I have used Garden Rangers for several years to maintain the ivy on the front of my house. They come twice a year (spring and autumn) and always do a meticulous job.The ivy looks perfectly shaped and tidy every time. They are completely reliable, make sure you’re happy with the work, and tidy up thoroughly before leaving. Highly recommended

Jonathan and his team have done another fantastic job removing an old hedge that didn’t survive the heatwave and replanting. I’m a repeat customer and I throughly recommend the garden rangers.

Our rear and front gardens had suffered from several years of neglect due to age and illness. We called in Garden Rangers. They provided a detailed quotation. The team worked hard, cutting hedges, removing weeds and brambles, strimming and mowing overgrown lawns and cleared paths and drives. They checked with us before pruning shrubs to make sure we were happy with how far plants were cut down. All waste was removed and the garden was left clean and tidy. We are delighted with their work which exceeded our expectations. We will definitely use them again.

John and his team were way above my expectations. I had my front garden landscaped from a wilderness of over grown bushes and weeds into a stunning new space that has been regravelled and has the wow factor. The team worked hard respectfully and constantly, exceptional value for money together with hard work and leaving the area, driveway, surrounding borders looking immaculate, thank you Garden Rangers

Jonathan and his team did a fantastic job with a planting design and installation earlier this year. Jonathan came around this week to check in on how things were going and gave some excellent advice on routine maintenance and adding some plants based on how the garden is performing. We couldn't be happier and have also booked him to come back in February to help with getting it ready for the new season.

The Garden Rangers did a wonderful job reinstating my rockery, there was some very large stones but they created a new rockery with a stone path at the top.

Garden Rangers were asked to make my garden more manageable as there are trees and shrubs that had become overgrown. In the heat of July they worked solidly for 3 days, and were still polite and friendly. They were neat, tidy and considerate of the neighbours. My garden is now ready for me to maintain. I will be using John and his team again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Employed Garden Rangers to restructure the trees & bushes in my garden. Quote and all communications were very clear & good. Turned up promptly and completed the work to a high standard exactly as agreed. Team were all very professional & courteous and at the end of the job they fully cleared all up to a high standard. Very happy with the work & approach - very professional and would highly recommend them.

More About Our Garden Restoration Service

Ideal if borders are swallowed, shrubs are out of shape, and the garden needs a “back to manageable” overhaul.

u

Has time-consuming life and work commitments left your garden to become overgrown from the once perfectly manicured space it once was?

u

Have you recently moved to a property that has a variety of mature shrubs and plants and has been left to become overgrown?

u

Do you not have the time, manpower, equipment or means to get rid of the huge amount of green waste to be able to do an initial clearance of your garden?

u

Is it important that you find a team of gardeners that you can trust to spend the extra time being careful to preserve mature shrubs and plants in between the overgrowth?

We understand and want to help.

A lot of “clearance” work is just chaos: everything gets chopped, good plants get destroyed, and the garden looks worse six months later.

We take a different approach:

N

We identify what’s worth keeping before we remove anything

N

We prune with correct timing and technique — protecting plant health and future shape

N

We restore structure to borders and beds, so the garden is manageable going forward

N

We can then put a maintenance plan in place, so it doesn’t slide back again

N

Guided by Jonathan Gregory BSc (Hons), MCI Hort, we’re plant-led – which is exactly what overgrown gardens need.

The Root of the Problem

We offer a thorough, service that identifies plants and shrubs that can be kept between the brambles, nettles, and invasive weeds. Our team will take the time to prune and restore shrubs and plants and weed and clear around them to restore your garden back to its former glory. Click here to learn more about our plant pruning service.

Forking out weed roots and taking out brambles roots is often the hardest but most important part of a clearance. Our clearances can involve going through border by border clearing the roots to give you the best start to maintaining your grounds or garden. Ensuring that once cleared the overgrowth does not rush back into full growth to overwhelm you in the future

On-Going Support Once Complete

We offer a regular maintenance service or landscaping solutions to keep on top of your garden once cleared. Whether it’s rotovating and planting borders up to populate and create less room for weeds. Or to pave or gravel the area – we will always offer you an assessment of future care of your garden.

Peace of Mind

Not knowing how much waste will be generated from your clearance or restoration, or how many skips will be needed – means it becomes hard to budget to do the work yourself. Our Assessment beforehand will lead to a fixed price proposal – so you know the exact cost to get the work done and waste cleared from your garden.

Blank Slate

In some cases, we realise that our customers want a blank slate before planning their new garden. Clearing everything from the garden and realising the space available can generate fresh inspiration and get the wheels in motion to start on designing and landscaping your outdoor area.

Who Our Garden Restoration Service Is For (and Not For)

We’re a Great Fit If…

  • You’re in Derby or Nottingham and have a garden that needs a proper reset

  • You want expert pruning and careful plant decisions, not a “cut everything back” approach

  • You’re happy with a minimum spend from £495 (incl. VAT) plus waste disposal costs if required

  • You care about the garden looking good long-term, not just temporarily neat

We’re Probably Not the Right Choice If…

 

  • You want the cheapest clearance quote purely to remove waste

  • You’re looking for a quick “mow and go” tidy for a very small garden

  • You mainly want someone to “just get rid of everything” with no care for plants

Being upfront saves everyone time.
