Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• survey the bramble patch and identify boundaries, fences and buried services

• cut back bramble canes to manageable lengths using loppers, secateurs and brushcutter where needed

• dig out or grub up rootstock where practical to reduce rapid regrowth

• chip or shred arisings on site where possible and bag or load larger material for removal

• remove green waste to tip or skip and provide waste documentation on request

• tidy and rake the area and advise on follow‑up options to limit regrowth

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Small front or back‑garden patch up to about 50m2 typically takes 2–4 hours; medium areas 50–200m2 often take 0.5–1 day; large, densely rooted or difficult‑access sites can take 1–2 days. wet ground, dense roots, limited vehicle access or the need for a skip will extend time on site

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• do you remove rootstock and how do you reduce regrowth

• how will you dispose of cuttings and are skip charges included in the quote

• do you carry public liability and waste carrier insurance and can you supply certificates

• will you protect nearby lawns, borders and fences during work

• what equipment will you use and will operatives use ppe suitable for thorny growth

• do you provide a written estimate and expected timetable before starting

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear a path to the work area and mark hidden features such as water taps or service covers

• reserve parking or a loading area close to the garden for a skip or chipper

• tell the tradie about valuable or protected plants and agree what must be kept

• secure pets and keep children away from the work area while machine work or chipping is done

• check local council or estate rules on large waste removals and bonfires before booking
