Tree Surgery Project in Hampstead
Mature Oak Tree Crown Reduction – South End Green, Hampstead
One of our recent projects involved a large mature oak tree in South End Green, Hampstead, located in the rear garden of a Victorian property close to Hampstead Heath.
The tree had grown significantly over the years and was:
-
Overhanging neighbouring properties
-
Blocking natural light to the garden
-
Creating excessive leaf fall in gutters
Because the property sits within a Hampstead conservation area, the work required careful planning and compliance with local regulations.
Work completed
Our arborist team completed:
• A 20% crown reduction to reduce weight and wind resistance
• Selective deadwood removal for safety
• Careful pruning to maintain the tree's natural shape
• Full clean up and responsible waste removal
All work was carried out using specialist climbing equipment to avoid damage to the garden below.
The result
The tree now:
-
Allows significantly more light into the property
-
Maintains its natural structure and health
-
Presents less risk during high winds
The client was particularly pleased that the tree could be safely reduced without removing it entirely, preserving the mature landscape that makes Hampstead gardens so special.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tree Surgeons in Hampstead
Do I need permission to remove a tree in Hampstead?
Possibly. Many trees in Hampstead are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or located within conservation areas. If this applies, you may need permission from the local council before work can begin. Our team can check this for you and help with the application process.
Can you remove tree stumps in Hampstead gardens?
Yes. We use specialist stump grinding equipment to remove stumps quickly and efficiently, even in gardens with limited access. Stump grinding prevents regrowth and allows you to replant or landscape the area.
Do you carry out tree work near Hampstead Heath?
Yes, we regularly work in properties close to Hampstead Heath, as well as surrounding areas such as Belsize Park, Frognal, and South Hampstead. Our team understands the care required when working near mature trees and historic landscapes.
Do you cover all areas around Hampstead for tree surgery?
Yes, our arborists regularly carry out tree work across Hampstead and the surrounding neighbourhoods. We frequently attend properties in Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, Frognal, South End Green, West Hampstead and Gospel Oak, as well as areas near Hampstead Heath, Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill, providing services such as tree pruning, removals and hedge trimming.
