Professional Tree Felling in North London

Tree felling is a hazardous job that should always be left to the experts. Before any work can begin, it’s essential to check whether the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a conservation area, as this may require planning permission from the local council. Our arborists are NPTC-qualified and fully insured, giving you complete peace of mind. We offer a range of felling services using specialised techniques that allow us to safely remove trees from even the tightest of spaces.

When and Why Full Tree Removal Is Needed

Sometimes there is no other option but to fully remove a tree. Our specialised team can remove trees while taking into account the hazards involved in this process. We always conduct a thorough site survey with our customers first and safely remove diseased trees that pose a risk to property. Tree removal in North London requires specialist care to avoid damage to the surrounding area. Trees are often removed in sections, ensuring that the utmost care is taken to guarantee a safe and careful removal.

Stump Grinding in Hackney & North London

For those who want to update their garden, expand a patio, plant a new tree or lay a new lawn, stump grinding could be the ideal solution. We use specialised equipment to grind the stump down below ground level, leaving the surface clear and stable for future landscaping. This method is far less disruptive than more invasive removal techniques and is the most practical way to deal with unwanted stumps.

FAQ’s

Will tree removal equipment fit through my house?

Our narrow-access grinder is designed to fit through standard doorways with a frame width of at least 67cm. Wherever possible, we aim to use alternative access points such as side gates or garden entrances before considering access through a property. If access is limited, our team will work with you to find the most practical solution. We always recommend scheduling a site survey first so we can assess the best approach for your property. 

Do I need stump grinding or removal?

If a tree stump is in the way, creating a trip hazard, or preventing you from replanting or landscaping, then stump grinding is the best solution. Stumps can also host fungal pathogens, which occasionally spread to other trees and plants, so removing them can help maintain a healthier garden environment. Stump grinding is a fast process that causes minimal disruption, making it the most practical and efficient way to deal with an unwanted stump.

What if my tree is very close to other buildings?

When trees grow close to homes, garages, or other structures, extra care is needed. The first step is always to check with your local authority in North London to see if there is a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or your are within a conservation area, as permission may be required before any work can take place. Our team can help with this process and carry out a full site inspection to assess the safest way to proceed. Using specialist equipment and proven techniques, we can manage trees in tight or sensitive locations safely and efficiently.

How can I tell if my tree is dead or dying?

There are several signs that a tree may be in decline. Common indicators include cracks or splits in the trunk, bark that is brittle or peeling away, fungal fruiting bodies on the roots or stem, disturbance of the root plate, lack of vigour, or sections of the crown dying back. These symptoms don’t always mean a tree must be removed — in many cases, management techniques can help prolong its life and reduce risks. If removal is necessary, we will ensure it is carried out in a safe and professional manner.
