown or neglected garden back under control; ongoing maintenance keeps it that way. Both include clearing and removing the green waste generated.

This is different from a one-off garden clearance, which is about removing accumulated waste, furniture and structures rather than routine upkeep.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference from a garden clearance?

A tidy-up is routine upkeep: mowing, pruning and weeding. A garden clearance is a one-off removal of accumulated waste, furniture and structures.

Can you visit regularly?

Yes. A regular schedule can be agreed to keep the garden maintained through the season.

Do you take the green waste away?

Yes. Cuttings and green waste are cleared and sent for composting or recycling where possible.

Do you do tree work?

Large tree surgery and felling need a qualified arborist and are not part of a garden tidy-up. iTrade can point you to the right specialist.

Can you cut back a very overgrown garden?

Yes. Heavily overgrown gardens are brought back under control, with the initial cut-back reflected in the quote.
