Chelsea gardens often balance mature trees with tight boundaries and busy streets. We provide tree felling, pruning, crown reduction, stump removal and hedge work, planned to minimise disruption. From properties near King’s Road to gardens close to Stamford Bridge, we work cleanly and respectfully. We also produce clear tree reports when you need documentation for insurers, neighbours or property sales.
Homeowners in SW3 and SW10 typically want tree work that protects period features and keeps outdoor space usable. Georgian townhouses and Victorian mansions often have established specimens that need careful reduction rather than heavy cutting. Luxury apartments and mews homes can bring restricted access, shared gardens and strict management requirements. Our team is used to working around delicate paving, lighting, irrigation and high-end planting schemes.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, access, and any risk to buildings or boundaries. You’ll get a clear scope of works, waste removal plan and honest recommendations, including tree planting where replacement is best. We use professional rigging and modern equipment to keep the job controlled and tidy, and we leave the site clean. Clients choose us for reliable scheduling, strong communication and consistent workmanship.
Chelsea access can be challenging, with narrow mews, controlled parking and limited drop zones. We plan loading, chipper placement and waste removal to suit Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea restrictions and busy streets. Many gardens sit close to party walls and basements, so we use careful sectional dismantling when felling is required. If you’re in South Kensington, Fulham, Pimlico or Knightsbridge, we’ll tailor the approach to your property and access.

Costs vary by tree size, access, and whether waste removal and stump grinding are included. In Chelsea, small pruning jobs often fall around £180–£450, while crown reductions on medium trees may be £450–£950. Sectional felling in restricted gardens can be £900–£2,500+. Stump removal typically ranges from £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. We provide a site-specific quote after inspection.
Many pruning and hedge work visits take 2–4 hours, while a crown reduction or small tree removal is often completed within a day. Larger dismantles, multiple trees, or complex rigging near buildings can take 1–3 days. Timescales depend on access (mews/communal gardens), parking and loading distance, the amount of waste to remove, and whether a stump needs grinding. We confirm timings before booking.
You don’t usually need permission for routine pruning on privately owned trees, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, where notice or consent may be required before cutting. We check the relevant constraints and advise on the correct process, including supporting information for applications. If urgent work is needed for safety, we’ll document the situation appropriately.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the agreed scope, giving you confidence that the job has been completed to a high standard. This covers issues arising from our installation or execution, such as poor finishing or avoidable damage caused by our methods. It does not cover future storm events, natural tree movement, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing.
We can recommend and supply suitable trees for Chelsea gardens, from multi-stem ornamentals to pleached screening trees and compact species for courtyards. Popular choices include Amelanchier, Acer, Magnolia, hornbeam and olive (site-dependent). We’ll advise on root space, light levels, privacy goals and maintenance commitment, then carry out planting, staking and aftercare guidance. Ongoing options include formative pruning, hedge shaping and seasonal health checks.
