Retained items
Trees, boundaries, utilities, sheds and materials for reuse should be marked before machinery or demolition starts.
Landscaping
Garden clearance and preparation
Clearance should leave the site ready for its next use, with waste routes, retained features, levels and hidden obstructions considered rather than simply stripped bare.
Photos, drawings or a short description can help explain the current condition.
Landscaping · Garden clearance and preparation
Start below the finished surface
Removing vegetation and old structures can reveal buried bases, roots, drains and mixed waste. The scope should distinguish clearance from excavation, disposal, treatment and reinstatement.
Part of wider landscaping work?
Mention the full job when you contact Flyson so this element can be considered in the right context.
Ground, access and water
Waste streams
Green waste, soil, timber, masonry and mixed materials may need separate handling and lawful disposal.
Next stage
The required formation for lawn, paving, foundations or planting determines how far clearance and excavation should go.
What to mention
What Flyson needs to understand about the ground
- Describe what is already known about retained items.
- Explain the priority or constraint around waste streams.
- Include enough context to discuss next stage without assuming a product or method before the property is understood.
Questions specific to garden clearance and preparation
Does clearance include stump removal?
Only if stated. Cutting vegetation, grinding a stump and excavating roots are different operations.
Can all waste go in one skip?
No. Waste carriers and facilities apply acceptance rules, and some materials require separate arrangements.
Will the garden be level after clearance?
Not automatically. Grading, imported soil, compaction or drainage may form a separate preparation stage.

Turf and lawn preparation
A healthy lawn begins with drainage, soil preparation, grading and aftercare; the turf is the final layer rather than the whole job.
Explore turf and lawn preparationLandscape drainage
Garden drainage should begin with the source, route and destination of water, not with a drain installed at the lowest visible puddle.
Explore landscape drainageGarden steps and level changes
Steps and level changes need comfortable geometry, reliable foundations, visible edges and drainage that does not send water across the walking line.
