From overgrown boundary trees to storm-damaged limbs, we provide professional tree removal across Coulsdon and CR5. We regularly work near Farthing Downs and Old Coulsdon, where mature trees and exposed sites can create real risk in high winds. Our team handles tree felling, sectional dismantling and full site clearance with minimal disruption. If access is tight, we plan lifts and lowering techniques to protect lawns, patios and neighbouring fences.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting means many gardens back onto woodland edges and downland, with taller specimens and heavier canopy growth. We’re used to working around large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments in areas such as Chipstead Valley and Hooley. Whether your tree is close to a conservatory, garage or shared driveway, we tailor the method to the space available. If required, we’ll also manage insurance work following impact damage or subsidence concerns.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess tree condition, access, and safe drop zones, then we provide a written quotation. We can remove arisings the same day, leaving your garden clean, or chip and stack logs if you prefer. Stump grinding and stump removal are available to make replanting or paving straightforward. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship, and a finish that looks like we were never there.
We understand the access challenges of Coulsdon’s long drives, shared side passages and sloping plots near Happy Valley and Coulsdon Common. Parking and chipper placement are planned to keep roads clear and neighbours happy. As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in local constraints such as Conservation Areas and potential TPOs. Where ground is soft or chalky, we use protective boards to reduce rutting and compaction.

Costs in the Coulsdon area vary with height, spread, access and whether you need sectional dismantling. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, medium trees commonly fall between £600–£1,500, and large or complex removals can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Waste removal and emergency work can affect the total.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day to a full day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Larger trees, tight access, or sectional dismantling near buildings can take 1–2 days, sometimes longer if multiple trees are involved. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes per stump, depending on size and root structure. Weather, parking restrictions, and the need for traffic management can also extend timescales.
You don’t usually need planning permission for tree work on private property, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a Conservation Area, in which case you’ll need consent or to give notice before work starts. We can help check the status with the London Borough of Croydon and advise on the correct route. Emergency work for dangerous trees may be handled differently, with evidence required.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on related landscaping reinstatement we carry out (for example, repaired fencing, re-laid paving, or re-turfed areas disturbed during access). Tree removal itself is completed to an agreed written specification, and we’re fully insured for peace of mind. If you choose stump grinding, we’ll confirm the finished level and what to expect as the grindings settle. Any concerns are handled promptly and professionally.
Once the tree is down, you can choose stump grinding (fast and tidy), full stump removal (deeper excavation), or leaving a habitat stump where appropriate. For the cleared space, popular options include re-turfing, new planting beds, hedging for privacy, or extending a patio or driveway edge. We’ll advise based on light levels, soil conditions and how you use the garden. We can also chip brash for mulch or remove everything for a clean slate.
