Brixton’s mature street trees and back-garden specimens can quickly outgrow their space, especially around Victorian terraces near Brixton Hill and Stockwell. Fine Landscaping provides skilled tree felling, crown reduction, pruning and stump removal with minimal disruption. We regularly work close to busy routes and pedestrian areas, including around Windrush Square and Electric Avenue. If a limb has failed or a tree is leaning after high winds, our emergency tree work helps you make the area safe fast.
Homes across SW2 and SW9 range from Georgian houses with long rear gardens to modern developments with tighter access and shared boundaries. We tailor cuts to protect light, privacy and neighbouring properties, while keeping trees structurally sound. In conservation-minded streets near Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, we take extra care to preserve character and canopy where appropriate. Our recommendations focus on long-term health, not over-thinning for a quick fix.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and a clear plan for access, waste removal and neighbour considerations. Work is carried out by trained professionals using the right equipment for controlled dismantling and safe rigging. We leave your garden tidy, remove arisings, and can grind stumps to prep for turfing, planting or paving. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, straightforward pricing, and consistent workmanship across the tree surgery brixton area.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often means narrow side returns, shared alleyways and resident parking controls. We plan equipment and chipper placement to suit Brixton’s busier streets, and we’re used to protecting paving, raised beds and basement lightwells. Many gardens sit close to party walls, so we use careful sectional dismantling and rigging where needed. If council constraints apply, we help you navigate them before work starts.

Tree surgery in Brixton typically ranges from £200–£2,500 per tree, with many jobs landing around £300–£1,500. Smaller pruning or hedge trimming tends to sit at the lower end, while large dismantles, difficult access, or emergency tree work can increase costs. Stump removal is priced based on stump size and access. We’ll confirm a sensible range after assessing height, spread, condition and nearby structures.
Most tree surgery jobs take 1–2 days, depending on the size of the tree and the scope of work. A straightforward crown reduction or pruning can often be completed in a day, while felling with sectional dismantling and stump grinding may run into a second day. Access through narrow side passages, the need for rigging, and waste removal logistics in SW2/SW9 can also affect timings.
Many routine garden works don’t require formal permission, but tree work can be restricted if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. In the London Borough of Lambeth, rules can vary street by street. We’ll ask the right questions, help check protections, and advise on any notices or applications needed before starting. This reduces delays and avoids accidental non-compliance.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty where applicable, covering the quality of the completed work and any issues arising from poor installation or avoidable damage during our operations. Tree biology means we can’t guarantee how every tree will respond long-term, but we do guarantee we’ll follow best practice pruning and safe methods. If you have concerns after the job, we’ll return to inspect and advise.
Options include crown reduction for improved light, selective tree pruning to remove deadwood or crossing branches, and full tree felling where a tree is unsafe or unsuitable. We also provide stump removal (grinding), hedge trimming to reset boundaries, and emergency tree work after storms. We’ll recommend the least invasive solution that meets your goals, considering shade, privacy, wildlife and the look of your garden.
