What moves the price
- Size of the area — a larger garden has more ground to cut back and more waste to carry out.
- Volume of debris — the more waste there is, the more van loads or skips are needed to take it away.
- Specific requirements like weed control or rubbish disposal — old furniture and rubble cost more to dispose of than green waste.
- Condition of your garden — a garden left overgrown for years needs heavier cutting and more trips to clear.
- Complexity of the job — overgrown beds and tangled roots in a garden take longer to clear than open lawn.
- Access to the site — waste carried out through the house or a side passage slows a garden clearance.
Domestic services and household services prices in Ireland are up 11% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Domestic services and household services, to 2025 December).

How to pay less
- Bagging light garden waste yourself before the visit cuts the time the clearance team spends on site.
- Composting green waste on site, where you have space, means less to take away and pay to dispose of.
- Taking old furniture to a recycling centre yourself, and leaving the garden waste to the team, lowers the disposal charge.
- Clearing the garden before it becomes badly overgrown costs less than a heavy clearance later.
- Combining garden clearance with patio and pathway clearance in a single visit saves a return trip.
