From mature trees near Blackheath Common to compact courtyard gardens around Blackheath Village, tree work here needs a careful, considered approach. Our team provides professional tree felling, crown reduction, pruning and stump removal tailored to your property. We also carry out hedge work and tree planting to keep boundaries and views looking their best. If a storm causes damage, our emergency call-out service helps make sites safe quickly.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often have established trees close to buildings, garden walls and neighbouring boundaries. That means access, protection of paving and planting, and considerate noise and debris control matter. We regularly support homeowners across SE3 as well as nearby Greenwich, Lee and Kidbrooke. You’ll get practical guidance on shaping, safety and long-term health, not a one-size-fits-all cut-back.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, targets and access, then recommend the safest method and scope. Work is completed by qualified, fully insured operatives using modern rigging and clean-up practices, with arisings removed unless you’d like logs or mulch retained. Where needed, we can provide tree reports to support insurance, neighbour discussions or sale enquiries. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and a finish that leaves gardens usable the same day.
We’re used to the access challenges of Blackheath’s period homes, including narrow side returns, shared drives and on-street parking restrictions. Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we plan waste removal, chipper placement and traffic-safe loading to minimise disruption. Gardens near The Paragon and the Common often have mature specimens with spreading crowns, so we prioritise balanced reductions and careful pruning. We also check for nearby structures, underground services and boundary sensitivities before starting.

Costs vary by tree size, access, waste removal and whether rigging or traffic management is needed. As a guide, light pruning or small hedge jobs often start around £150–£350. Crown reductions for medium trees are commonly £350–£900, while larger dismantles or felling can be £900–£2,500+. Stump removal typically ranges £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. We’ll confirm after a site visit.
Many jobs are completed within half a day to a full day, such as pruning a small-to-medium tree or grinding a single stump. Larger crown reductions, multi-tree work, or careful dismantling near buildings can take 1–3 days. Timescales depend on access (side passages, shared drives), the amount of rigging required, nesting season constraints, and whether you want logs retained. We’ll provide a schedule before starting.
Often, routine pruning and garden maintenance doesn’t require permission, but protected trees may be covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area. In those cases, you may need council consent or to give notice before work starts. We help you identify likely restrictions, check available records, and advise on the correct route. If a tree is dangerous after a storm, emergency works may be allowed, with evidence recorded.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering issues that arise from how the work was carried out (for example, poor finish standards or agreed scope not completed). Tree biology can’t be guaranteed in the same way as hard landscaping, but we only recommend appropriate pruning and reductions to support long-term health. If you have concerns after the job, we’ll inspect promptly and put things right where covered.
We can plant specimen or multi-stem trees, advise on native choices, and select sizes suited to Blackheath gardens and nearby buildings. For pruning, options include crown reduction, crown lifting, deadwood removal and formative pruning for young trees. Stump removal can be by grinding (most common) or extraction where access allows. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, privacy, root space, and future maintenance, and can set up an annual care plan.
