From mature street trees to compact rear gardens, Oval needs careful, controlled tree care. Our team works across SE11, including routes around The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station, where access and timing matter. We handle everything from crown reduction and pruning to full tree felling and stump removal. If a storm-damaged limb is posing a risk, we can arrange an emergency call-out and make the site safe quickly.
Much of the local housing stock is Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats, often with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. That means tree work must be planned to protect neighbouring fences, conservatories and period brickwork. We regularly support homeowners in Kennington, Vauxhall and Stockwell with hedge work, shaping and clearance that keeps light levels balanced. Where planting is needed, we recommend species suited to smaller plots and urban conditions.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, risks and the best method of work, then provide a written scope and clear options. Our arborists use modern rigging and controlled lowering to minimise disturbance, and we leave paths, lawns and patios clean and usable. Waste is removed promptly, and we can grind stumps below ground level to make way for replanting. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and dependable aftercare.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often involves controlled access, resident parking rules and narrow side returns. We plan loading, chipper placement and waste removal to suit SE11 streets and mansion flat blocks. Many gardens sit close to buildings and boundary walls, so we use rope systems and careful lowering to prevent damage. If a tree is protected, we help you navigate the checks before work begins.

Costs vary by tree size, access and whether waste removal is included. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reductions for medium trees are commonly £350–£850. Tree felling with sectional dismantling may range from £600–£1,800+. Stump removal by grinding is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and access. We confirm pricing after a site survey in SE11.
Many pruning or hedge jobs are completed within half a day, while larger crown reductions often take a full day. Sectional tree felling in tight gardens can run from one day to two days, especially where rigging and careful lowering are required. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access, parking/loading, waste volume and whether multiple trees are being handled in one visit.
Most routine tree work on private property can be carried out without formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, where you may need consent or must give notice before work begins. We check the relevant Lambeth records as part of our process and advise on the correct route, including supporting information where required.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering issues caused by our installation or finishing work (for example, problems related to stump grinding reinstatement or newly planted trees when maintained as advised). Tree biology and extreme weather can affect outcomes, so we also give clear aftercare guidance and realistic expectations for regrowth. If anything doesn’t look right, we’ll inspect and put it right promptly.
We can plant new trees, reshape existing crowns, and set up a maintenance plan that suits your garden and light levels. Popular options include pleached screening trees, small ornamental varieties for compact plots, and native species for wildlife. For existing trees, we offer crown reduction, thinning and formative pruning, plus hedge cutting and renovation. We’ll recommend species and pruning cycles based on soil, aspect, and how you use the space.
