Knightsbridge gardens often sit close to high-value buildings and busy streets, so tree removal needs careful planning and controlled techniques. Whether you’re near Harrods or bordering Hyde Park, we manage everything from emergency work to full site clearance. Our team handles tree felling and sectional dismantling to protect roofs, balconies, parking bays and planted borders. All arisings are removed and the area left clean and usable.
We regularly work across SW1, SW3 and SW7, where access can be tight and finishes must be immaculate. Typical properties include grand mansion blocks with communal gardens, period townhouses with rear courtyards, and ultra-luxury apartments with landscaped terraces. These settings often require low-noise methods, careful rigging and considerate scheduling. We tailor the approach to your building rules, neighbours and the layout of your plot.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, targets, access and safe drop zones, then propose the most suitable method: felling, sectional dismantling or crane-assisted removal where required. Stump grinding or full stump removal can follow, depending on your replanting or paving plans. We’re fully insured and experienced with insurance work, including storm-damaged trees. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, tidy workmanship and clear, written scopes of work.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster means adapting to restricted parking, controlled hours and narrow access routes. Many Knightsbridge properties have basement excavations, lightwells and delicate hardscaping, so we use ground protection and precise rigging to prevent damage. We also plan for busy traffic around South Kensington and Belgravia, arranging loading and waste removal efficiently. Where needed, we coordinate with managing agents and concierge teams for smooth access.

Costs vary with height, spread, access, and whether sectional dismantling is needed. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £350–£750, medium trees typically fall in the £800–£1,800 range, and large or complex removals can be £2,000–£5,000+. Stump grinding is commonly £150–£450 depending on size and location. We’ll provide a clear written quote after a site visit.
Many straightforward removals take half a day to a full day, including waste removal and tidy-up. Larger trees in tight courtyards or near buildings can take 1–2 days, especially if sectional dismantling, rigging, or traffic-managed loading is required. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access, nearby targets (windows, cars, roofs), and whether permits or neighbour coordination is needed.
You may need consent if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area, both of which are common locally. Many routine garden works are permitted, but tree protections are a separate issue and can carry penalties if ignored. We can help check the status with the relevant council and advise on the correct application route. For emergency dangerous trees, there are specific exemptions and evidence requirements.
Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying associated landscaping reinstatement we complete (such as relaying paving, edging, or re-turfing disturbed areas). For stump grinding, we guarantee the stump is ground to the agreed depth and the site is left safe and tidy. Tree removal itself is a one-time operation, but we stand by our safety standards, clean-up, and any agreed making-good works in writing.
Once the stump is ground out or removed, popular options include re-turfing, replanting with a smaller ornamental tree, installing raised planters, or extending paving for seating and access. In townhouse gardens, clients often choose elegant planting schemes to restore privacy quickly. We’ll advise on soil improvement, root barriers where needed, and suitable species for light and space. If you prefer, we can also handle full site clearance and re-landscaping.
