Crown reduction
Bring a canopy back without turning the tree into a pole. Shape kept, weight taken off.
GPW Trees · London and surrounding
All of the tree. None of the mess.
Crown work, pruning, pollarding, felling, stumps, hedges and storm damage. GPW Trees does every part of the job — from the first look to the last sweep of the path.
All aspects of tree work
Whatever the tree needs, that’s the job.
Not a short menu. If it grows in a London garden and it needs a saw, a rope, or a stump grinder, GPW Trees does it.
Crown thinning & lifting
More light through the crown, and clearance over paths, drives and the neighbour’s roof.
Pruning & deadwood
Dead, diseased and crossing wood out. Fruit trees in the right season. Formative pruning on young trees.
Pollarding
Kept at a height you can live with, on a cycle, instead of a one-off hack.
Felling & dismantling
Sectional takedown where the garden is tight. Whole fell where there is room. Chipper on site.
Stump grinding
The stump goes below ground so the bed, lawn or fence can go back.
Hedges, ivy, planting
Hedges cut or removed. Ivy taken off. A replacement tree planted if you want one in.
Storm damage
Hung-up limbs and trees on the shed. Made safe first. Cleared after. Useful if an insurer asks what happened.
Guide prices · London 2026
A range, then a real quote.
GPW Trees does not publish a fixed tariff — gpwtrees.co.uk has no price list, and no two gardens are the same. These are published London guide ranges so you know the shape of the number before anyone visits.
Small removal
£250–£550
Up to about 15ft. Fruit trees, small ornamentals. Easy access assumed.
Medium removal
£550–£1,200
About 15–30ft. Birch, cherry, smaller sycamore.
Large removal
£1,200–£3,500+
30ft and up. Oak, plane, poplar, large pine. Tight access costs more.
Pruning & crown work
£200–£1,200+
Reduction, thinning, lifting, deadwood. Depends on height and how much comes off.
Stump grinding
£150–£400+
Per stump. Diameter and access move it.
Hedges & call-out
£150–£1,000+
Hedge cutting across that span. Emergency make-safe often starts around £250.
Guides, not a GPW quote. Drawn from 2026 London write-ups by London Tree Surgeons and Graftin Gardeners. A team with a truck and chipper in London is often quoted around £600–£1,500 for a day; GPW prices the job, not the hour. Waste taken away costs more than logs left for the fire. VAT may apply.

Before you book
What changes the number.
Do you only do felling?
No. All aspects: reduction, thinning, lifting, pruning, pollarding, deadwood, felling, dismantling, stumps, hedges, ivy, planting and storm damage.
Why isn’t there one price on gpwtrees.co.uk?
That domain doesn’t publish a tariff. Height, species, access and waste decide it. The ranges above are London guides. Your quote is for your tree.
Can you just cut it?
Not if it’s in a conservation area or has a preservation order. That check happens before the saw comes out.
What happens to the wood?
Taken away, or left as logs if you want them. The quote says which. Taking it away costs more.

Tell GPW the tree and the postcode.
A photo in words is enough. “Plane over the shed, SE6” is a real enquiry.
