So, for one reason or another a family member in Clacton has a garden which is wildly overgrown with brambles, weeds, bushes and a tree. We're talking 6-7 feet high.
They're now on the shielded list, so I seem to have inherited the thankless task of trying to get this sorted so they can at least go outside. It's about 600 square feet. I've had one quote (2 man job for 2 days) which was £850. It's the only quote I've managed to get, and includes cutting that all back and disposing of the waste.
So, given I have no idea if that's good or bad - does anyone else?
Thanks in advance! |  |

I was thinking along the lines of the one used in Fargo when I first mentioned it and was a bit disappointed to see the feeder holes on those advertised at Screwfix weren't big enough to fit a body into.
I think those are probably a bit more money tbf. |
Not that I am thinking of doing it but you never know when a bit or foreknowledge is useful:

For £900, I'll do it in a couple of hours. Probably ten minutes in fact.
I have specially tested equipment and techniques.

I hear Hacheston is lovely this time of year. |
I think the police may deem a trip to Hacheston non-essential travel, even for people who live there. | |

Its a very easy job to cut that back in a small area... if your measurement is correct 600 sq feet is 20 feet x 30 feet....not much bigger than a pocket hankerchief.
A decent heavy duty strimmer will cut through most of it with the rather deadly metal attachment - but watch your toes and eyes....... the tree you can probably cut down and dg out the root in a few hours..... i did my much bigger garden with a honda strimmer in an afternoon.
The trick is...what is the masterplan for the cleared area... it will all grow back in weeks unless the roots are sorted etc... any decent garden clearance person would want to know what you're hoping to achieve | |
