From Priory Gardens to the streets around Orpington station, trees add value but can quickly become a risk if they’re overgrown or storm-damaged. Our team carries out tree felling, crown reduction and pruning with safety-first methods and careful control of falling sections. We also provide stump removal and hedge work to restore light and usable space. If you need urgent help after high winds, our emergency call-out gets the site made safe quickly.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, larger detached houses and modern estates often means mature boundary trees, tight side access and gardens shared with neighbours. We’re used to working in BR5 and BR6 where driveways, garages and conservatories sit close to the canopy line. Whether you’re in Petts Wood or St Mary Cray, we plan reductions to keep trees balanced and appropriate for the setting. For new planting, we’ll recommend species that suit garden size and long-term maintenance.
We start with a site visit to assess condition, targets and access, then agree a clear scope and schedule. Work is carried out by trained, insured arborists using modern rigging and chipper equipment, with lawns and borders protected where possible. All arisings can be removed, and we leave paths and patios swept and tidy. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable timings and professional tree reports when they’re needed for peace of mind or property matters.
As tree contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we’re familiar with the access challenges of 1930s plots and newer cul-de-sacs. Parking can be limited near the High Street and The Walnuts Shopping Centre, so we plan vehicle positioning and chipper use to minimise disruption. We also consider local soil and drainage when planting or recommending species. If permissions or constraints apply, we’ll advise before any cutting starts.

Costs vary with tree size, access and whether lifting gear or traffic management is needed. As a guide in Orpington, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reductions are commonly £350–£900. Tree felling can range from £450–£1,800 depending on complexity and proximity to buildings. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350 per stump. We provide a site-specific quote after inspection.
Many pruning visits take 1–3 hours, while a straightforward crown reduction is often completed in half a day. Larger dismantles or felling near structures can take a full day or more, especially if sections must be rigged down carefully. Stump removal usually takes 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on tree size, access through side gates, waste removal requirements and any nesting or weather constraints.
Most garden tree work is permitted, but some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, which can require consent before pruning or felling. Rules can also apply if the tree is on a boundary or affects neighbours. We’ll ask the right questions, check constraints where possible and advise on the correct application route. If urgent safety work is needed, we’ll explain the emergency provisions and documentation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the service, such as the standard of pruning cuts, completion of specified reductions, and reinstatement where included in the quote. Tree biology and extreme weather can’t be guaranteed, but we work to recognised arboricultural standards to reduce risk and encourage healthy regrowth. If something isn’t as agreed, we’ll return to inspect and put it right promptly.
For planting, popular options include smaller ornamental trees for front gardens, native species for wildlife, and screening trees for privacy. For pruning, we can carry out crown lifting for clearance, crown thinning for light, or crown reduction to manage height and spread while keeping a natural outline. Finishing options include full waste removal, log retention for firewood, and stump grinding to allow turfing or replanting. We’ll recommend the best approach for your garden and maintenance preferences.
