Specialist Gardener Services in West Sussex and the South East
Based in Chichester, our professional gardener service in West Sussex and neighbouring counties guarantees effective bamboo removal, weed removal and bramble control for residential and commercial properties wanting to regain control of their garden
About Us
The Gardensmiths are not your average gardeners - we provide specialist invasive plant removal services for homeowners, landlords, estate managers and commercial sites across West Sussex, including Chichester, Bognor Regis, Worthing and further afield across much of the South East.
While regular garden maintenance keeps things tidy, some problems need expert attention like relentless brambles, invasive weeds and overgrown shrubs that begin to take ahold of your outdoor space.
With years of experience and the right tools, we tackle the toughest garden challenges that standard maintenance just won’t fix.
From bamboo removal in restricted spaces to renovating neglected garden areas, we specialise in problem-solving for outdoor spaces, making gardens and grounds manageable so they can return to being under your control again and all importantly, an enjoyable space once more.
Bamboo Removal
Are you dealing with an invasive plant issue in your garden?
We offer Bamboo removal as one of our specific services. If access is not a problem then a skilled operator with a mini digger could be the solution. Where we come in is situations of restricted access that wouldn't allow a digger.

Life gets in the way of gardening sometimes. What ever the reason, lack of tools, time or knowledge perhaps an area may become overgrown and and seem past its sell by date. But all is not lost, most shrubs can be renovated and maybe with the addition of just one or two extra plants the same area can be given a new lease of life without having to establish a planting from new.

How we help you and your garden
Brambles a thorny problem? Established shrubs outgrown their brief? Bindweed…err a bind? Based in West Sussex and covering an area up to South London, here at The Gardensmiths, we provide specialist gardener services including invasive plant removal and control for those jobs that are just too big to tackle.
At The Gardensmiths, we don’t just maintain gardens, we solve the problems that standard garden care can't fix. With years of experience in garden and commercial grounds maintenance, we quickly realised that some issues demanded more than routine upkeep.
Overgrown brambles, invasive weeds, and neglected spaces can take over an outdoor area, turning it into an unmanageable challenge. While we started out simply "having a go", our passion for tackling these persistent problems led us to refine our skills, invest in the right tools, and develop effective techniques for bramble clearance, invasive weed control, and garden restoration.
Today, we specialise in taming wild gardens, ensuring that even the toughest areas become usable again. Whether it’s a domestic garden in Chichester or a commercial site in Worthing, we bring expertise, efficiency and a no-nonsense approach to getting your outdoor space back under control.
What it's like to work with us
Here’s how the process usually works:

- Clear plan - You’ll get a step-by-step plan with timescales and costs.
- Action - We carry out the work, with as little disruption as possible.

It’s a straightforward process, designed to put you back in control.
Why customers choose us as their specialist gardeners
There are plenty of gardeners out there, but people come to us because:
- We specialise in tough, invasive problems rather than just routine lawn mowing or hedge trimming.
- We use the right equipment and techniques, not shortcuts that lead to regrowth.
- We’re transparent... We’ll tell you what can realistically be achieved and how long it will take.
- We care about the long-term outcome. It’s not just about making it look tidy today; it’s about preventing the same issue from taking over again.
Our approach to invasive plant removal
We’re gardeners, but think of us more like problem-solvers. Every site is different, so we always start with a visit to assess:
- What invasive plant species we’re dealing with
- How established it is
- Whether it’s spread into neighbouring land
- What impact it’s having on your property
From there, we will provide you with a quote and a recommended removal plan. Sometimes it’s mechanical excavation like digging out rhizomes and roots with precision. Other times, it’s a long-term treatment plan, applying professional-grade control methods over several months.
We’re upfront: there’s no “quick fix” with plants like knotweed or horsetail. But with patience and the right techniques, they can be controlled and removed.
The risks of leaving invasive plants untreated
We’ve seen properties in Sussex, Surrey and South London boroughs where invasive plants caused:
-
Cracked paving and lifted patios
-
Boundary disputes with neighbours (when roots cross fences)
-
Ongoing maintenance costs that spiral out of control
-
Delays or failed sales when a survey flagged Japanese Knotweed
For businesses, overgrowth can create health and safety issues, block access routes, or give a poor impression to visitors.
That’s why timely invasive plant removal isn’t just about looks, it’s about protecting your property and its value.
