From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we deliver practical, safety-led arboriculture across SE15. We’re regularly working near Peckham Rye Park and around Queen’s Road, where mature trees can quickly outgrow small gardens. Whether you need crown reduction to bring in light or a full tree felling plan, we keep disruption low and neighbours informed. All waste is removed and the site is left tidy.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often means tight side access, shared boundaries and sensitive planting beds. In Nunhead and East Dulwich, we commonly see mature fruit trees, bay, sycamore and lime needing structured pruning to reduce weight and improve shape. We tailor methods to protect paving, lawns and period garden features. If you’re renovating, we can also advise on tree planting to suit the space and long-term maintenance.
We start with a site visit and a clear written quote, then schedule work around parking and access constraints. Our team uses modern rigging and lowering techniques to control every cut, with a strong focus on safety and clean-up. You’ll get straightforward recommendations, not upselling, plus documentation where needed (including tree reports). Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, respectful working practices and consistent results.
As experienced tree contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to narrow streets, permit parking and limited turning space for equipment. Gardens around Camberwell and the Peckham Library area often have compact layouts, so we plan lowering zones and chipper positioning carefully. We also check for conservation areas and Tree Preservation Orders before work starts. Where access is restricted, we use smaller kit and staged removals to keep everything controlled.

Costs depend on tree size, access, waste removal and whether rigging is needed. As a guide in Peckham, small pruning jobs often start around £180–£350, while crown reductions commonly fall between £350–£850. Tree felling and sectional dismantles are typically £650–£2,000+. Stump removal by grinding is often £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Many pruning visits take 1–3 hours, while a crown reduction or hedge work is often half a day. A straightforward small tree felling can be completed in a few hours, but dismantling a larger tree in a tight SE15 garden may take a full day or more. Timescales change with access, proximity to buildings, waste volume, nesting checks and whether stump grinding is included. We confirm duration when quoting.
Most routine tree maintenance on private property doesn’t need planning permission, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Southwark may require an application or notice period before certain works. We’ll ask for the address, check the relevant constraints, and advise on the correct route before booking. If paperwork is needed, we can support with specifications and tree reports.
