From overhanging limbs near Dulwich Park to tight rear access in East Dulwich, our arborists handle complex tree work with care. We carry out crown reduction, tree pruning and full tree felling where appropriate, always prioritising safety and tree health. If you’re dealing with a hazardous branch after high winds, we also provide emergency tree work. We work across SE21, SE22 and SE24 with minimal disruption to neighbours.
Dulwich’s affluent village atmosphere and period architecture often come with established trees and long, planted gardens. Georgian and Victorian houses in Dulwich Village and large detached properties around West Dulwich commonly need thoughtful canopy management to protect roofs, gutters and light levels. We’re used to working around conservatories, garden studios and mature hedging. Where access is limited, we plan lifting points, rigging and waste routes before we start.
Every job begins with a site assessment and a clear method statement, including risk controls for pedestrians, parked cars and nearby structures. We use professional climbing and rigging techniques, and we leave your garden clean with timber and chip removed or neatly stacked if requested. You’ll get straightforward recommendations rather than upselling, plus documentation where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, punctual teams and consistently tidy finishes.
We know the access challenges common in the tree surgery Dulwich area, including narrow side passages and shared drives. Parking and traffic conditions around Dulwich College and Dulwich Village can affect chipper placement, so we plan arrival times and loading points. We also factor in boundary proximity and neighbour considerations typical of Southwark gardens. If permissions or protections apply, we’ll guide you through the checks before cutting begins.

Tree surgery costs in Dulwich typically range from £200–£2,500 per tree, depending on size, height, access and complexity. Most homeowners pay around £300–£1,500 for common jobs such as crown reduction, pruning or small-to-medium removals. Stump removal, emergency call-outs, or work near buildings and power lines can increase costs. We’ll assess the tree and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most tree surgery projects take 1–2 days, but smaller pruning jobs can be completed within a few hours. Timescales depend on the tree’s size, the method (climbing versus platform), and whether stump removal is included. Access in SE21–SE24 gardens, waste removal distance, and the need for careful rigging near conservatories or sheds can also extend the job. We’ll confirm timings after the site visit.
Many routine garden works don’t require planning permission, but trees can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area in the London Borough of Southwark. If protections apply, you may need consent before pruning, reducing or felling. We’ll help you identify the likely status and advise on the correct approach. We can also provide supporting details for applications where required.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for agreed elements of the job, such as correct pruning cuts, safe rigging practices and proper stump grinding finish levels.

We also work to recognised arboricultural standards and maintain appropriate insurance. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We tailor the scope to your tree and goals: crown reduction for light and clearance, selective tree pruning for structure, tree felling where removal is necessary, and stump removal to replant or pave. For hedges, we offer shaping and height control to suit sightlines and privacy. You can choose whether logs are stacked for firewood, chipped for mulch, or fully removed. We’ll recommend the best option after assessment.
