How Tree Surgery Is Priced in Croydon

Tree surgery is priced per job, not by a fixed rate. Every tree differs in size, height, condition and access, so the cost is worked out for your specific task. Send photos for an instant online quote, or we survey where needed, and the price is confirmed before the first cut, with nothing added afterwards.

What Croydon Customers Say About the Work

What to Expect From Your Croydon Tree Surgery Visit

The tree is assessed before anything starts. On arrival the arborist checks the tree’s condition and the space around it, agrees the safest way to do the job, and confirms the quote with you before the first cut.

Your garden is protected throughout. Heavy cuts are brought down under control rather than left to drop, mats go over any delicate lawn or paving, and fences, sheds and borders are worked around with care.

The site is left clean and safe. Branches and debris are cleared and taken away, and the garden is left tidy and ready to use as soon as the team leaves.

Every Kind of Tree Job We Take On in Croydon

One awkward tree or a whole boundary, each starts with a proper look by a qualified arborist.

Tree Pruning and Trimming

Our tree pruning and trimming keeps a tree healthy and safe. Dead, diseased and storm-damaged branches are cut cleanly back to the collar, so growth stays strong and more light reaches the garden below.

Crown Reduction, Thinning and Lifting

Crown work comes three ways: reduction to bring an oversized canopy down in size, thinning to open it up for light and airflow, and lifting to clear low branches from a roof, fence or path.

Tree Felling and Removal

When a tree has to go, felling and removal is done in roped sections in tight spots, or straight where there is room. All equipment is included, and the trunk can be cut into firewood logs on request.

Stump Grinding and Removal

Left after a felling, a stump invites pests and new shoots. Stump grinding takes it out above and below ground with a petrol grinder, with almost no disturbance to the lawn around it.

Ivy Trimming and Removal

Ivy lifts roof tiles and works into mortar and render. Ivy trimming and removal either cuts it back or strips it off entirely, treating the roots so it does not simply grow straight back.

Emergency and Storm-Damage Removal

When a tree or heavy limb comes down in a storm, or one is left leaning and unstable, an urgent call-out makes the area safe first, often the same day, then clears what is left. The arborists work in poor weather when it is safe to do so.

Croydon Tree Surgery, Common Questions

Which parts of Croydon do you cover?

We cover the whole borough, from central Croydon, Addiscombe and South Norwood in the north down to Purley, Coulsdon, Sanderstead, Kenley and Selsdon. Enter your CR postcode at the top of the page and you will see the dates open for tree work at your address.

Do I need council permission for tree work in Croydon?

Possibly. Croydon has more than twenty conservation areas, and Purley and Sanderstead in particular carry a lot of Tree Preservation Orders. If your tree is protected or stands in a conservation area, the council needs six weeks of written notice before work begins, and consent for a TPO tree. The arborists check the position and handle the paperwork for you.

What does tree surgery cost in Croydon?

It comes down to the number and size of the trees, how easy they are to reach, and what you want done with the waste. As a rough UK guide, tree surgery runs between £250 and £400, with small jobs coming in lower and large or complex removals higher. You get a firm written price before anything is booked.

Can you work on a tree next to my neighbour's fence?

Yes. By law, branches overhanging your side can be cut back to the boundary line, though it is always worth a quick word with the neighbour first where the work reaches over their garden. The arborists are used to tight boundary jobs and will rig and lower branches so nothing drops where it should not.

What qualifications and insurance do your arborists have?

Every arborist is vetted, trained through the Fantastic Academy, and qualified for the work they carry out. All work meets the BS3998 British Standard, and every job carries public liability cover of up to £1 million from the first cut to the last.

What happens to the branches and waste afterwards?

One black bin bag of green waste is cleared at no extra charge. If there is more than that, the arborists can either shred the branches on site to leave as mulch, or take the whole lot away for a small additional charge, leaving the garden tidy before they go.
