Trees shape the skyline around Crystal Palace Park and the streets of Upper Norwood, but they can quickly outgrow their space. Our team handles everything from careful pruning and crown reduction to full tree felling when removal is the safest option. If you’re near the Crystal Palace transmitter or along SE19, we plan each job to minimise disruption and protect nearby structures. All arisings are cleared, leaving your garden clean and usable.
Crystal Palace homes often include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions with mature gardens and tight side access. In Anerley and Penge, we regularly manage boundary trees, hedge lines and overhanging limbs that affect light and neighbouring properties. We’re used to working over conservatories, sheds and shared driveways, using rigging and controlled lowering where needed. Whether it’s a single ornamental tree or a long hedge run, we tailor the approach to your plot and layout.
You’ll get a clear site assessment, a written scope of works, and a safe method that prioritises people, property and wildlife. Our arborists arrive with the right equipment for climbing, dismantling and stump grinding, and we keep you informed throughout. Homeowners choose us because we’re punctual, tidy, fully insured and consistent in finish. If you need documentation, we also provide tree reports to support sales, disputes or planned works.
Crystal Palace sits across several council boundaries, so rules can vary between the London Borough of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. We’re familiar with narrow roads, resident parking controls and limited front access typical of SE19 and SE20. Many gardens are on slopes, so we plan rigging, chipper placement and waste removal carefully. Our team adapts to period property constraints while keeping neighbours and pavements safe.

Costs depend on tree size, access, risk, and whether waste removal is included. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reductions commonly fall between £350–£900. Tree felling and sectional dismantles are typically £600–£2,000+ depending on complexity. Stump removal is usually £120–£450 per stump. We provide a site visit and written estimate before booking.
Many pruning or hedge jobs are completed in 2–4 hours, with larger crown reductions often taking half a day. Straightforward felling can be done in a day, while dismantling a large tree near buildings may take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales change with access, parking distance, tree condition, and whether you need logs retained or full waste removal.
Most routine tree work doesn’t require planning permission, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Because Crystal Palace spans Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, the checks vary by address. We can help identify protections, advise on the right application route, and ensure work is scheduled only once approvals are in place where required.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the service, covering defects caused by poor workmanship or incorrect execution of the specified scope. Tree biology and extreme weather can’t be guaranteed, but we do guarantee safe, professional practice and a tidy finish. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to inspect and put it right in line with the original specification and site conditions.
We offer formative pruning for young trees, crown lifting for clearance, crown reduction for size control, and selective thinning to improve light and airflow. For planting, popular choices include small ornamental trees for front gardens, multi-stems for screening, and native species for wildlife. Hedge work includes reductions, reshaping and renovation cuts where appropriate. We’ll recommend options based on soil, aspect, space, and how you want the garden to look year-round.
