Denmark Hill’s mature street trees and compact gardens often need skilled, controlled work. We support homeowners and managing agents near Denmark Hill station and around King’s College Hospital with everything from pruning to full tree felling. Whether you’re dealing with overhanging branches, storm damage or a new planting scheme, our team works cleanly and efficiently. We also provide clear tree reports when you need documentation for neighbours, insurers or property sales.
Local properties range from Victorian terraces and Georgian houses to purpose-built flats, each with different access and risk considerations. Rear gardens off Camberwell roads can be narrow, while homes closer to Herne Hill often have taller trees and established hedges. We plan lifting, rigging and waste removal to suit tight side returns, shared alleyways and communal gardens. If you’re a landlord or resident association, we can schedule works to minimise disruption.
Every job starts with a site assessment and a written plan covering safety, drop zones and protection for lawns, paving and borders. Our arborists are fully insured, use professional equipment, and leave the area swept and cleared with all arisings removed. You’ll get straightforward advice on what to cut, what to keep, and when to replant for long-term structure. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when promised, communicate clearly, and deliver consistent results.
Working as tree contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to controlled removals near roads, rail lines and busy footpaths. Parking and access can be limited around SE5, so we plan loading, chipper placement and waste collection to reduce disruption. Many gardens sit behind terraces with narrow entrances, making rigging and careful lowering essential. We also check constraints such as conservation areas and TPOs before any major pruning or felling.

Costs depend on tree size, access, and whether rigging or traffic management is needed. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £180–£350, while crown reductions are commonly £350–£900. Tree felling can range from £450–£1,800+ for larger, constrained removals. Stump removal is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. We provide a site-specific quote after inspection.
Many pruning or hedge jobs take 2–4 hours, while a typical crown reduction or small felling is often completed within a day. Larger dismantles, multiple trees, or complex access (narrow side returns, shared paths, or no rear access) can take 1–3 days. Timescales also depend on nesting season checks, weather, and whether stump grinding and waste removal are included. We confirm timings before booking.
Often, routine pruning and garden tree work is permitted, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Southwark may require a formal application or notice period before certain works. We’ll advise what’s likely to be needed, check available records where possible, and can help you prepare the information required. Emergency safety works may be treated differently.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, giving you confidence that the work has been carried out correctly and to a professional standard. This covers issues arising from our installation or workmanship, such as problems linked to planting or remedial works we’ve completed. It doesn’t cover natural events like storms, drought, pests, or changes in ground conditions. We’ll explain what’s covered for your job in writing.
We tailor the approach to your garden and the tree species. Popular options include formative pruning for young trees, crown thinning for improved airflow, crown reduction to manage height, and careful deadwood removal for safety. For hedges, we can shape formal lines, reduce height, or renovate overgrown sections. For planting, we’ll suggest suitable species for SE5 gardens, considering light levels, soil, and long-term maintenance.
