Brockley’s mature gardens and street trees can quickly outgrow their space, block light or become storm-damaged. Our team works across SE4, including near Brockley Market and Hilly Fields, delivering safe tree felling, sectional dismantling and full site clearance. We prioritise careful rigging and controlled lowering to protect fences, patios and neighbouring gardens. All waste is removed, leaving your outdoor space ready to use.
As a popular leafy suburb with period homes, Brockley often presents narrow side returns and shared access routes. We regularly work at Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions where protecting brickwork, slate paths and established planting is essential. If you’re in Honor Oak, Crofton Park or New Cross, we’ll plan the safest approach for your property layout. Our local knowledge keeps disruption low and results consistent.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and a clear written quote, then schedule work around parking and access. Depending on the tree and location, we’ll fell in one piece or dismantle section-by-section, followed by stump grinding or full stump removal. We finish with thorough site clearance and responsible waste removal. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, safe methods and a clean finish every time.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham often means careful planning for narrow streets, parking controls and limited rear access. Brockley gardens can have compact footprints but tall, established trees, so we use controlled rigging to prevent damage. We also factor in nearby public spaces such as Brockley Cemetery when assessing wildlife and seasonal constraints. If you’re in Ladywell or near SE4 borders, we’ll tailor the method to your access and ground conditions.

Costs vary by tree size, access and whether dismantling is needed. In Brockley, small tree removals often start around £350–£700. Medium trees commonly fall in the £800–£1,600 range, while large or complex sectional dismantles can be £1,800–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350 depending on diameter and depth. Emergency work and crane/traffic management can increase costs.
Many small removals can be completed in half a day, including tidy-up. Medium trees usually take one day, especially where sectional dismantling and stump grinding are included. Larger trees, restricted access, or multiple stems can take 1–2 days. Timescales depend on proximity to buildings, the need for rigging, waste volume, and whether we’re completing full site clearance. We’ll confirm an estimated duration after inspection.
Often you won’t need permission for straightforward garden tree work, but there are key exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or a notice period. As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we help you check protections and advise on the right route before work starts. If emergency work is required for safety, we’ll document the condition.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on related groundworks we complete, such as backfilling, making good and reinstatement around the stump area. For stump grinding, the warranty relates to the standard of work and site finish rather than future root activity beyond the ground level treated. We also carry appropriate insurance and follow safe working practices, with clear documentation for insurance work where needed.
After stump grinding or full stump removal, you can choose practical finishes depending on how you want to use the space. Popular options include topsoil and turf, replanting with a smaller tree or shrubs, extending a patio, or creating a gravel planting bed. We’ll advise on soil depth, drainage and root competition, then prepare the area so it’s ready for landscaping. We can also handle full site clearance and waste removal.
