Canary Wharf gardens, podium terraces and communal green spaces often have limited access and close neighbours, so tree removal needs planning and precision. Whether you’re near One Canada Square or walking distance from Crossrail Place, we remove trees safely without unnecessary mess. Our team manages the full job: felling or dismantling, stump work, and waste removal. If a tree has become hazardous after high winds, we can prioritise emergency call-outs.
We regularly support homeowners and residents’ management companies across the Isle of Dogs, Poplar and Limehouse. Property styles here are typically modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses, where lift access, loading bays and strict site rules matter. We’re used to working around balconies, roof terraces and landscaped courtyards where space is tight and protection of paving and planters is essential. For larger plots on the edges towards Greenwich, we can also handle bigger dismantles and clearances.
We start with a site visit to assess the tree’s condition, access routes and safe drop zones, then recommend the best method: tree felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling with controlled lowering. Stump grinding or full stump removal is scheduled to suit your replanting or hard landscaping plans. We leave the area clean, remove all arisings, and can provide documentation for insurance work when required. Fine Landscaping is based around 45 minutes away, so you get a responsive local service with premium standards.
In E14, access and parking can be the biggest challenge, especially around managed developments and loading restrictions. We plan equipment routes, protect surfaces, and schedule work to reduce disruption to neighbours and building management. Ground conditions vary from raised planters to compacted soils on podium gardens, so we tailor stump grinding depth and reinstatement accordingly. We also check for any local constraints, including conservation considerations and protected trees.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Canary Wharf vary with height, access, and whether the tree needs sectional dismantling. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, medium trees typically fall between £600–£1,500, and larger or complex dismantles can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Waste removal, parking logistics and emergency work can affect the final figure.
Many small removals can be completed in 2–4 hours, while medium trees often take half a day to a full day. Large trees or tight-access sectional dismantling may take 1–2 days, especially in courtyards or near buildings. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump, but multiple stumps take longer. Timescales depend on access, lifting/lowering requirements, proximity to structures, and the amount of clearance and cleanup requested.
In many cases, removing a tree on private land doesn’t need formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or notice before work starts. If the tree is dangerous, different rules may apply, but evidence is still helpful. We check the relevant constraints and guide you through any council requirements before booking the work.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship related to stump removal and reinstatement where agreed (for example, grinding depth and backfilling to the specified level). Tree removal itself is carried out to industry-safe methods, and we guarantee a tidy finish with all agreed waste removed. The warranty doesn’t cover issues caused by third-party works, future ground movement, or new planting/landscaping changes outside our scope, but we’ll always advise on best practice.
After stump grinding or full stump removal, popular options include re-turfing, replanting with a smaller ornamental tree, installing raised planters, or extending paving/decking to match modern terraces. In communal or waterfront developments, many clients choose low-maintenance planting schemes that cope well with wind exposure. We’ll advise on soil improvement, drainage and suitable species for the space, then leave the area ready for your next landscaping step.
