From mature garden trees near Crystal Palace Park to tight rear access in SE19 and SE20, we carry out tree work that protects your home and your neighbours. Whether you need crown reduction to reduce shade or careful felling of a declining tree, we plan every cut. We also handle emergency call-outs after high winds, making sites safe quickly. All work is completed with a clean finish and responsible waste removal.
Crystal Palace’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have established gardens with tall specimens close to boundaries. In Upper Norwood and Gipsy Hill, trees can overhang roofs, conservatories and shared access lanes, so precision matters. We’re used to working around outbuildings, raised terraces and delicate planting. Our arborists tailor pruning to the species and the structure of each tree, not a one-size approach.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and clear scope of works, then schedule the right crew and equipment for access. Protection boards and controlled rigging help prevent damage to lawns, paving and fences. You’ll receive straightforward recommendations, photos if needed, and a full tidy-up on completion. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, insured work, and a 10-year warranty for qualifying workmanship-related issues.
Crystal Palace sits across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, so rules and access can vary street by street. We plan for narrow drives, controlled parking, and careful chipper placement, especially around Anerley and Penge. Hilltop gardens can be sloped and exposed to wind, which affects pruning choices and safety setup. If permissions or protected status apply, we’ll guide you through the checks before work begins.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Tree surgery costs in Crystal Palace typically range from £200–£2,500 per tree, with most jobs landing around £300–£1,500 depending on size and access. Crown reductions and pruning are usually less than full felling, while stump removal and emergency call-outs can add to the total. Factors include height, proximity to buildings, waste removal, and whether rigging is required for safe lowering.
Most tree surgery jobs take 1–2 days, but smaller pruning or hedge trimming can be completed in a few hours. Timescales depend on the tree’s size, the number of trees, access for equipment, and whether sections must be lowered by rope to protect roofs, fences or patios. Stump grinding can be quick, while complex dismantles near property lines may need extra time for safe rigging and clean-up.
Many tree works can be carried out without formal planning permission, but restrictions may apply if the tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Requirements can differ across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. We help identify the relevant council, check constraints, and advise on any notices or applications needed before pruning, felling or major reductions.

We offer crown reduction, crown lifting, formative pruning, deadwood removal, sectional felling, stump grinding, hedge trimming and emergency tree work. For aftercare, we can shape trees for more light, improve clearance over paths, or reduce wind-sail on exposed sites. If you’d like to replant, we can suggest suitable species and positions for Crystal Palace gardens. We’ll talk through priorities—safety, light, privacy and long-term structure—before starting.
