Your local tree surgeons

Plenty of Selsdon gardens back onto the woods, and a tall oak or sweet chestnut near the fence can shade the whole lawn. We mostly cut back overhanging limbs, reduce crowns, fell in sections, trim hedges, grind stumps and come out to storm damage. We cover Selsdon from Littleheath Road and Farley Road up to Old Farleigh Road and Selsdon Wood. When Michael comes to quote he looks into whether your tree has a preservation order, and if it does, you send the council your own application.

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: Selsdon comes under the London Borough of Croydon. If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order, nobody can prune or fell it without the council's written consent. Even when such a tree is dead or dangerous, the council has to be told five days ahead. Before we price the job, Michael checks your tree and tells you whether consent is needed. You make any application yourself.

The trees round here

Littleheath Woods sits right behind the houses off Littleheath Road. A garden tree that was topped in the past often comes back as a crowd of tall, thin stems, and we thin those back to a few good ones, or take the tree down and grind the stump.

Selsdon Wood, off Old Farleigh Road, backs onto plenty of gardens too. On the garden side, the jobs are oaks that have got too big for the plot, conifer screens gone past the bedroom windows and stumps sitting where you want grass.

FAQ

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

How much does a tree surgeon cost in Selsdon?

Every job is different, so Michael prices it after a look: how big the tree is, how near it stands to the house and how much wood has to go. The quote is free, in writing, and the clear-up is included. A WhatsApp photo will get you a ballpark figure first.

Can you reduce a big oak instead of felling it?

Usually, yes. Reducing the crown takes height and spread off the oak, so it stays in the garden but lets more light through and puts less weight over the house. If the oak has a preservation order, consent comes first, and Michael tells you that at the quote.

Do I need permission for tree work in Selsdon?

Only if the tree carries a Tree Preservation Order or grows in a conservation area. Michael checks your tree before we price the work and tells you what is needed. If consent is needed, the application comes from you.

Do you grind out stumps in Selsdon?

Yes. Our grinder fits through a normal side gate and grinds the stump out below the lawn. We take the chip away or rake it in, whichever you prefer, and you can turf straight over once it settles.

Can you come out if a tree comes down in a storm?

Yes, day or night. Ring 07519 952330 if a tree or a heavy limb has landed on the house, the car, a fence or the road. We make it safe first. Once it's safe, we book in the clear-up: cutting up the wood, taking it away and grinding the stump if you'd like.

Which parts of Selsdon do you cover?

All of Selsdon, from Littleheath Road and Farley Road up to Old Farleigh Road, Kingswood Way and Selsdon Wood. Sanderstead, to the west, has its own page, and so does Addington, with Forestdale and New Addington, to the east. Croydon town centre is on our Croydon page.

Do you cut hedges in Selsdon?

Yes. We cut laurel, privet, beech and conifer hedges, front and back, and take every clipping away. Before we start, we look through the hedge for nesting birds and leave any part with a nest in it until the nest is empty.
