Your local tree surgeons

Gardens round Croydon town centre are often small and boxed in by flats, walls and offices, but the trees in them still grow full size. Most jobs here are sectional felling, crown reductions off roofs and windows, hedge trimming, stump grinding and emergency callouts. We cover the town, from Broad Green and Wandle Park down to Chatsworth Road. Several conservation areas sit around the centre. Michael checks whether yours is affected, and you apply if needed.

What we do

From a single limb to a whole plot cleared, one team and one number. Tap a service for the detail.

Protected trees: Trees in Croydon are protected by Croydon Council. Any tree under a Tree Preservation Order can only be pruned or felled with the council's written consent, and even a dead or dangerous one needs five days' notice to the council first. Central Croydon, Church Street, Croydon Minster, Wellesley Road (North) and Chatsworth Road are all conservation areas, and there six weeks' written notice must reach the council before work starts. Before we quote, Michael checks whether your tree has an order or sits in a conservation area, and tells you what is needed. Any application or notice is sent by you, as the owner, and the council suggests doing it through the Planning Portal.

The trees round here

Big trees in a town garden usually need a crown reduction, or pruning every few years, to keep them off the house.

Round Chatsworth Road the roads are wide and mostly tree-lined, and the houses sit in bigger plots. That is a conservation area, so the six weeks' notice has to be given before we start. Nearer the centre it is mostly small gardens: a sycamore that has seeded by a wall, conifers gone too tall, or an old stump in the way.

FAQ

The things people around Croydon ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.

How much does a tree surgeon cost in Croydon?

It depends on the tree, how we get the wood out and what is underneath it. A tree over a conservatory or a busy pavement takes longer than one in an open lawn. We price it on a visit, in writing, with the waste cleared, and a WhatsApp photo gets you a rough idea sooner.

Can you take a tree down when it's right up against a building?

Yes. We climb it and dismantle it in small pieces, lowering each one on a rope so nothing hits the wall, the windows or the roof. If there is a pavement or a road under it, we talk it through with you first and keep people clear while we work.

Do I need permission for tree work in Croydon?

Sometimes. Some Croydon trees carry Tree Preservation Orders, and Central Croydon, Church Street, Croydon Minster, Wellesley Road (North) and Chatsworth Road are conservation areas, where you must give six weeks' notice. We find out about your tree before quoting and tell you if anything is needed. The application or notice is yours to send, and the council's preferred route is the Planning Portal.

How much does hedge trimming cost in Croydon?

We price on the length and height, how thick it has grown and whether we can reach both sides. Every clipping is bagged up and removed, and that's included. Send a photo with a door or a fence in it so we can judge the scale.

Do you do emergency tree removal in Croydon?

Yes, at any hour. If a tree or a big branch is down on a house, a car, a fence or the road, ring 07519 952330. First we make it safe. Then we come back to cut up and clear the wood, and grind the stump if you want it gone.

Which parts of Croydon do you cover?

The town, from Broad Green and Wandle Park down to Chatsworth Road and Park Lane. Thornton Heath has its own page, and so do Purley and Sanderstead to the south. Wallington, to the west, is on our Wallington page. Selsdon and Addington, out to the south-east, have pages of their own.

Can you grind out a stump in a small back garden?

Yes. The grinder fits through most side gates and passages, and it takes the stump down below the surface. We rake the chip in or take it away, and the ground is ready for turf, paving or a new tree.
