From tight rear gardens near New Cross station to larger plots by Telegraph Hill, tree work in SE14 often needs a precise approach. Our team carries out tree felling, crown reduction and pruning to improve safety, light levels and shape. We also provide stump removal, hedge work and tree planting to refresh tired borders. If you’ve got storm damage or a fallen limb, we offer an emergency call-out.
New Cross has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, where access can be narrow and neighbours are close. We plan rigging and lowering techniques to protect fences, sheds and paving, and we keep disruption minimal. Whether you’re in Deptford, Brockley or near Deptford Park, we tailor the job to the space available. Our advice focuses on long-term tree health, not quick fixes.
We start with a site visit to assess condition, risks and your goals, then recommend the right specification—pruning, crown reduction, removal or planting. Work is carried out by trained professionals with the right equipment, and we leave the garden tidy with all arisings removed or chipped if you prefer. If you need paperwork, we can produce tree reports for homeowners, landlords and managing agents. Many local clients choose us for clear communication, punctuality and careful workmanship.
As tree contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to narrow access, controlled lowering, and considerate working near terraced homes. Parking and loading can be limited around SE14, so we schedule efficiently and bring the right kit to reduce trips and noise. We also factor in local soil conditions and drainage when recommending tree planting or stump removal. If permissions or protections apply, we help you navigate the checks before work starts.

Costs in New Cross vary with tree size, access, and whether waste removal or stump grinding is included. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reductions for medium trees commonly fall in the £350–£850 range. Sectional felling can be £650–£1,800+ depending on complexity and proximity to buildings. Stump removal is typically £120–£450 per stump.
Many pruning and hedge work jobs in SE14 take half a day to a full day, depending on height and the amount of material to remove. A straightforward small tree removal may be completed in a day, while larger sectional dismantles can take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales change with access through terraced houses, parking, and whether a tree report is required.
Most routine tree maintenance is permitted, but restrictions can apply if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Lewisham also expects proper notice for certain works where protections apply. We’ll ask for the address, check the likely constraints, and advise what paperwork is needed before starting. If approval is required, we can help you prepare the specification to support an application.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable (for example, issues arising from incorrect execution of agreed works). For tree planting, we also advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance visits to improve establishment success. The warranty doesn’t cover storm events, third-party damage, or problems caused by changes in ground conditions outside our control. You’ll receive a clear written scope so expectations are straightforward.
We can plant a range of sizes—from whips to semi-mature trees—depending on budget and access, and recommend species suited to New Cross gardens and neighbouring properties. Popular options include ornamental trees for small spaces, screening trees for privacy, and pollinator-friendly choices. For shaping, we offer formative pruning, crown thinning, and crown reduction where appropriate. We’ll help you balance light, leaf drop, root considerations and long-term maintenance costs.
