Trees around Tooting Bec Common and the streets near Tooting Broadway station can grow quickly and crowd light, roofs and boundaries. We provide professional tree felling, crown reduction, tree pruning, stump removal and hedge trimming to suit your garden and your neighbours. Whether you’re dealing with overhanging limbs or a storm-damaged tree, we plan the job to reduce risk and disruption. We cover SW17, including Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway.
The Tooting area is packed with Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with long, narrow rear gardens and shared access. That means tree work needs precision: controlled dismantling, careful lowering and protection for patios, sheds and planting beds. We’re used to working close to party fences and conservatories, and we’ll advise on shaping that keeps trees balanced without stripping them. Our approach suits both compact courtyards and larger plots around Furzedown.
We start with a site visit and a clear written plan, then schedule work for minimal noise and mess. Our team uses modern climbing and rigging techniques, with waste removed and the area left tidy. You’ll get practical guidance on aftercare and future maintenance to keep growth manageable. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, safe working practices and consistent results across SW17.
Working across the London Borough of Wandsworth, we’re familiar with the access challenges of Tooting’s Victorian streets and permit-controlled parking. Many gardens have limited side passages, so we plan equipment, waste removal and vehicle positioning in advance. We also consider how mature trees interact with older brickwork, drains and boundary walls. Where needed, we’ll help you navigate council constraints and neighbour considerations before work begins.

Tree surgery costs in SW17 typically fall between £200 and £2,500 per tree, depending on size, condition and access. Most homeowners in Tooting pay around £300–£1,500 for common jobs like crown reduction, pruning or sectional felling. Stump removal, waste volume, proximity to buildings and whether rigging is required can increase the price. We provide a site-specific quote after assessing the tree and surroundings.
Most tree surgery jobs in Tooting take 1–2 days. Straightforward pruning or hedge trimming can often be completed within a day, while larger fells, complex crown reductions or multiple trees may run into a second day. Timescales depend on access through narrow side passages, the need for controlled lowering, weather conditions and how much timber and chip needs removing. We’ll confirm the schedule after the site visit.
Many routine works such as pruning, crown reduction and hedge trimming don’t need planning permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or formal notice before work starts. We’ll help check the relevant Wandsworth rules and advise on the correct process, so you stay compliant and avoid delays or penalties.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on the tree surgery we carry out, giving you confidence that cuts, shaping and site practices have been completed to a professional standard. This includes issues arising from poor execution, such as incorrect pruning that causes avoidable damage. It doesn’t cover future storm damage, disease progression or problems caused by third parties, but we’ll always explain aftercare to reduce risk.
We tailor the approach to your goals and the tree’s health. Popular options include crown reduction to manage height and spread, selective thinning for more light, formative pruning for younger trees, full removal where necessary, and stump grinding to below ground level. We can also reshape hedges and clear overgrowth along boundaries. We’ll recommend the best option based on structure, species, safety and how you use the space.
