West Dulwich is known for leafy streets and period homes, and that brings specific challenges when removing mature trees. Victorian villas, Edwardian houses, and period conversions often have narrow side access, delicate paving, and established planting that needs protection. We plan lifts, lowering routes, and chipper positioning to avoid damage to lawns, patios, and garden walls. If you’re in Dulwich Village, Herne Hill or Tulse Hill, we’ll tailor the method to the property layout.
Every job starts with a site visit and a clear method statement, including risk controls for pedestrians, pets, and nearby structures. Where space is tight, we use controlled rigging for sectional dismantling rather than dropping timber. We can arrange emergency work, insurance work, and full site clearance, with waste removed promptly. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, work respectfully, and finish the job properly—right down to the stump.
In the tree removal contractors West Dulwich area, access can be restricted by side passages, parked cars, and shared driveways. We plan equipment placement and loading to keep disruption low and maintain safe pedestrian routes. Gardens near Dulwich Wood can have heavier shade and established root systems, so we take extra care around retaining walls, drains, and neighbouring planting. We also coordinate responsibly with local requirements where needed as tree removal contractors in London Borough of Lambeth.

Costs vary with height, spread, access, and whether you need stump grinding and waste removal. As a guide, small trees can start around £250–£500, medium removals often fall in the £600–£1,200 range, and large or complex sectional dismantles can be £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£350 depending on diameter and location. We’ll survey and provide a written estimate.
Many straightforward removals take half a day, while larger trees or tight-access sectional dismantling can take a full day or more. Time depends on the tree’s size, the need for rigging, proximity to buildings, and how far arisings must be carried to the chipper. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes once set up. We’ll confirm timings after the site assessment.
Most garden tree work doesn’t need planning permission, but some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area. If that applies, permission may be required before felling or major pruning. We can help you identify constraints and advise on the right process, including evidence for dead or dangerous trees where relevant. We always aim to keep your work compliant and documented.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the elements we install or reinstate as part of the job (for example, making good disturbed ground where agreed). Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but we guarantee safe, professional execution and thorough site clearance to the agreed scope. If stump grinding is included, we confirm the finished depth and tidy-up. Warranty terms are provided in writing.
You can choose stump grinding (fast and minimally disruptive) or full stump removal where excavation is practical and access allows. Afterward, we can backfill with topsoil, re-turf, or prepare a bed for replanting—popular choices include small ornamental trees, screening shrubs, or a new lawn section. If you’re planning paving or a shed base, we’ll advise on levels and compaction. We’ll recommend the best option for your garden and budget.
