What we do

Six things, done properly

Most people ring us about one thing and end up having two or three done while we are there. If you are not sure what the job you need is called, just describe it — we will work it out.

  • One or two days, start to finish
  • All waste taken away, with the note

Cleared back for a new fence

Overgrown bank and hedge taken out and the ground brought back to bare soil, so the customer could get a new fence up and start again.

Why people call us back

The four things customers keep mentioning

We turn up when we said

You get a day, and we are there on it. If something changes you hear it from us first, not by looking out of the window at an empty drive.

Every bag of waste goes with us

Green waste to Chelson Meadow, household waste to a licensed transfer station, and a waste transfer note for you. Nothing left behind the shed.

We leave the paths swept

A job is not finished when the cutting stops. Patios, paths and drives get swept down before we load up, every time.

We take the time to get it right

Nobody is rushing to the next job. We check with you before we leave, and if something is not how you wanted it, we sort it.

In their words

What customers say

These are quoted exactly as they were written on our Facebook page — spelling, emoji and all. Read them there if you would rather see them in the original.

Keep it Green Garden and Waste Services did an incredible job on our garden! Based on the reviews I knew they’d be good but they have exceeded expectations! They had had their work cut out with our garden with overgrown grass, dangling trees, weeds and ivy and the weather was not on their side but they still managed an amazing job on our garden. Very reasonable and you can tell they take pride in their job as they took their time and care to make sure we were happy before leaving. Would 100% recommend to anybody.

Local, and it shows

If you see the van in your street, say hello

We are a small crew working out of Plymouth, covering a sensible radius around the city rather than claiming the whole of Devon and Cornwall. That means we can usually get to you quickly, and it means we are back if something is not right.

We also sponsor the Signal Box Frankfort AFC under-12s — local grassroots football, which matters round here.

More about us

Where we work

Plymouth and about 25 miles around it

Plymouth is home, and we work out from there across the South Hams and over the Tamar into South East Cornwall. If you are on the edge of that, ring and ask — we would rather tell you straight than take a booking we cannot do properly.

Send us a photo and we will price it

For most jobs we do not need to come out first. A couple of pictures of the garden and a rough idea of what you want doing is usually enough for a proper price — which saves you waiting in for a visit.
