Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often means tighter side access and smaller rear gardens. In Blackheath and Lee, mature trees can be a real asset, but they need regular management to reduce risk and improve structure. We tailor pruning cuts to the species and the setting, keeping trees balanced without over-thinning. Where space is limited, we use sectional dismantling and efficient waste removal to keep your property protected.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess condition, hazards and the best method of work. We protect lawns, patios and borders, then carry out the agreed works—tree pruning, stump removal, hedge trimming or emergency call-outs—before leaving the site clean and safe. You’ll get clear recommendations, straightforward options and tidy arisings removal. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and consistent results across the tree surgery Lewisham area.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham often involves narrow driveways, controlled parking and shared access routes between terraces. We plan vehicle positioning, chipper use and waste loading to minimise disruption, especially near Lewisham Shopping Centre and main commuter roads. Ground conditions can vary from compacted lawns to landscaped clay-heavy beds, so we use ground protection where needed. Our approach suits both period gardens and newer developments with tighter boundaries.

Tree surgery costs in Lewisham typically range from £200 to £2,500 per tree, with many homeowners paying around £300 to £1,500 depending on the work. Pruning and crown reduction are usually at the lower end, while large dismantles, crane-assisted felling, or multiple-stump removal sit higher. Price is influenced by tree size, access, proximity to buildings, waste removal, and whether emergency attendance is required.
Most jobs take 1–2 days, but smaller pruning or hedge trimming can sometimes be completed within a few hours. Timescales depend on the tree’s height and spread, the complexity of dismantling, and how close it is to fences, sheds or neighbouring gardens. Limited access in terrace streets can add time for safe rigging and waste handling. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after assessing the site.
Many routine garden works are permitted, but some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or are within a conservation area, which can require consent before pruning or felling. Rules can apply even on private property. We help you identify whether restrictions may apply and can advise on the right next steps before work begins. If permission is needed, we’ll plan timings around the approval process.
