From Catford Broadway to Mountsfield Park, mature trees are a big part of what makes SE6 feel green. When branches overhang roofs, block light, or become unsafe in high winds, you need qualified help—not guesswork. Fine Landscaping provides professional tree felling, crown reduction, pruning and stump removal with a focus on safety and clean finishes. We also carry out hedge work and emergency call-outs when storms cause damage.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties often means compact rear gardens, shared boundaries and tricky access. That’s where local experience matters: we plan lifts, rigging and waste removal to minimise disruption to neighbours and parked cars. If you’re in Hither Green, Bellingham or Grove Park, we’ll tailor the approach to your garden layout and nearby structures. For new planting, we’ll recommend species that suit light levels and space, not just what looks good on day one.
We start with a site visit and a clear, written scope of works, including what will be removed, reduced or retained. Our team works to current safety standards, uses professional equipment, and leaves paths and lawns clean once the job is done. Where needed, we can provide tree reports for peace of mind or property matters. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, arrive when we say we will, and take responsibility for the details.
As tree contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to narrow side access, controlled parking and gardens close to neighbours. We plan waste removal and chipper positioning to keep disruption down, especially on busier roads near Catford Broadway. Many plots have established trees near extensions and outbuildings, so we use sectional dismantling where needed. If a tree may be protected, we’ll help check constraints before any cutting starts.

Costs vary by size, access and whether waste and stump grinding are included. As a guide in SE6, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350. Crown reductions for medium trees are commonly £350–£850. Full removals can range from £600–£2,000+, especially with rigging near buildings. Stump removal is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and location. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward pruning or hedge work is completed in half a day. Crown reduction on a medium tree usually takes 3–6 hours, while a full dismantle can take a full day or more if access is tight. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump, but longer for large roots or restricted positions. Timescales depend on tree size, proximity to buildings, waste removal needs and any council checks.
Many garden tree works don’t need formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area, which may require consent or a notification period before work starts. As part of our process, we can help check whether restrictions apply and advise on the correct route. If urgent safety work is needed, we’ll document the issue and proceed appropriately.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on applicable works, covering issues caused by poor installation or incorrect practice (for example, problems linked to newly planted trees or agreed aftercare tasks). Natural factors—such as extreme weather, pests, disease, or pre-existing structural defects in the tree—aren’t covered, but we’ll always explain the risks beforehand. You’ll receive written confirmation of what’s included for your job.
We offer formative pruning for young trees, sympathetic crown reductions to improve light, and selective thinning to reduce wind loading while keeping a natural shape. For planting, popular options include ornamental cherries, amelanchier, rowan and smaller acers for tighter Catford gardens, plus native hedging for boundaries. We’ll advise on species choice, spacing and aftercare based on shade, soil conditions and how you use the garden. Waste can be removed, logged, or chipped for mulch.
