GreenClear was built on a simple belief: every garden deserves a second chance. Since 2015, we’ve cleared, transformed, and handed back thousands of outdoor spaces across the UK — responsibly, fairly, and without shortcuts.

Started with One Overgrown Garden. Grew from There.

GreenClear was founded in 2015 by two former landscapers who kept seeing the same problem: homeowners struggling to find an affordable, trustworthy team to clear gardens that had simply got away from them. No judgement, no inflated quotes — just proper, professional clearance work.

We started in the West Midlands with a single van and a chip-and-go attitude. Today, we operate across England, Scotland, and Wales, with a fleet of vehicles, an in-house team of over 30, and a commitment to the same values that shaped day one: honest pricing, responsible disposal, and a job left spotless.

Every member of our team is uniformed, trained, and background-checked. We hold a full Environment Agency waste carrier licence, and we’re proud that more than 60% of our new customers come from direct referrals.

Nine Years of Growth

2015

Founded in the West Midlands

GreenClear launched with one van, two founders, and a mission to make garden clearance affordable and trustworthy for every homeowner.

2017

Environment Agency Licence Awarded

We secured our full waste carrier licence, allowing us to handle, transport, and dispose of garden and green waste legally across the UK.

2019

Expanded to London & the South East

High demand from London customers led us to establish a dedicated crew serving the capital and South East — now our busiest region.

2021

500th Five-Star Review

We hit a milestone we’re genuinely proud of — 500 five-star reviews from customers across the UK. A testament to the team, not the founders.

2023

Nationwide Coverage — Scotland & Wales

GreenClear now covers all of England, Scotland, and Wales, with same-day availability in most major cities and surrounding areas.

2024

2,400 Gardens & Counting

We’ve now cleared over 2,400 gardens nationwide. Our eco-first disposal policy diverts over 90% of all green waste from landfill.

Our Values Aren’t a Poster.
They’re How We Work.

💷

Honest Pricing

No hidden charges, no last-minute add-ons. We survey your garden, give you a fixed price, and that’s what you pay — full stop.

🌱

Eco-Responsible Disposal

Over 90% of the green waste we collect is composted or recycled. We minimise landfill on every single job, and document it all.

🛡️

Fully Licensed & Insured

We hold a full Environment Agency waste carrier licence and comprehensive public liability insurance. You’re protected from start to finish.

Speed Without Cutting Corners

We’re fast — same-day availability in most areas — but we never rush a job. The garden leaves our hands clean, or we come back.

🤝

Respect for Your Property

Our team treats every property as if it were their own. Uniformed, professional, and tidy — you won’t know we were there except for the cleared garden.

📋

Proper Documentation

Every clearance job comes with a waste transfer note — the legal record of responsible disposal. We provide it every time, without being asked.
