Redoing garden no side access

ric1982

Hi,

We are planning to re do the whole garden (medium size). Its currently fully paved with stones and bricks.

Was planning to hire skip but only issue is that there is no side access to the garden from front. We have access to the rear of the garden from side road but its not wide enough to get full size skip truck.

Wondering how to get all the old bricks and stone pavements, plants and soil out from the garden!:mad::o

Anyone idea?

How about buying some Hippo Bags and maybe a small trolley if you need one?

Hire a power barrow?

Problem with hippo bags is that I still need space to pickup the bags by truck.

Does anyone has any experience of taking wheel barrow through a house with all its obstacles, would I need a ramp for going in/out of house?

I can image people in mid terrace house could be in same situation!

Have you asked the skip hire company if they can get down the side access road? Skip lorry drivers can get in places you wouldn't think possible.

If they can, then can the skip be lifted over the fence / or the fence taken down for duration of works, and the skip placed on your garden.

Yes I have but they think they can only get small truck (similar to long transit van). And if the wight is more then we can only use small skip. I think we at-least need medium size which requires big truck to lift up.

Employ a company that does rubbish removal. They will park their truck at the end of the access path and will have a couple of lads with wheel barrows to move it for you.


Not necessarily the cheapest option but certainly the easiest for you.

Have a normal size skip, but take slabs on a trolley down back passage, and round the street to the skip.

If it's a straight run & you are very careful. But you said you had rear access so I assumed you'd be able to get out that way & round to wherever the skip is.

Yes but you have to be very careful, use scaffold boards as ramps.
