From the converted blocks around Royal Arsenal to family gardens near Woolwich Town Centre, trees in SE18 need careful, professional management. Our arborists carry out tree felling, crown reduction and pruning to improve safety, light and long-term structure. If you’ve got storm damage or a dangerous limb after high winds off the Thames, we also offer a rapid emergency call-out. Every job is planned to protect your property, neighbours and access routes.
Woolwich’s mix of Victorian terraces, modern apartments and redevelopment plots means access can be tight and boundaries close. We regularly support homeowners in Plumstead, Charlton and Abbey Wood where gardens vary from compact courtyards to longer plots with mature trees. Whether you’re maintaining a feature tree, reducing shade over a patio, or planting new trees to soften a new-build outlook, we tailor the approach to the site. For landlords and managing agents, we can also provide clear tree reports for peace of mind.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and a straightforward written quote, then schedule work at a time that suits you. Our team works with modern rigging and chipping equipment to control drops, reduce mess and keep noise and disruption down. All arisings can be removed, and stumps ground out where required for replanting or paving. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and leave the garden clean and usable.
We’re used to Woolwich parking constraints, controlled access and working near busy routes like the Woolwich Ferry approaches. Many SE18 gardens have limited side access, so we plan rigging, chipper positioning and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary near the Thames, which affects planting choices and staking methods. As trusted tree contractors in Royal Borough of Greenwich locations, we also help you navigate council considerations and neighbour boundaries before work starts.

Costs vary by tree size, access, waste removal and whether rigging is needed. As a guide, light pruning or small crown reductions often start around £250–£450. Medium reductions or felling can be £500–£1,200, while large dismantles in tight spaces may reach £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£350 depending on diameter and depth. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Small pruning jobs can be completed in 1–3 hours, while a typical crown reduction or medium felling usually takes half a day to a full day. Large trees, restricted access (common around terraces and flats), or complex rigging can extend work to 1–2 days. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on tree condition, nesting checks, waste volume and safe equipment positioning.
Many routine works are permitted, but some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, which can apply in parts of Woolwich. If protection applies, you’ll usually need council consent before felling or significant pruning. We can help identify likely restrictions, advise what’s normally acceptable, and support the application process where needed. We also recommend speaking with neighbours when branches cross boundaries.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for agreed elements of the job, such as correct execution of pruning cuts, safe dismantling methods and proper stump grinding to the specified depth. The warranty covers defects arising from our work, not future storm events, ground movement or lack of aftercare. For tree planting, we’ll also advise on watering, staking and establishment to maximise survival in the first seasons.
We offer formative pruning for young trees, crown thinning for improved light, crown reduction to manage size, and selective pruning to clear buildings or pathways. For planting, popular choices include ornamental cherries, amelanchier and small native species suited to compact SE18 gardens, plus pleached or multi-stem trees for screening. Hedge work can include reductions, reshaping and renovation cuts. We’ll recommend options based on soil, shade, wind exposure and your privacy goals.
