Mature trees are a big part of what makes Sanderstead feel green and established, but they need proper care to stay safe. Whether you’re near Sanderstead Plantation or close to Sanderstead Recreation Ground, we handle everything from careful pruning to full removals. Our arborists work to reduce risk, improve light, and keep trees structurally sound. We also provide emergency call-outs after storms and high winds.
Sanderstead’s large detached houses, executive homes and period properties often have generous plots with long boundaries and mature specimens. That can mean tricky access, delicate lawns, and neighbouring fences to protect. We’re used to working in the CR2 postcode and the surrounding tree-lined streets, where neat finishes matter. If you’re in Purley, Selsdon or Hamsey Green, we can tailor the approach to your garden layout and tree species.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, targets below, and the best method for safe dismantling or pruning. You’ll receive a clear scope of work, sensible options, and a tidy-up plan before we begin. Our team uses professional rigging and controlled lowering where needed, with careful protection for patios, driveways and planting beds. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for added confidence.
We understand the access challenges of larger plots and long driveways common in the London Borough of Croydon. Parking and chipper placement can be tight on residential roads, so we plan equipment and waste removal to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, especially after heavy rain, so we protect lawns and manage rutting risks. We also consider neighbours, boundary lines and visibility near footpaths when setting up safe working zones.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Tree surgery in Sanderstead typically costs £300–£1,500 per tree, with a wider range of around £200–£2,500 depending on size and complexity. Price is influenced by access, proximity to buildings, whether rigging is needed, and the scope (crown reduction, pruning, felling, stump removal or hedge trimming). Emergency call-outs and crane-assisted work can sit at the higher end.
Most jobs take 1–2 days, but timings vary with tree height, number of trees, and how much material must be removed from site. A straightforward prune or hedge trim can be completed in a day, while a large dismantle with controlled lowering and stump removal may take longer. Poor access, tight working space, and weather conditions can also extend the schedule.
Many garden tree works are permitted, but restrictions can apply if a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. In the London Borough of Croydon, notices or applications may be required before pruning, felling or major crown reductions. We’ll help check constraints and advise on the right route before work starts, so you stay compliant and avoid delays.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on the agreed scope, giving you confidence that cuts, reductions and removals have been carried out correctly and safely. It also includes reassurance on site protection and tidy completion as specified in your quote. Natural factors such as storms, disease progression, or issues outside the agreed work aren’t covered, but we’ll always advise on prevention and aftercare.
Options include crown reduction for light and clearance, selective tree pruning for shape and health, full tree felling with sectional dismantling, stump grinding for a clean finish, and hedge trimming for boundaries. We can also cut timber into manageable logs, chip brash for removal, or leave mulch by request. We’ll recommend the best approach based on tree species, garden use, and your long-term plans.
