Our Services
Tree Surgery Services Available in Bickley
A full range of tree surgery and garden services across Bickley, each one
tailored to the tree, the site and what you need. All waste removed, site left
clean and tidy.
Crown Reduction & Management
Bickley has some of the largest and most established garden trees in the area. We carry out careful crown reductions to bring oversized trees back to a manageable size while preserving their health, character and natural shape.
Sectional Tree Dismantling
When a tree needs to be removed from a Bickley garden, we take it apart piece by piece — using ropes and rigging to lower each section safely. This protects lawns, planting, greenhouses and neighbouring properties below.
Crown Thinning & Deadwooding
Removing selected branches from within the canopy to reduce wind resistance and let light through. We also remove dead wood that could fall, which is essential for the large mature trees common in Bickley.
Stump Grinding
Grinding stumps below ground level so the area can be re-turfed or replanted. Our compact equipment reaches stumps in large back gardens without disturbing established borders or paving.
Hedge Maintenance
Trimming, reducing and reshaping hedges across Bickley — from formal yew and box to tall boundary beech and privet. All clippings cleared and removed from site.
Garden Clearance
Bickley gardens can become heavily overgrown when trees and shrubs are left to grow unchecked. We clear bramble, ivy, dead wood and accumulated green waste to bring neglected gardens back to life.
We also provide garden clearance and pressure washing across Bickley — ideal for reclaiming overgrown gardens or freshening up tired outdoor surfaces after tree work.

Tree Work We Help With
Common Tree Problems We Solve in Bickley
Whatever tree situation you are dealing with, we have the experience and
equipment to sort it out. Here are some of the most common problems we help
Bickley customers with.
Large Mature Trees
Bickley is known for its substantial garden trees — oaks, limes, beech and chestnut — many of which have grown to a significant size. We have the rigging equipment and climbing experience to manage them safely.
Trees in Conservation Areas
Parts of Bickley fall within Conservation Areas and many trees are protected by TPOs. We advise on permissions and carry out work only with the correct consent from the council.
Trees Overhanging Boundaries
Large trees on Bickley boundaries often spread over neighbouring properties. We carry out careful pruning and reduction to manage the spread while keeping good relations with neighbours.
Storm & Winter Damage
After high winds, Bickley's mature trees can lose limbs or develop splits. We make dangerous trees safe, remove broken branches and carry out remedial pruning to prevent further damage.

Local Tree Surgeons Covering Bickley
We carry out tree work in Bickley regularly, which means we can get to you
quickly and we know the area well. From the mature trees on the roads around
Bickley Park to the woodland-edge gardens backing onto Bromley Common, we
understand the types of tree issues that come up locally.
Being local also means you can pick up the phone and speak to us directly. We
are happy to visit, take a look and give you honest, practical advice about
what your tree needs — whether that is a reduction, a careful prune or complete
removal.
Parts of Bickley fall within Conservation Areas and many trees are
individually protected by Tree Preservation Orders. The council must give
consent before any work is carried out. We can guide you through the process.
What is a TPO?
A Tree Preservation Order is a legal order made by the council to protect specific trees or woodland. It makes it an offence to cut down, top, lop or damage a protected tree without consent.
Conservation Areas
Trees in Conservation Areas are also protected. You must give the council six weeks' notice before carrying out work, giving them time to decide whether the tree should be protected by a TPO.
How We Help
We can advise you on whether your tree is likely to be protected, explain the process and help you prepare the information you need for Bromley Council. We never start work on a protected tree without the correct consent.
