Landscaping, garden clear-outs, conservatory demolition – there’s plenty to be done in your garden, and plenty of waste that comes with it.
This week on the blog, we’re taking a look at the best skips for garden clearance and outdoor work – we’ve got a variety of skip sizes to pick from, all at affordable prices, so take a look and find out which skip is right for you…
Seasonal garden clearance
When the seasons change, so does your garden – there are plenty of points during the year that your garden might need a good clear-out, whether that’s cutting back hedges and shrubs, clearing out weeds and vines, or digging up turf to make way for new flower beds or vegetable patches.
Our small skips are ideal for this kind of garden clearance work – depending on the size of your garden and the extent of the work being carried out, we’d usually recommend:
4-yard skip hire: our smallest skip is ideal for most light garden clearance work – prices start at just £70 for two weeks.
6-yard skip hire: a little more roomy, our 6-yard skip starts at just £90 and is ideal for garden and green waste, and stones or rubble.
8-yard skip hire: this maxi skip is perfect for more extensive garden clearances, and is a popular skip hire choice for customers looking to clear green waste, soil, and stones. Prices from £120.
Landscaping work
For more extensive garden work, involving large quantities of soil, rubble, stones and green waste, we have a suitable landscaping skip hire selection to pick from. Unless the grounds to your property – and the work being undertaken – are particularly extensive, our small-to-medium skips are likely to be the best choice:
6-yard skip hire: able to hold up to four tonnes of soil and stone, our 6-yard skip costs from just £90 and is ideal for domestic landscaping work.
8-yard skip hire: with prices starting from £120, our 8-yard skips are frequently hired by homeowners and contractors undertaking significant garden landscaping work.
14-yard skip hire: for landscaping projects involving large quantities of waste, including soil, green waste, rubble, stones, concrete, flagstones and breeze blocks, our roomy 14-yard skips start at just £160 for two weeks.
Conservatory / orangery construction and demolition
Skip hire is an essential part of any conservatory or orangery construction or demolition project – there’s the ground to prepare, the space to clear, any any waste glass or timber to be dealt with.
Our skip hire can be used for any non-hazardous waste materials, so pick a roomy skip for a project like this and we’ll deal with the mixed waste in line with our 100% recycling goals.
8-yard skip hire: from just £120, our 8-yard skips are ideal for conservatory construction projects involving a little ground preparation and smaller quantities of building waste.
14-yard skip hire: perfectly suited to small-medium demolition projects, our 14-yard skips start at just £160 for two weeks and are ideal for removing bulky building and garden waste materials.
16-yard skip hire: the biggest skip you’re likely to need for garden work, the 16-yard skip starts from just £180 and – being the same size as a family car – is big enough to handle large quantities of wood, soil, rubble, building and green waste; perfect for a complete garden overhaul.
