Sanderstead gardens often have mature oaks, beeches or pines, plus leylandii and laurel screens that have grown too tall. We mostly cut back screens and hedges, reduce big trees, fell in sections, grind stumps and take emergency callouts around the clock. We cover Sanderstead from Sanderstead Hill and Limpsfield Road up to Purley Downs. Michael checks orders and conservation rules first. Consent, when needed, is yours to request.

The trees here are a mix: oaks, beeches and pines around Sanderstead Plantation and Purley Downs, flowering cherries on the village roads, and leylandii or laurel screens that have had decades to get away.
The work here is a mix to match: crown reductions on trees that have grown over a roof or blocked the light, sectional removals where gardens are tight against the house, pollarding where a tree needs keeping in check, and boundary hedges brought back within the green. Steep downs gardens mean we bring ground boards and the tracked lift when a lawn or a slope cannot take a truck.
Recent jobs.
The things people around Sanderstead, Purley and the Croydon downs ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.
It depends on the size and species of the tree and how much you want taken off, so we price each crown reduction in Sanderstead on site rather than guess. Reductions are skilled, repeat work, and because we climb and rig wherever we can rather than hire in access, our quotes stay keen. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Sometimes. Sanderstead sits in the London Borough of Croydon, and the council can protect a tree here with a Tree Preservation Order. Michael checks whether your tree has an order or sits in a conservation area before quoting and tells you if you need to apply. You make any application yourself.
Yes. Purley sits west and southwest of Sanderstead and has its own page: see the Purley page. Selsdon is the eastern neighbour, and it has its own page too: see the Selsdon page. If you are firmly in Purley, use the Purley page; the shared downs edges are covered from both.
It depends on the length, height and how overgrown the hedge is, so we price hedge cutting in Sanderstead on site rather than guess. A regular trim is one job; bringing a neglected leylandii or laurel screen back within the green is another. Quotes are free and without obligation.
We come up the A22 and A23 from our Horley base most weeks, so quote visits are usually within a day or two, most jobs are booked in within a couple of weeks depending on the season, and a dangerous or storm-damaged tree gets a same-day response. Call 07519 952330 at any hour.
It depends on the size of the tree or hedge, how easy it is to reach and how much waste there is to clear, so we price each job properly rather than guess. We come and look rather than quote blind. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Yes. A lot of Sanderstead work is downs gardens that fall away from the house. Everything is rigged and lowered in sections rather than dropped, we use the tracked lift where a climb is not the safe option, and we protect the ground on the way in and out.
Always, and it is included in the quote. Brash is chipped, timber is cut into logs and the garden is cleared before we leave. Plenty of people keep the logs for the wood burner; just say so and we will stack them where you want them.
Yes, 24 hours a day. A limb down over a drive or a tree leaning towards the house cannot wait. Call 07519 952330 and we will make it safe first, then sort the full removal or repair once the immediate danger is dealt with.
“Michael arrived promptly with his team.Everyone was very polite and professional, excellent job completed .Would highly recommend and will definitely use Michael and his team again”
“Michael and his team were quick and efficient in their work with a good price too. Couldn't ask for more.”

The jobs we do most weeks in Sanderstead and on the Croydon downs: careful crown reductions on mature garden trees, safe felling when a conifer or garden tree has to come down, and hedges reshaped and brought back within the green.

On the bigger downs gardens around All Saints' and Limpsfield Road we take height and weight out so light gets back in, without spoiling the tree's shape. Priced on site, not guessed.
Tree felling & removal
Tall conifers and garden trees that have grown too close to the house come down in sections with proper rigging, waste cleared as we go. The Purley-side conifer in the photos is typical of the work.
Hedge cutting & reshaping
Boundary leylandii, laurel and beech screens around Sanderstead and the Croydon downs are cut, squared and reduced in stages. Cuttings leave with us.
