A local brief makes a difference
Gardeners in Derry/Londonderry.
A garden reset in Derry/Londonderry can produce more than cuttings. Old pots, plant trays and packaging need a different plan from organic material. Describe the whole pile when requesting a quote so the finished space is clear.
Free to request. Providers price the work, access and waste removal; you choose whether to book.
Include your neighbourhood
Include the neighbourhood and full postcode when you message us about your Derry/Londonderry garden. Mention any access arrangements that could affect the visit.
Sort the request by material as well as task
Photograph beds needing attention and stored items you want removed. Label reusable pots and trays before work begins; a weathered container may still be wanted. Ask whether the price covers emptying containers, handling growing material and removing plastic, rather than treating every item as a single garden-waste load.
Local brown-bin guidance excludes pots and packaging
Derry and Strabane’s recycling guidance describes the brown bin as accepting food and garden waste while excluding plastic bags, food packaging and plant pots. Check the property’s current arrangements and accepted contents before relying on that bin for a gardening job. A plant and its container do not necessarily share the same disposal route.

Decide what is ready for reuse
For a potting-area reset, specify the clear working surface, containers to retain and unwanted contents to remove. Washing pots, assessing plants for reuse and supplying fresh compost are additional tasks to discuss. Ask how mixed material will be handled and where anything awaiting your own disposal can be stored without blocking access.

Send the Derry/Londonderry postcode, photographs of growing areas and stored items, and your retained-item list. A gardener can price the plant work, sorting and agreed removal together.

Questions about gardening in Derry/Londonderry
Can old plant pots go in the brown bin in Derry/Londonderry?
The council recycling guidance excludes plant pots. Check the route for the container material separately from eligible plant waste.
Should I empty every container before requesting a quote?
You can ask the gardener to do this. Show size and contents and identify any plants or pots you want retained.
How do I stop useful trays being removed during a tidy-up?
Group and label items to keep, and include that instruction in the agreed brief rather than relying on their appearance.
