What we walked into
The front garden had been left long enough for trees to seed themselves across the driveway. The grass was past knee height and the path had vanished.
Two hours later the trees were out, the grass was down and the path was back. Along the edge we found an old Victorian border that had been completely hidden.

Edges cut back to find the path and border.
Waste away
Three bags taken away, included in the £250.
Deal with self seeded trees early
Self seeded trees like sycamore and ash are easy to pull as seedlings, but a few years later they're rooted into the drive and need cutting. Catching them in a yearly tidy up saves damage to paving and walls.
Older houses often have original edging and borders under years of growth. We go carefully along edges for exactly that reason.
