The Work

Tree surgery and hedge work in Dulwich

Tree Surgery across Dulwich and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Dulwich address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.

Most trees are not a problem until they are. A leylandii screen that was head height when it went in now takes the sun off half the garden. A limb sits closer to the roof than you are comfortable with, or a neighbour has asked about the branches over their side.

Whatever brought you here, the first step is the same: someone stands under the tree and looks at it properly. You get told what the tree needs, what it does not need, and what it will cost, before any kit comes off the van.

  • A look at the tree on site before any price is given
  • Climbing and roped sectional work where a tree cannot be dropped whole
  • Brash chipped where it falls, so nothing is left stacked by the gate
  • A check on preservation orders and conservation areas before work is booked
  • The site swept and left walkable at the end of the day

How It Runs

Tree surgery in Dulwich, step by step

  1. 1

    You call or send the form

    Tell us the address and roughly what you are looking at. A photo from your phone saves a lot of guessing.

  2. 2

    We come and look

    Access decides most of the price, so it gets seen rather than described. You get the price in writing.

  3. 3

    We check the paperwork

    If the tree carries a preservation order, or sits in a conservation area, consent has to be in place before anyone climbs it.

  4. 4

    The work happens

    Drives and paths get protected, the tree comes down or back in the agreed way, and the chipper runs alongside.

  5. 5

    We clear up

    Chippings stay for your borders if you want them. Otherwise they go with us and the ground gets swept.

The Price

Tree Surgery costs in Dulwich

Access moves the price more than the size of the tree does, and access is the one thing you cannot judge from a description. So every tree job is quoted on site: someone comes out, looks at what is around it and how the timber gets away, and gives you a figure in writing. The visit is free and there is no obligation.

  • Access. A tree beside a clear drive is a different job from one at the bottom of a terraced garden where every piece comes out through the house.
  • Whether it can be felled whole or has to come down in roped sections from the top.
  • What is underneath it. A greenhouse, a conservatory or a neighbour's shed all slow the work down.
  • Whether the stump is ground out or left.
  • Preservation orders and conservation areas, which set a consent period before work can start.

Why Choose Us

Why Dulwich calls us back

  • 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

Dulwich tree surgery questions

Do I need permission to have a tree cut back?

Sometimes. A tree with a preservation order on it, or any tree in a conservation area, needs written consent from the council before work starts. Give us the address when you call and we will tell you what applies before anything is booked in.

What happens to the branches?

They go through the chipper on site. You can keep the chippings for borders and paths, or we load them out with the rest of the arisings.

Will the stump be left behind?

Only if you want it left. Stumps can be ground out after felling so the ground is usable again. Say so when you get your quote and it is priced in.

Do you work in winter?

Yes. Winter is often the better time for felling and heavy reductions, because the tree is dormant and a bare crown is easier and safer to work in.

Can you cut back branches that overhang my garden?

Yes. You are entitled to trim growth that crosses your boundary, back as far as the boundary line but no further. The cuttings legally belong to the tree's owner, so it is worth a word with the neighbour first, and we will say what is reasonable to take when we look at it.

Will machinery damage the lawn?

Ground protection goes down wherever anything heavy has to cross grass, and the chipper works off boards when the ground is soft. Winter jobs on wet clay are the ones to watch, and if we think a lawn will mark we will say so before starting rather than after.
