From mature garden oaks to boundary hedges, Chislehurst properties often need careful tree management. We work across BR7, including around Chislehurst Common and near Chislehurst Caves, delivering tidy, safety-first results. Whether it’s pruning for more light, a controlled tree felling, or a detailed tree report, our team plans each job around your garden and neighbours. You’ll get straightforward recommendations and a clear schedule before we start.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties frequently have established trees close to buildings, driveways and conservatories. That calls for precise crown reduction and sectional dismantling rather than heavy-handed cutting. We also support nearby households in Elmstead, Mottingham and Sidcup where access can be tighter and boundaries are shared. Our tree contractors chislehurst area service is built for these real-world constraints, keeping disruption low and standards high.
We begin with an on-site assessment, identifying targets, access routes and any hazards such as deadwood or weak unions. Work is carried out by qualified arborists using modern rigging and lowering techniques, followed by full clearance of arisings and optional stump grinding. For planting, we advise on species choice, spacing and aftercare to suit your soil and light levels. Homeowners choose us for punctuality, transparent paperwork, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Bromley means considering protected trees, conservation areas and practical access. Many Chislehurst driveways are narrow with limited turning space, so we plan chipper placement and removal runs to keep roads clear. Gardens near Chislehurst Common can have mature root systems and shaded borders, affecting planting choices and stump grinding depth. We liaise with local requirements and adjust methods to suit period plots and established boundaries.

Costs vary with height, access, risk and waste removal. In BR7, light pruning is often £150–£350, while crown reduction typically falls around £350–£900 depending on size and complexity. Tree felling can range from £450–£1,800, especially where sectional dismantling and rigging are needed. Stump removal is commonly £120–£450 per stump. Emergency call-outs may add a premium for rapid response.
Most pruning and small hedge jobs are completed in 1–3 hours. A standard crown reduction or medium tree removal often takes half a day, while large dismantles can take a full day or more, particularly near buildings or overhead lines. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access for equipment, volume of arisings, weather, and whether traffic or neighbour coordination is required.
Often, routine pruning on private land doesn’t need permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or fall within a conservation area, where notice or consent may be required before work begins. Rules can also apply to trees on boundaries or near highways. We check the relevant constraints, advise on the correct route, and can support with the information needed for Bromley processes.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of the work we carry out, such as correct pruning cuts, safe dismantling methods, and reinstatement where agreed. For tree planting, we provide clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance visits to support establishment. The warranty does not cover damage caused by extreme weather, third-party interference, or pre-existing tree defects outside the agreed scope.
We tailor the approach to your goals and the tree’s condition. Popular options include crown reduction to manage size, crown lifting for clearance over paths and driveways, and selective thinning to improve light without changing the outline. For planting, we can recommend native or ornamental species suited to your garden and privacy needs. Hedge work ranges from formal shaping to renovation cuts, with advice on timing and ongoing maintenance.
