From tight rear gardens near the Bentall Centre to riverside plots by Kingston Bridge, tree work in Kingston needs a careful approach. We carry out tree felling, sectional dismantling and stump removal with minimal disruption to your home and neighbours. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage or a tree that’s outgrown its space, we plan the safest method first. Waste is removed and the site left clean and usable.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, often with mature trees close to buildings and boundaries. In KT1 and KT2, access can be limited by narrow side passages, shared driveways and parked cars. We’re used to working around conservatories, outbuildings and landscaped gardens where protection matters. If you’re in Surbiton or New Malden, we’ll tailor the setup to your property and access points.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, drop zones and any risks to roofs, fences and services. Where space is restricted, we use controlled sectional dismantling and rigging to lower branches safely. You’ll get a clear plan, straightforward options for stump grinding or full stump removal, and a tidy finish with site clearance included. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, insured workmanship and careful respect for established gardens.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we regularly encounter clay-heavy ground, mature root systems and gardens shaped by older boundaries. Parking and access can be challenging near busy routes and shopping areas, so we plan loading, chipper placement and waste removal to keep things moving. For period homes, we protect paving, lawns and planting, and use low-impact methods where needed. We also factor in riverside wind exposure that can affect tree stability.

Costs vary by height, trunk diameter, access and whether sectional dismantling is needed. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, while medium trees commonly fall between £600–£1,500. Large or complex removals near buildings can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is usually £120–£450 depending on size and depth. Emergency work and crane/MEWP access can increase costs.
Many small trees can be removed within half a day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Medium trees often take a full day, especially if branches must be lowered in sections. Larger trees or those in tight access gardens may take 1–2 days, particularly when stump removal and site clearance are included. Timescales depend on access, proximity to structures, the amount of rigging required and any nesting wildlife checks.
Most tree work on private land doesn’t need planning permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area, where notice or consent is required before felling or major pruning. We’ll help you check protections and advise on the correct process with the council. If urgent work is needed for safety, we can document the condition for records and insurance.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed aspects of the completed job, such as reinstatement and specified groundworks following stump removal where included. Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but we guarantee safe, professional execution, thorough site clearance and responsible waste disposal. If any issue arises relating to the agreed scope, we’ll return to inspect and put it right. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing.
You can choose stump grinding (most popular) to remove the stump below ground level, or full stump removal where roots need extracting for building or replanting. After grinding, we can backfill with arisings or remove them and import topsoil for turfing or planting. If you’re redesigning the area, we’ll advise on levelling, edging and suitable planting positions. We’ll help you pick the best option based on access and future plans.
