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.

Surely the answer there is to use the small skip twice. That is - load, empty, refill and empty, done.

Two smaller skips. OR a few mates, organisation, graft, sufficient beer and some good grub.

Humans have been moving seriously heavy stuff from A to B for millenia. Your garden is not Stonehenge!

I did some labouring for a mate who's a landscaper a few years back. He was redoing the back garden of a mid-terraced house with no rear access, where the front door opened directly onto a single track through road.

The day I helped out he was taking delivery of about 8 tonnes of sand, gravel and slabs. The only way it could be done was for them to be dumped in the road and for a gang of us to scramble to move them through the house before the traffic queue backed up too far. If that could be done then I'm sure you'll find a way!

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

Anyone idea?

I can't help with the soil, but I know slabs and similar building materials go quickly if advertised free or very cheap on Gumtree etc.

Why graft, when you can get someone else to do it?

Just a thought but someone, sometime got a load of bricks and stones delivered and managed to get them into the back garden, you just need to be as clever (and perhaps as hardworking) as they were.

Wheelbarrow out of garden to side road, and thence round to the skip - no?

As said above gumtree & freecycle

You can move/sort your stuff, people will come and collect

if you can move it to somewhere the public can access you don't even have to be in just tell them back alley help yourself.

What wont shift trolley out to a skip, might be worth the investment depends on the surface what will be easiest and most usefull long run.

Sack trolley wheelbarrow or flatbed

I have one of these

Yeah, seems the obvious solution. Not sure why we're having discussion of taking wheelbarrows through the house, which should be an absolute last resort, when there is back access (just not big enough for a fullsize skip).
