Garden Clearance and Tidying Up in Otford
Homes in Otford
Otford is a village in west Kent on the River Darent, with a duck pond at its centre. Many of its homes are older cottages and period houses, with later family homes alongside them, so the house behind a garden might be old or fairly recent. Whatever its age, a clearance has the same aim: deal with what's overgrown and leave a tidy space. The photo on this page shows a garden frontage from our own work before tidying, and the review beside it mentions how efficiently the team worked and the care they took.

What matters for garden clearance and tidying up in Otford
Planning around the calendar saves trouble later. Hedge cutting should be avoided in the bird nesting season, roughly March to August, because active nests are protected by law. Lawns are usually scarified and aerated in spring or autumn. Put together, that makes autumn a useful time to take on a garden where both the hedges and the lawn need attention.
- From March to August, plan around hedges rather than cutting them back.
- In spring or autumn, think about the lawn too, as that's when scarifying and aerating usually happen.
- Tell us what's overgrown and what's simply busy, so the clearance covers both.
- Once the garden is in order, regular care through our general garden maintenance can keep it that way.

Is autumn a good time for a garden clearance?
For hedges, yes: autumn falls outside the bird nesting season, which runs roughly March to August. It's also when lawns are usually scarified and aerated, along with spring.
There's an old pond in my garden. Can you help with that?
