When you have a garden you are likely to need to clear up a fair amount of waste. This can include weeds, leaves, and small twigs, but it also could include old shed demolition materials, bricks, garden furniture, and fences.
Rubble removal can be a hassle, but there are ways to make it easier. One option is to hire a skip, which can be a great way to get rid of large amounts of rubble. However, these can be costly and you may only get rid of a certain amount of debris before the skip is full.
Another option is to hire a garden clearance service to do the work for you. This will save you time and allow you to relax while they do the hard work, so it is definitely worth looking into if you have a lot of garden waste.
If you are unsure about what kind of tools you will need to do the job properly then it is best to consult with a professional. They will be able to recommend the correct tools and advise on how to use them.
Digging pry bars are a handy tool to have for breaking up old bricks, cinder blocks, and lumps of concrete. They are a little bit like a spade in that they loosen the ground up with a small circular blade on one side and then a long horizontal blade on the other side which is ideal for digging in hard earth that contains rubble and hardcore.
They are not designed for heavy duty work, they should be used carefully and only for small areas of garden that need digging. If you have a large amount of garden that needs digging then it may be better to employ a local company who will take on the task for you.
Salvage yards are a great resource for getting rid of any rubble that you have. These companies are usually located in places such as car parks or industrial parks, and can take any type of material that is in good condition.
The only downside to this is that they may not take all of your waste. Some of your material may be hazardous, so you will need to check the waste disposal rules in your area.
Some people bury their rubble in the garden but this can pollute the soil and affect the quality of the plants that they want to grow. It can also attract vermin and other animals that like to gnaw through things to create homes for themselves, which can be dangerous to your health.
Other options for garden rubble removal involve hiring a waste contractor who will carry the rubble to your local tip or recycling centre. They will charge based on the volume of the waste and will often need to drive to your property to collect it.
This is the cheapest and easiest way to remove garden waste, but it does require a lot of manual labour. It can be a daunting prospect, and it is also not the most eco-friendly way to go about it.
