From overgrown garden trees near Kennington Park to storm-damaged limbs close to The Oval, we remove trees safely and efficiently. Fine Landscaping provides professional tree felling, sectional dismantling and full site clearance across SE11. We plan each job around access, neighbours and public footpaths, keeping disruption low. All waste is removed and the area left clean and usable.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often have narrow side returns, shared accessways and mature rear gardens. That’s why we frequently use controlled dismantling rather than straight felling, lowering sections safely over sheds, patios and conservatories. If you’re in Oval, Vauxhall or Elephant & Castle, we’ll assess access and lifting points before we start. Our team is used to working around basements, boundary walls and established planting.
We begin with a site visit and clear method statement, then protect lawns, paving and borders before any cutting starts. When required, we grind or remove the stump to prevent regrowth and make replanting or paving straightforward. Homeowners choose our tree removal contractors Kennington area for reliable timings, careful clean-up and clear communication. Emergency work and insurance work are available, with photos and documentation provided where needed.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often means controlled noise hours, careful parking plans and considerate neighbour management. Around Kennington tube station and SE11 streets, access can be restricted, so we arrive with the right kit for narrow passages and limited loading space. Many gardens sit behind period buildings with fragile brickwork and mature borders, so we use ground protection and precise rigging. We’ll also advise if a tree may be protected before work begins.

Costs vary by tree size, access and whether you need stump grinding. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, medium trees commonly fall between £600–£1,500, and large or complex sectional dismantles can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and access. We provide a written quote after a site visit in SE11.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day, while larger trees or tight-access dismantling usually takes one full day. Complex removals near buildings, shared accessways or overhead obstacles can run to two days, especially if multiple trees are involved. Stump grinding is often completed the same day, typically 30–90 minutes per stump. Timings depend on tree size, rigging needs, waste volume and parking/loading access.
You don’t usually need permission for routine garden work, but tree removal can be restricted if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Parts of Kennington include historic streetscapes where extra checks may apply. We’ll help you identify whether protection is likely and can advise on the next steps before any work starts. If consent is required, we can support the application with details and photos.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of our completed works such as stump grinding depth, reinstatement where agreed, and site clearance standards. Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but we guarantee that the agreed tree sections and waste are removed and the site is left safe and tidy. Any limitations (for example, hidden underground services) are explained in writing before work begins.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding to below ground level, full stump removal with excavation, or leaving the stump if appropriate (rarely recommended). For the finished area, many homeowners opt for topsoil and turf, replanting with a smaller specimen tree, or preparing the space for paving, beds or a shed base. We’ll advise based on light levels, root spread and how you use the garden, then clear all waste for a clean handover.
