From overgrown crowns to storm-damaged limbs, we deliver expert tree care across Paddington and W2. Homeowners near Paddington station and Little Venice rely on us for careful pruning, tree felling and responsive emergency call-outs. We work to protect neighbouring gardens, parked cars and public footpaths. Every job starts with a practical assessment and a clear plan for safe removal or improvement.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments often means compact rear gardens, shared boundaries and restricted access. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, communal courtyards and mature trees that sit close to buildings. Whether you’re in Bayswater, Maida Vale or close to Hyde Park, we tailor methods to the site and the tree species. If you need a tree report for management companies or sales, we can provide clear documentation.
We plan each visit to minimise disruption, including waste removal and thorough clean-up. Our team uses professional equipment and safe rigging methods where sectional dismantling is required. You’ll get straightforward recommendations—crown reduction, pruning, hedge work, stump removal or replanting—based on long-term tree health. Many clients choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working practices and consistent results.
Working in the City of Westminster often involves controlled parking, narrow mews access and strict consideration for neighbours. Around Paddington Basin and Marylebone, we regularly plan for limited drop zones and protect hard landscaping and façades. We can advise on likely constraints such as conservation areas and TPOs, and we’ll help with the checks before work begins. Our approach keeps sites safe and tidy, even where access is shared.

Costs vary with tree size, access and whether waste removal is included. In Paddington, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reductions commonly fall between £350–£900. Sectional felling near buildings is usually £750–£2,500+. Stump removal is often £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Emergency call-outs can add a premium, especially out of hours.
Many pruning visits in the Paddington area are completed in 2–4 hours, while a larger crown reduction or hedge overhaul may take most of a day. Sectional felling with rigging typically takes 1–2 days depending on height, spread and obstacles. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales are influenced by access, parking, proximity to buildings and the amount of brash and timber to remove.
You don’t usually need planning permission for routine pruning on privately owned trees, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area, which is common in parts of Westminster. If permission or notice is required, we’ll help you identify it and guide you through the process. For urgent safety issues, emergency works may be permitted with evidence.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, giving you confidence that the job has been completed to a high standard. This covers issues arising from our workmanship, such as agreed cuts, clearance and site reinstatement. It doesn’t cover future storm damage, tree disease, or natural movement and growth, but we’ll always explain aftercare and provide practical maintenance advice.
We can recommend formative pruning for young trees, crown thinning to reduce sail, or crown reduction to manage height and spread. For planting, popular choices include multi-stem trees for screening, pleached trees for privacy, and smaller ornamental species suited to courtyard gardens. We also offer hedge shaping and renovation pruning. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, space, soil conditions and the look you want long-term.
