East Dulwich’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have compact rear gardens and shared access, so planning matters. We’re used to working around side returns, narrow passages and neighbouring boundaries, keeping disruption low. Many local gardens feature mature fruit trees, ornamental cherries and established hedging that benefit from careful pruning rather than heavy cutting. We tailor each job to the tree’s species, age and position, not a one-size approach.
We start with a site visit to assess structure, targets (sheds, conservatories, fences) and safe drop zones, then agree a clear scope. Our team works to recognised arboricultural standards, uses professional rigging where needed, and leaves the site clean with all arisings removed or chipped as requested. You’ll get straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and a written guarantee. Homeowners choose us because we’re meticulous, fully insured, and consistent on quality.
In the tree contractors east dulwich area, access and parking can be the biggest challenge, especially near Dulwich Park and busy stretches of Lordship Lane. We plan loading, chipper placement and waste removal to minimise obstruction and keep neighbours onside. Southwark’s mix of mature street trees and protected specimens means checks matter, so we advise on constraints before work starts. Our methods suit smaller period gardens as well as larger plots around Dulwich Village and Herne Hill.

Costs vary by size, access and whether rigging or traffic management is needed. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reduction on a medium tree is commonly £350–£850. Tree felling can range from £450–£1,500+ depending on complexity and proximity to buildings. Stump removal is typically £120–£400 per stump. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Many pruning or hedge jobs in SE22 can be completed in half a day, while crown reductions and straightforward fells often take a full day. Larger dismantles, multiple trees, or difficult access (narrow side passages and no rear entry) can extend works to 2–3 days. Time also depends on waste removal, stump grinding, and whether you want logs retained. We’ll confirm timings and arrival windows in advance.
Most routine pruning and garden tree work is permitted, but restrictions can apply if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Rules can also affect the extent and timing of works, particularly for major reductions or felling. We can check the relevant Southwark records and advise what’s needed before starting. If an application is required, we’ll help with the information and supporting details.
