But how do you approach such a job? And what are the costs of clearing and disposing of a garden? In this article we discuss all aspects of clearing your garden and creating a new one.

Clearing your garden means removing all old plants, trees or perhaps even one tree and paving. This may also include the removal of soil and materials.

What is the best way to clear the garden?

Clearing your garden can be a difficult job, especially if you have no experience with removing excavations and debris. It may be helpful to seek the help of a gardener or evacuation company to be switched on, especially in a large garden or if there are several trees, for example.

There are a number of factors that determine the cost of clearing a garden, including the size of the garden, the amount of debris and the difficulty of the job. The average cost of clearing a simple garden ranges from €500 to €1000, including removal. For a larger or more complex garden, the costs may be higher.

Step-by-step plan for clearing the garden

Clearing a garden consists of several steps, depending on the current state of the garden and what you want to preserve for the garden. Here are some steps you can follow when clearing your garden:

Step 1: Remove the plants

Start by removing all plants and trees in the garden. This may be easiest using an excavator, especially if there are several trees or garden plants. Also remove all tree stumps and roots.

Step 2: Remove the paving

Remove all old paving bricks and concrete slabs. This may also include excavating the ground where the paving is located.

Step 3: Dig out the garden

Dig out the garden to the desired depth for the garden. The depth to be excavated may vary. This depends on the layout of the future garden. If a pond or a raised terrace is to be built, the garden must be dug deeper.

Step 4: Raising and leveling

If the future garden is at the same level as the current garden, then the garden does not need to be raised. In most cases, however, the garden must be filled with new soil to allow the new plants and shrubs to grow. It is important to level the ground well before you start your new garden.

Step 5: Is your garden empty? Cleaning up soil and waste

Het afvoeren, uitgraven en opruimen van grond en afval kan een belangrijk onderdeel zijn bij een tuin leeghalen. Het kan nodig zijn om een container te huren of de hulp van een afvalverwerkingsbedrijf in te schakelen. Zorg ervoor dat u vooraf de kosten van het afvoeren bespreekt met de hovenier of het evacuation company.

Step 6: Finally create the new garden

Now that the old garden has been cleared and the ground has been raised and leveled, it is time to start building the new garden. This may include planting new flowers, shrubs and trees, as well as building a raised patio, pond or other landscaping features. It is important to have a plan before you start building the new garden, so that you know where everything should go.

What are the costs for clearing a garden?

The cost of clearing your garden can vary depending on the size of the garden, the difficulty of the job and the amount of rubble and waste that needs to be removed. The average cost of clearing a garden ranges from €500 to €1000, including removal. For a larger or more complex garden, the costs may be higher.

What are the differences in costs between clearing an easy garden and a difficult garden?

Clearing an average garden, for example a garden with only grass and a few plants, is generally less expensive than clearing a more difficult garden, for example a garden with several trees, shrubs and a pond. The costs of clearing a difficult garden can often add up.
