Tree removal in Coulsdon
If a tree is dead, splitting, too close to the house or just not right for the garden any more, we take it out. Where the ground allows we fell it in one controlled drop; on tight plots we climb it, cut it in sections and lower each one on ropes. Sloping gardens on the valley sides and up toward Old Coulsdon need extra care with where timber lands, so we plan the rigging before the first cut. Tree removal · Tree felling.
Stump grinding
Once a tree is down, the stump can be ground out 150 to 300mm below the surface, or further where a path or bed is planned, which stops it sprouting and lets you turf or plant over it. The grinders fit through an ordinary garden gate or down a side passage. Send a photo and we can usually give you a price. Stump grinding explained.
Coulsdon gardens are mostly on thin, chalky soil, which suits beech, yew, whitebeam, ash and field maple. In practice that means shallow-rooted trees on slopes, conifer screens that now tower over the house, and big old boundary trees.
What that means for jobs: careful removal of trees that have started to lean on a slope, reductions on overgrown conifers and garden trees, deadwood out of older trees near paths and drives, stump grinding after a removal so a lawn or patio can go down, and hedges trimmed back off pavements. With ash dieback spreading nationally, a thin-crowned ash beside a road or a house is worth having looked at.

The things people around Coulsdon ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.
It depends on the height and spread of the tree, what is underneath it and how the timber has to come out, so we price every removal after seeing it. A small tree in an open garden is a modest job; a big conifer beside a house on a slope takes more people and more time. Stump grinding and clearing the waste can go on the same quote.

Sometimes. Coulsdon is in the London Borough of Croydon. A tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs the council's permission before it is pruned or felled, and in Old Coulsdon's Bradmore Green conservation area you must give six weeks' written notice. We find out whether your tree is protected before we price the job and tell you if you need to apply, so the work is legal from the start.
The size of the stump, the kind of tree and how easy it is to reach all affect the price. A WhatsApp photo with something for scale usually lets us quote without a visit. If we are removing the tree too, grinding the stump straight after is the simplest and cheapest way to do it.
Yes. Old Coulsdon, Bradmore Green and the roads out toward Coulsdon Common and Caterham on the Hill are part of this page. Bradmore Green is a conservation area, and Michael checks whether your tree sits in it before any work.
The town centre and the roads off Brighton Road, Smitham, the Cane Hill estate, the Farthing Downs and Happy Valley side, Old Coulsdon and Coulsdon Common's edges. North toward the Webb Estate and Woodcote is on our Purley page; north-east, around Kenley Common, is Kenley; south down the A23 is Netherne & Hooley; and the Chipstead lanes are on our Woodmansterne page.
Yes. We climb and rope rather than relying on machines that a slope cannot take, and we lower cut wood on lines instead of dropping it, so nothing rolls down into the house, a fence or next door. Where a climb is not safe, the tracked lift can handle the job.
No. Those trees are looked after by the rangers and the council, so problems with them go there. If branches from the common overhang your garden, we can explain what you are allowed to cut back from your side.
Leylandii and spruces that have been left to grow will not regrow from bare brown wood, so a big cut back can leave them looking dead. Sometimes a careful height reduction works; often taking them out and replanting is the better long-term answer. We will tell you which, honestly, when we see them.
Yes, always. We chip the brash, cut the trunk into manageable logs and leave the garden swept. Want the logs for a stove or the chip for your borders? Tell us and we will leave them where you want.
Yes, 24 hours a day. If a tree comes down across a garden, a drive or a road, or a split limb is hanging over the house, ring 07519 952330 whatever the time. We make it safe first, then clear and grind out the stump once the danger has passed.
