Response within 24 hours
From overgrown crowns to storm-damaged limbs, our arborists handle tree work with safety and precision across SE26. We regularly work near Sydenham Wells Park and around Forest Hill, where mature gardens often need sensitive pruning. Whether you need tree felling, crown reduction, or hedge work, we keep disruption low and leave the site spotless. Emergency call-outs are available when a tree becomes a risk.
Sydenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have established trees close to boundaries, conservatories and neighbouring gardens. That means careful rigging, controlled dismantling and clear communication with neighbours when required. As trusted tree contractors Sydenham area homeowners rely on, we tailor the method to access, garden layout and the condition of the tree. We also advise on tree planting to suit light levels and long-term growth.
We start with a site visit to assess species, structure, targets and access, then provide a clear written quote. Work is carried out by trained professionals using modern equipment, with all arisings removed and the area left tidy. If needed, we can supply tree reports for insurers, sales, or peace-of-mind. With a base only 20 minutes away, you get responsive scheduling and dependable aftercare.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to narrow side access, shared driveways and on-street parking restrictions. Gardens around Lower Sydenham and Bell Green can have limited turning space, so we plan equipment and waste removal accordingly. We also consider nearby woodland habitats such as Sydenham Hill Wood when advising on pruning and planting choices. If permissions or protected status apply, we help you navigate the checks before work starts.

Costs depend on tree size, access, and whether work is at height or near buildings. As a guide in Sydenham, small pruning jobs often start around £150–£350, crown reductions commonly fall between £350–£900, and sectional felling is typically £600–£2,000+. Stump removal is often £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Many Sydenham pruning visits take 1–3 hours, while a medium crown reduction is often completed within half a day. Larger dismantles or multi-tree jobs can take 1–2 days, especially where rigging is needed over sheds, fences or neighbouring gardens. Timescales change with access, waste removal distance, weather, and whether a stump is being ground out. We’ll confirm duration when we quote.
Often, routine pruning and garden maintenance is permitted, but some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area. In those cases, permission or prior notice may be required before felling, heavy reduction, or certain pruning. We’ll ask the right questions, check the relevant constraints, and advise on the correct route before booking work. If needed, we can support with documentation and tree reports.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty where applicable, covering defects arising from how the work was carried out (for example, issues linked to poor cuts or incorrect methods). It doesn’t cover future storm damage, ongoing growth changes, or pre-existing disease and structural faults within the tree. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific job and provide aftercare guidance to protect the result.
We can shape trees with crown thinning, crown reduction, formative pruning for young trees, or sympathetic lifting to improve clearance. For planting, popular choices include small ornamental trees for compact gardens, native species to support wildlife, or screening trees to improve privacy. We’ll help you choose based on light, soil, mature size, and proximity to buildings. You can also choose stump grinding depth and whether logs are left for firewood.
