If you need reliable arborists near Shortlands station, we deliver careful tree work that suits established gardens and mature street trees. Our team handles everything from pruning and crown reduction to full tree felling and stump removal. We regularly work across BR2, including nearby Bromley and Beckenham. Where required, we can also provide clear, professional tree reports for homeowners and managing agents.
Shortlands features large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and many 1930s properties, often with generous rear gardens and long side access. That mix brings common challenges: overhanging canopies, shading, root pressure near patios, and hedges that need structured trimming. As experienced tree contractors Shortlands area residents can rely on, we tailor the approach to each plot, boundary and neighbour relationship. We also advise on suitable tree planting where space, light and soil conditions allow.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, targets, access and safe drop zones, then agree a clear scope of works. All cutting is carried out with modern equipment, tidy arisings removal, and optional stump grinding to below ground level. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices, and full insurance for peace of mind. Many clients choose us again because we’re punctual, careful around lawns and borders, and consistent with clean finishes.
Working across the London Borough of Bromley means dealing with mature trees, tight driveway access and considerate parking on residential roads. Near places like Shortlands Golf Club, we often plan rigging and sectional dismantles to protect fences, sheds and neighbouring gardens. We also account for mixed soil conditions and established planting beds typical of period homes. As tree contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we can advise on sensible pruning cycles to reduce future risk and cost.

Costs vary by size, access and risk. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350. Crown reductions for medium trees are commonly £350–£750, while larger or complex dismantles can be £800–£2,000+. Stump removal by grinding is usually £120–£350 depending on diameter and depth. Emergency call-outs may carry a premium, especially out of hours.
Many jobs are completed within half a day to a full day, such as hedge work, pruning or a straightforward crown reduction. Larger fells, sectional dismantles, or multiple trees can take one to three days. Timescales depend on access (side gates, drive width), proximity to buildings and cables, and whether waste removal and stump grinding are included. We’ll confirm an estimated duration after the site survey.
Often, routine pruning and garden tree work is permitted, but restrictions can apply if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Bromley Council rules may require notice or formal consent before certain works. We’ll help you check protections, advise on the correct approach, and can support with documentation where needed. We never proceed with controlled works without approval.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the work, such as the standard of cutting, site reinstatement and completion to specification. Natural factors outside our control—like extreme weather, hidden decay, or subsequent third-party damage—aren’t covered. For planting, we can also advise on aftercare to improve establishment and reduce losses. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We offer crown reduction, crown lifting, thinning, formative pruning for young trees, and targeted deadwood removal. For planting, popular choices include small ornamental trees for front gardens, screening trees for privacy, and native species for wildlife value. Hedge work ranges from light trims to reductions and reshaping. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, soil, property style and long-term maintenance, then schedule work around nesting and seasonal growth.
