Homes in Sydenham often include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, with long rear gardens and established planting. That means tight side access, shared boundaries and trees close to conservatories, sheds and neighbouring fences. We’re used to working carefully around delicate paving, mature borders and older brickwork. For clients in Forest Hill, Lower Sydenham and Penge, we plan each job to keep access clear and protect your outdoor spaces.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, structure and targets below, then recommend the safest approach: crown reduction, pruning, felling or stump removal. Our team uses controlled lowering and modern equipment to avoid damage, and we leave the area tidy with all arisings removed or chipped if you’d like mulch. You’ll get a written scope of works, transparent costs and clear timings. Many homeowners choose us for tree surgery Sydenham area jobs because we’re reliable, careful and easy to deal with.
Sydenham gardens often sit on varied ground with mature roots, sloping plots and dense planting near boundaries. Parking and access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan loading, chipper placement and safe drop zones in advance. We also factor in neighbouring properties and shared fences common in period streets. For tree surgery in London Borough of Lewisham, we work with the right checks and paperwork where required.

Most Tree Surgery jobs in Sydenham fall between £300 and £1,500 per tree, depending on size, access and the type of work. Smaller pruning or hedge trimming can start around £200, while complex dismantles, crane-assisted work or multiple stumps can reach £2,500 per tree. Costs also change if waste removal, stump grinding, or emergency attendance is needed. We provide a clear written quote after a site visit.
Typical work takes 1–2 days, with many single-tree jobs completed in a day. Timing depends on tree height, how close it is to buildings, whether we’re doing crown reduction versus full felling, and if stump removal is included. Restricted access in Sydenham’s period properties can slow down moving equipment and arisings. We’ll confirm the schedule before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
Often, routine pruning and maintenance doesn’t require permission, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, where you may need council consent before work starts. As part of our process, we can help check the tree’s status and advise on the correct route. We won’t begin protected works until the right approvals are in place.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering the quality of the completed works such as pruning cuts, reductions to the agreed specification, and stump grinding finished levels. It doesn’t cover future tree growth, storm damage, disease progression, or issues caused by third-party alterations. We also work to recognised safe methods and leave your site clean and secure at the end of the job.
We tailor the approach to your goals and the tree’s condition. Popular options include crown reduction for light and clearance, crown lifting over paths and driveways, formative pruning for younger trees, full felling where necessary, and stump grinding to replant or lay turf. For boundaries, we also offer hedge trimming and reshaping. We’ll explain what each option achieves, how it affects the tree, and the best choice for your garden.
