Our Services
Tree Surgery Services Available in Eltham
A full range of tree surgery and garden services across Eltham, each one
tailored to the tree, the site and what you need. All waste removed, site left
clean and tidy.
Tree Felling & Removal
Safe, complete removal of unwanted or dangerous trees across Eltham. We plan each job around the space available — felling in one piece where possible or dismantling section by section where trees are close to houses, fences or overhead cables.
Crown Reduction & Thinning
Reducing the height and spread of overgrown trees to bring them back to a manageable size, and thinning the canopy to let light and air through. We work to proper pruning standards so the tree stays healthy and balanced.
Dead Branch Removal
Removing dead, dying or snapped branches that could fall and cause injury or damage. This is especially important for trees overhanging paths, driveways and seating areas in Eltham gardens.
Stump Grinding
Grinding old stumps below ground level so you can re-turf, plant or build over the area. Our compact equipment reaches stumps in back gardens through narrow side passages.
Hedge Cutting & Trimming
Keeping Eltham hedges neat and healthy — from a seasonal trim on a privet boundary to reducing tall conifer hedges that have grown too wide or too high. All clippings removed.
Garden Clearance
Clearing overgrown Eltham gardens where trees, shrubs and bramble have taken over. We cut everything back, remove the waste and leave you with a clean, open space to work with.
We also provide garden clearance and pressure washing across Eltham — 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 Eltham
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
Eltham customers with.
Trees Overhanging Paths & Drives
Low branches over paths, driveways and parking areas are a nuisance and a hazard. We raise crowns and remove overhanging branches to clear headroom and protect vehicles from sap and scratches.
Dead or Diseased Trees
Trees affected by decay, honey fungus or storm damage can become unstable. We assess the condition, advise on whether the tree can be saved or needs removal, and carry out the work safely.
Trees Reducing Light
Large trees in Eltham gardens can cast heavy shade, suppressing plants and darkening rooms. We thin and reduce canopies to bring natural light back into your home and garden.
Conifer Removal
Leylandii and other conifers can grow rapidly and outgrow their space. We remove unwanted conifers completely — tree and stump — so you can reclaim the area for something more manageable.

and we know the area well. From the mature trees around Eltham Park to the
conifer boundaries on the estates near New Eltham, we understand the types of
tree issues that come up locally.

Eltham has many mature and protected trees. Some are covered by Tree
Preservation Orders (TPOs) and others sit within Conservation Areas, which
means you need the council's permission before carrying out any work.
What is a TPO?
A Tree Preservation Order is a legal order made by the council to protect specific trees. 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 the council. We never start work on a protected tree without the correct consent.
