From riverside gardens near Kingston Bridge to busy streets by the Bentall Centre, trees in Kingston need expert care to stay safe and attractive. Fine Landscaping provides professional tree felling, crown reduction, pruning, and stump removal tailored to your space. We also take on hedge work and tree planting to reshape overgrown gardens or improve privacy. If a storm has caused damage, our emergency call-out service gets things under control quickly.
The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses, and modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and tree constraints. We regularly work in KT1 and KT2 where gardens can be long, narrow, or shared with neighbouring boundaries. Whether you’re managing a mature tree shading a period property or keeping a compact courtyard tree in shape, we plan the job to protect paving, lawns, fences, and planted borders. Our team brings the right kit for confined side access and sensitive finishes.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment, and a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what’s included. Work is carried out by trained, fully insured arborists, with careful lowering techniques where space is tight and thorough clean-up as standard. We can provide tree reports for homeowners, landlords, or pre-purchase peace of mind. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship, and straightforward advice that prioritises safety and tree health.
Kingston streets often involve limited parking, narrow side access, and close neighbouring boundaries, so we plan lifting, chipping and removal to minimise disruption. Riverside areas can mean softer ground after rain, so we protect lawns and prevent rutting with boards where needed. We’re familiar with working around shared driveways and rear access common to older housing stock. If permissions or constraints apply, we’ll help you navigate the checks before work begins.

Costs vary by tree size, access, waste removal and whether climbing or a MEWP is required. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350. Crown reduction for medium trees is commonly £350–£900. Tree felling and removal can range from £500–£2,000+, especially for large trees near buildings. Stump grinding is usually £120–£400 depending on diameter and location.
Many pruning jobs are completed in 2–6 hours, while a straightforward small tree removal can take half a day. Larger dismantles near structures may take 1–2 days, particularly if sections must be lowered carefully and waste carried through the property. Stump grinding often takes 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access, tree condition, nesting checks, and whether you want logs/woodchip retained.
Most routine pruning and tree work on private land 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 of pruning or whether felling is allowed. We’ll ask the right questions, help check constraints with the council where needed, and ensure applications/notifications are handled correctly before any work starts.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the work, such as the standard of cutting, site reinstatement, and any planting carried out as part of the job. As trees are living organisms, future growth and weather-related damage can’t be guaranteed, but we always work to best arboricultural practice. If an issue relates to our workmanship, we’ll return to put it right.
We offer crown reductions, crown lifting, formative pruning for young trees, and sympathetic thinning to improve light without over-cutting. For planting, popular choices include ornamental cherries, crab apples, birch, and small native species suited to compact gardens. We can also recommend hedge options for screening and carry out seasonal maintenance. We’ll assess your soil, light levels and space, then suggest a plan that fits your property and long-term upkeep.
