The Work

Tree removal and stump grinding in Tulse Hill

Tree Felling across Tulse Hill and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Tulse Hill address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.

Where a tree has clear ground to fall into, felling it in one piece is quick and it costs less. Most London gardens do not offer that.

So the tree comes down in sections from the top. Each piece is cut, roped and lowered rather than dropped, which is slower and far more controlled. It is also the reason two trees of the same size can be quoted very differently.

  • Whole-tree felling where there is a safe drop zone
  • Sectional dismantling with ropes and rigging where there is not
  • Protection for lawns, paving and glass underneath the work
  • Timber cut down to a size you can move, or taken away
  • Stump grinding priced in if you want the ground back

What We Do

What tree felling covers

The parts of the job, and what each of them is actually for.

1

Assess the drop

We look at what is under and around the tree, and what the ground will take.

2

Set the rigging

On a sectional take-down, anchor points go in first and every piece comes off on a rope.

3

Work top down

The crown comes off in manageable sections, then the trunk in lifts.

4

Process on site

Brash is chipped, timber is cut and stacked or loaded out.

5

Grind the stump

If it is in the quote, the stump goes below ground level and the hole is backfilled with the grindings.

The Price

Tree Felling costs in Tulse Hill

Two trees of the same height can be very different jobs once you count what sits underneath them and how the timber has to come out. That gets decided standing under the tree, not over the phone, so the quote comes after a free visit and there is no obligation to go ahead.

  • Whole-tree felling versus a roped sectional take-down.
  • How far the timber has to be carried to reach the van.
  • What sits underneath: glass, decking and pond liners all add time.
  • Whether the stump is ground out.

Why Choose Us

Why Tulse Hill calls us back

  • The price comes after we have seen it

    Access decides most of what a tree job costs, and you cannot see access down a phone line. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing that does not move on the day.

  • We finish the job the same day we start it

    The chipper runs alongside the cutting, so there is no stack of brash left by the gate waiting on a second visit.

  • Trees and grounds from one team

    The same crew fells the tree, washes the patio it was dropping on, and lays the turf afterwards. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one garden.

  • You are told when something is a bad idea

    Conifers cut past the green never recover. Gravel over bare soil sinks. Where a job will not give you what you are hoping for, we say so before quoting, not after.

  • You do not pay until you are happy with it

    No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.

FAQs

Tulse Hill tree felling questions

Can you fell a tree close to my house?

Yes. Anything with a building, a boundary or glass beneath it comes down in roped sections from the top rather than being felled whole, which is exactly what the rigging is for.

Will you take the wood away?

That is your call. We can cut it into logs and leave it stacked, or load the lot out. Say which when you get your quote so it is priced correctly.

How deep does stump grinding go?

Below ground level, so you can turf or plant over it. Grinding cannot always clear the whole root plate, and if that matters for what you are planning we will say so on site.

How long does it take to fell a tree?

A straightforward domestic tree with room to work is usually a day. A roped sectional take-down on tight access, where every piece is lowered and carried out by hand, can run into a second day. You will be told which one yours is when you get the quote.

What is left in the ground after felling?

The stump, and the root plate under it. Grinding takes the stump below ground level so you can turf or plant over the top, and it is priced separately because not everybody wants it done.

Who owns a tree growing on the boundary?

It depends where the trunk sits at ground level, not where the branches reach. A trunk straddling the line is usually owned jointly, which means both sides have to agree before it comes down. Worth settling before anyone books work in.
