Response within 24 hours
From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we deliver practical arboricultural solutions across Nunhead and SE15. Homeowners near Nunhead Cemetery and Telegraph Hill Park often call us for crown reduction, pruning and hedge work that keeps gardens bright and manageable. If a tree is unsafe, we can carry out controlled tree felling with clear communication throughout. Emergency call-outs are available when weather causes sudden hazards.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often come with mature rear gardens and tight side access. That’s where experienced tree contractors Nunhead area residents can rely on makes a real difference. We plan lifting routes, protect paving and borders, and use the right kit for confined spaces. Whether you’re in Peckham, Brockley or East Dulwich, we tailor the approach to your plot and neighbours.
We start with a site visit, discuss your priorities, and provide a clear written quote before any cutting begins. Our team works safely, keeps disruption down, and leaves the site clean with arisings removed or chipped as requested. You’ll get honest advice on pruning cycles, replanting, and long-term tree health, plus support with tree reports when needed. Many clients choose us as tree contractors in London Borough of Southwark because we turn up on time and do the job properly.
Access in Nunhead can be challenging, with narrow streets, permit-controlled parking and shared driveways. We plan loading, chipper placement and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep paths clear. Gardens around Nunhead Green and the SE15 terraces often have established trees close to boundaries, so we use careful pruning cuts and rigging where required. We also help you navigate Southwark-specific constraints such as conservation areas and protected trees.

Costs depend on size, access and whether waste is removed. As a guide, light pruning or small tree work often starts around £180–£450. Crown reduction for medium trees is commonly £450–£950. Larger dismantles and tree felling can range from £900–£2,500+. Stump removal by grinding is typically £120–£450 per stump. Emergency call-outs may add a premium, especially out of hours.
Many pruning jobs are completed within half a day to one day, depending on the number of trees and the level of reduction. A straightforward small tree felling may take a few hours, while a larger dismantle in a tight Nunhead garden can take one to two days. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales are affected by access, neighbour proximity, nesting checks and waste removal requirements.
Often, routine pruning and maintenance doesn’t require permission, but there are important exceptions. If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area, you may need to apply or give notice to Southwark Council before work starts. Rules can also apply to trees on boundaries or shared access routes. We’ll ask the right questions, check constraints, and help with the paperwork so you stay compliant.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for agreed elements of the completed job, giving you added confidence. This covers issues arising from our installation or execution (for example, agreed planting work, staking, or specified remedial tasks). It doesn’t cover storm damage, future neglect, or natural tree decline, but we’ll always advise on aftercare to reduce risk. If something isn’t right, we put it right promptly.
We can advise on tree planting options suited to Nunhead gardens, including smaller ornamental trees, multi-stem varieties, and wildlife-friendly natives. For pruning, we offer crown reduction, crown lifting, formative pruning and deadwood removal, always aiming for a natural shape rather than harsh topping. For hedge work, we can maintain formal lines or softer, informal screening. We’ll recommend choices based on light levels, soil conditions, and how you use the space.
