From mature street trees near Herne Hill station to garden specimens backing onto Brockwell Park, trees in SE24 need careful, professional management. Fine Landscaping provides qualified tree contractors for pruning, crown reduction, tree felling and stump removal. We also offer emergency call-outs after storms and can produce tree reports when required. Every job is planned to protect your property, neighbours and surrounding planting.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have compact rear gardens and shared boundaries, so access and safeguarding are crucial. We’re used to tight side returns, delicate paving, and working close to conservatories and outbuildings. Whether you’re in Dulwich, Brixton or Tulse Hill, we tailor the method to the space available and the condition of the tree. The result is cleaner lines, better light, and reduced risk without over-cutting.
We start with a site visit to assess structure, health and targets, then agree a clear scope and schedule. Our team uses the right rigging and lowering techniques for controlled dismantles, and we leave the site tidy with waste removed or chipped as requested. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, arrive when we say we will, and work to high safety standards. Being around 15 minutes away means responsive bookings and dependable aftercare.
We regularly work as tree contractors Herne Hill area and understand the mix of Lambeth and Southwark boundaries. Parking and access can be restricted near the Sunday market and around SE24 side streets, so we plan equipment and timings to minimise disruption. Many gardens have clay-heavy ground and established planting, so we protect lawns and beds with mats and tidy haul routes. If council constraints apply, we’ll help you navigate the checks before work starts.

Costs vary by tree size, access and whether waste is removed. As a guide in SE24, small pruning jobs often start around £180–£350, while crown reductions on medium trees commonly fall between £450–£900. Sectional dismantling or felling near buildings can be £900–£2,500+. Stump removal is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. We’ll confirm after a site survey.
Most pruning or hedge work is completed within half a day, while a straightforward crown reduction is often a single-day job. Complex dismantles can take 1–2 days, especially with limited access behind Victorian terraces or where rigging is needed. Stump grinding usually takes 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on tree height, condition, proximity to structures, and whether you want logs or woodchip retained.
Many routine works such as pruning, crown reduction and removing deadwood don’t require formal permission, but protected trees may. In Lambeth/Southwark, Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and conservation area rules can apply, and you may need to submit a notice or application before work begins. We’ll help check constraints, advise on what’s allowed, and can provide supporting details for applications. Emergency safety work may be treated differently.
