From mature trees near Streatham Common to tight rear gardens off Streatham High Road, tree work here often needs careful planning and controlled lowering. Fine Landscaping provides qualified tree contractors for tree felling, pruning, crown reduction and stump removal. We also cover hedge work, tree planting and emergency call-outs when storms cause damage. If you’re in SW16 or SW2, we can usually be on-site quickly.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and modern apartments bring a mix of shared boundaries, narrow side returns and limited parking. We’re used to working in Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale where access can be restricted and neighbours are close. That’s why we favour tidy, low-impact methods and clear communication before any cuts are made. For larger properties around Streatham Park, we can plan phased works to keep gardens usable.
We start with a site survey, discuss your goals (light, clearance, safety or shape), then provide a written scope and waste-removal plan. Our teams work to current best practice, use appropriate rigging where needed, and leave paths, lawns and borders clean. You’ll get practical aftercare advice, and we can supply tree reports for insurers, buyers or managing agents. Local homeowners trust us because we’re punctual, insured and consistent about quality.
As tree contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we’re familiar with common constraints like on-street parking, controlled lowering over conservatories, and shared access paths. Gardens around Rookery Gardens and Streatham Common often have mature specimens needing sensitive reductions rather than heavy cuts. We plan around school-run traffic on main routes and arrange chipper placement to keep pavements clear. Our approach suits both compact terraces and larger plots found across SW16 and SW2.

Costs vary by height, access, waste volume and whether rigging is required. As a guide, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, while crown reductions commonly fall between £350–£900. Tree felling can range from £450–£1,800+ depending on size and proximity to buildings. Stump removal is typically £120–£450 per stump. We’ll confirm a fixed price after a site visit.
Many jobs in Streatham take half a day to a full day, such as pruning, hedge reductions or a straightforward stump grind. Larger fells or complex crown reductions can take 1–2 days, especially in tight gardens where material must be carried through the house or a side passage. Timescales depend on access, traffic/parking for equipment, the amount of timber, and whether a tree report or neighbour coordination is needed.
Often, routine pruning and garden tree work doesn’t need permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees can be protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or be within a conservation area, which may require consent or a formal notice period. If you’re unsure, we’ll help check the status with the London Borough of Lambeth before starting. We’ll also advise on boundary responsibilities and any access agreements.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the service, such as the quality of pruning cuts, completion to the specified scope, and reinstatement where included. It doesn’t cover future storm damage, disease progression, or issues caused by third-party work after we leave. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to inspect and put it right promptly. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing.
For planting, popular choices include multi-stem ornamental trees, pleached screening trees, and native species suited to Lambeth gardens. For pruning, we can shape for light, clearance, or long-term structure, including crown reduction and formative pruning. Hedge work ranges from height reductions to renovation cuts and regular maintenance. We’ll recommend options based on space, soil, privacy needs, and how much ongoing upkeep you want.
