Who we are

Trees, lawns, drives and patios

B & V Tree & Landscape Services works on gardens and grounds across London. Most of what we do starts as a tree that has got too big for where it was planted, and finishes with the ground around it put back properly.

That is why the four things we offer sit together. There is not much point taking a leylandii screen down to head height and leaving the green stain it has been dripping onto your patio for a decade, or clearing a plot and leaving you standing in mud.

Everything gets quoted after a look on site, cut with the right kit for the access, and cleared before we leave.

How We Work

From your first call to a swept site

The same five steps whether it is one conifer or a whole garden.

  1. Step 01

    Tell us what you need

    Ring or send the form, with a photo of the job if you have one. Any of the four trades, and a rough idea is enough to start.

  2. Step 02

    We come and quote on site

    Every job is seen before it is priced, because access and ground conditions decide most of the cost. The visit is free and you are under no obligation.

  3. Step 03

    You get the price and a date

    Itemised and in writing, with a day that suits you. The figure is fixed: it does not change on the day unless you change the job.

  4. Step 04

    We do the work

    You are told beforehand what we need from you, which is usually no more than a car off the drive and a gate left unlocked. No deposit is taken.

  5. Step 05

    You check it, then you pay

    Be there at the end and walk the job with us. Nothing is asked for until the work is finished and you are satisfied with it.

Fruit & Ornamental Trees

Apple, pear, cherry and conifer pruning

September to February is our busiest stretch for tree work.

Apple and pear are the trees we get asked about most, and the ones a bit of care shows on quickest. A tree that has been left for a few years puts its growth into height and congestion rather than fruit, and thinning it out changes what you pick the following season.

Cherry, conifer and silver birch are all regular work too. Each wants handling differently, and the right time of year is not the same for all of them, so we will tell you when yours is best done rather than cutting whatever is in front of us.

  • Apple and pear, thinned and shaped rather than just reduced
  • Cherry pruned at the right point in the year for the tree
  • Conifers topped and hedges pruned back to a line
  • Silver birch and other ornamentals carefully pruned
  • Everything cut goes through the chipper before we leave

Why Choose Us

Why choose B & V

  • The price comes after we have seen it

    Access decides most of what a tree job costs, and you cannot see access down a phone line. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing that does not move on the day.

  • We finish the job the same day we start it

    The chipper runs alongside the cutting, so there is no stack of brash left by the gate waiting on a second visit.

  • Trees and grounds from one team

    The same crew fells the tree, washes the patio it was dropping on, and lays the turf afterwards. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one garden.

  • You are told when something is a bad idea

    Conifers cut past the green never recover. Gravel over bare soil sinks. Where a job will not give you what you are hoping for, we say so before quoting, not after.

  • You do not pay until you are happy with it

    No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.

FAQs

Common questions

Which areas do you cover?

London and the surrounding boroughs, including Nunhead, New Cross, Brixton, Streatham, Tulse Hill, Sydenham, Forest Hill, South Norwood and 22 more. The full list is in the footer and on the contact page. If you are just outside it, ring 0208 485 7674 and ask.

How do I get a price?

Call or send the enquiry form with your address and a rough description, then someone comes out and looks at the job. Every quote is done on site, because access and what sits under a tree change the price more than the tree itself does. The visit is free and you are under no obligation.

What happens to all the waste?

Everything we cut goes through the chipper on site. You can keep the chippings for borders and paths if they are useful to you, or we load them out and take them away with the rest.

Do I need permission before a tree is cut?

Possibly. A tree carrying a preservation order, or any tree standing in a conservation area, needs written consent from the council before work starts. Give us the address when you get in touch and we will tell you what applies before anything is booked.

Do you take on small jobs as well as big ones?

Yes. A single overgrown conifer and a full site clearance are both normal weeks. Tell us what you have and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth a visit or whether you could sort it yourself.

Can you give me a price over the phone?

No, and that is deliberate. Small jobs are the ones that catch people out: a hedge that sounds like an hour on the phone turns out to be a day once you see the access and how much has to come away. So every job gets looked at first. The visit is free, there is no obligation, and the figure you are given is the figure you pay.
