If a tree has become unsafe, overgrown, or storm-damaged, we provide professional removal with a focus on safety and clean results. We regularly work near South Croydon station and along the greener edges by Lloyd Park, where access and neighbouring properties need extra care. From one-off removals to urgent call-outs, we plan each job to protect fences, patios and planting. All timber, brash and debris are removed, leaving your garden usable again.
South Croydon is known for large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, often with mature trees and established boundaries. That means tight side access, shared driveways and nearby conservatories are common considerations. We’re used to working around garages, power lines and delicate landscaping while keeping noise and mess controlled. Homeowners in Sanderstead, Purley and Croydon choose us when they need a careful approach rather than a quick hack-and-drop.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, drop zones and safe rigging points, then agree a clear method statement. Depending on location and risk, we’ll carry out tree felling or sectional dismantling, followed by stump grinding or full stump removal. Site clearance and waste removal are included as standard, with options to leave logs if requested. Fine Landscaping is fully insured, experienced with emergency work, and trusted locally because we turn up on time and leave the site tidy.
In the London Borough of Croydon, many roads around CR2 have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan vehicle positioning and chipper use carefully. South Croydon’s clay-heavy ground can make stump removal and reinstatement more involved, especially after wet weather. We adapt methods for long rear gardens, shared driveways and mature borders common in Selsdon and Sanderstead. Where required, we coordinate with neighbours and keep disruption to a minimum.

Costs vary with size, height, access and whether sectional dismantling is needed. 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 access. Emergency call-outs and crane/MEWP needs can increase costs.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day to a full day, including waste removal and tidy-up. Larger trees, tight access, or work requiring sectional dismantling and rigging can take 1–3 days. Stump grinding is often completed within 30–90 minutes once set up. Timescales depend on tree size, proximity to buildings, parking/access for equipment, and whether additional site clearance is required.
Often you can remove a tree on your property without 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. We check the relevant Croydon rules and advise on the correct route before booking. For emergency safety work, we can help document condition and actions taken.
Yes. Our workmanship comes with a 10-year warranty on agreed reinstatement and associated landscaping works we carry out (such as backfilling, levelling and making-good where specified). Tree removal itself is completed to industry-safe standards, and we’re fully insured for peace of mind. If you choose stump grinding, we grind to the depth agreed and can advise on aftercare to prevent regrowth from remaining roots.
You can choose stump grinding (most popular for quick, neat results) or full stump removal where excavation is preferred for foundations or hard landscaping. After removal, we can backfill with topsoil, re-turf, extend borders, or prepare the area for replanting with a more suitable species. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, nearby structures, and how you want to use the garden space long-term.
