From mature street trees near Camberwell Green to compact rear gardens around Denmark Hill station, tree work in SE5 often needs a careful, measured approach. Fine Landscaping provides professional tree felling, crown reduction, pruning, stump removal and hedge work tailored to local homes. We can also produce tree reports for homeowners, landlords and managing agents. If a limb has failed in high winds, our emergency call-out service helps make the area safe quickly.
Camberwell’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces frequently have narrow side returns, shared boundaries and established planting that can’t be disturbed. We’re used to working around conservatories, garden studios and modern apartment courtyards where access is limited and neighbours are close by. Our team plans rigging and lowering techniques to protect fences, patios and planting beds. For new gardens, we also offer tree planting to suit light levels and long-term growth.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, targets and access, then explain the options in plain English. All work is carried out by trained, fully insured arborists using appropriate equipment and safe working methods. We protect surfaces, manage arisings responsibly, and leave your garden tidy with clear aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As tree contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we factor in conservation areas, TPO checks and practical site constraints before work begins. Camberwell streets can mean controlled parking and limited loading space, so we plan arrival times and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many gardens sit behind terraces with narrow access, so we use compact kit and careful lowering to protect walls and paving. We also adapt pruning and planting choices to urban conditions and sheltered courtyards.

Many jobs in SE5 are completed in half a day to a full day, such as pruning a small-to-medium tree or grinding a single stump. Larger fells, multiple trees, or complex crown reductions can take 1–3 days, especially with restricted access behind Victorian terraces. Timescales depend on tree size, rigging needs, proximity to buildings, and whether a council check is required. We confirm duration and start dates before booking.
Often, routine pruning and garden tree work is permitted, but there are important exceptions. If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area, you may need consent or to give notice before work starts. Southwark also has rules around nesting birds and wildlife. We help you identify constraints, check protections where possible, and can advise on the correct application route before any cutting begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that the work has been carried out properly and to an agreed specification. This covers issues linked to our workmanship, such as incomplete removal where specified or poor finishing around a stump grind area. It doesn’t cover natural events like storms, future tree growth changes, disease, or third-party damage. We’ll explain what’s included in writing with your quote.
We tailor the approach to your goals and the tree’s long-term health. Popular options include crown reduction for light and clearance, crown lifting over paths or parking, formative pruning for young trees, and deadwood removal for safety. For planting, we can recommend species suited to smaller Southwark gardens, such as Amelanchier, Acer or ornamental pear, plus staking and aftercare. Hedge work includes reduction, shaping and renovation cuts where appropriate.
