From mature street trees to compact back gardens, Brockley needs careful, considered arboriculture. We carry out tree felling, crown reduction and pruning with minimal disruption, keeping your garden usable and your neighbours happy. If you’re near Brockley Market or walking distance from Hilly Fields, we can assess access and risks quickly. Our team also handles hedge work, tree planting and emergency call-outs across SE4.
Homes in Brockley often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, where access can be tight and boundaries close. That’s where experienced planning and controlled rigging make the difference. We regularly support homeowners in Honor Oak, Crofton Park, New Cross and Ladywell, tailoring methods to the property layout and garden size. Whether it’s a light prune for more daylight or a full removal, we work to protect paving, fences and planting.
We start with a site visit, clear recommendations and a written quote, then schedule work around parking and neighbour considerations. Safety comes first: qualified climbers, proper lowering techniques, and full waste removal with optional logs/woodchip retained if you want them. You’ll get straightforward advice, not upselling, plus documentation when needed, including tree reports. Our tidy finish and reliable communication are why local homeowners book us again.
As tree contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to Brockley’s narrow roads, permit parking and limited rear access. Many SE4 gardens sit behind terraces with shared side returns, so we plan equipment choice and waste removal carefully. We also factor in nearby public spaces and mature tree stock around areas like Brockley Cemetery when advising on pruning and long-term management. Where required, we’ll help check constraints such as TPOs and conservation areas before work starts.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Brockley vary by tree size, access, waste volume and whether climbing/rigging is needed. As a guide, small pruning jobs often fall around £180–£450, while crown reductions on medium trees are commonly £450–£950. Tree felling can range from £500–£1,800+ depending on complexity. Stump removal is usually £120–£450. We’ll confirm after a site visit and risk assessment.
Many pruning jobs take 2–5 hours, while a crown reduction or controlled felling is often completed in a day. Larger trees, restricted access in terrace gardens, or the need for sectional dismantling can extend work to 1–2 days. Stump grinding is commonly 30–90 minutes per stump, depending on diameter and root flare. We’ll provide a realistic schedule and keep disruption to a minimum.
Most routine tree maintenance on private land doesn’t need permission, but restrictions can apply. In Lewisham, trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require notice or consent before pruning or felling. We’ll ask the right questions, help check the status, and can supply supporting information for applications. Emergency works for immediate danger are handled with appropriate records.
