Clearing Down to Berkhamsted Ground

A clearance ends at the soil, and here that soil is chalk with flint under a thin cap, on distinctly steep Chiltern ground. It matters at the moment you decide what happens next, because chalk with flint under a thin cap, on distinctly steep Chiltern ground wants a quite different plan from ground that behaves the opposite way once it is finally visible again.
The Gardens We Clear in Berkhamsted
Clearance work here is mostly on large beech and other Chiltern hardwoods on sloping plots, many of them protected and most of them old. That tells us roughly what is under the growth before we start, and among large beech and other Chiltern hardwoods on sloping plots, many of them protected and most of them old it is worth agreeing what is being uncovered rather than clearing first and asking afterwards.
Getting the Waste Out in Berkhamsted

Clearance is priced on how the material reaches the vehicle, and here access is narrow historic streets and steep drives, with limited turning space. Where big Chiltern beech on steep ground, which rewards management and punishes neglect, that carry is the largest single part of the job, so the two things to tell us are where a vehicle can stand and how far that is from the garden.
Where to Start on a Neglected Berkhamsted Garden
The order matters more than the effort. Among large beech and other Chiltern hardwoods on sloping plots, many of them protected and most of them old the sequence that works is cut back to see the ground, agree what stays, then clear — because on chalk with flint under a thin cap, on distinctly steep Chiltern ground what you uncover determines whether the next stage is planting, turfing or drainage.
