RELIABLE TREE CARE FOR HEALTHIER, SAFER GREEN SPACES
Trees add character, shade and a sense of calm to Balham’s streets and gardens. But without proper care, they can become a problem—overgrown branches blocking light, weakened limbs posing safety risks or diseases spreading before you even notice. That’s where we come in.
At Down To Earth Trees, we don’t just work with trees—we understand them. Our team has been looking after trees across South East England for decades, making sure they stay healthy, safe and looking their best. Whether you need a tree trimmed, a stump removed or expert advice on managing your green space, we’ve got it covered.
TREE MAINTENANCE THAT WORKS FOR YOU
Every tree needs attention at some point. Maybe it’s growing too close to a building, maybe it’s not thriving like it used to or maybe you’re not sure what it needs at all. Our expert tree surgeons in Balham assess each tree carefully and recommend exactly what’s needed—nothing more, nothing less.
Pruning and Shaping: Keeps trees healthy, removes weak or damaged branches and improves structure. Done right, it also enhances the overall look of your space.
Tree Removal: If a tree is unsafe, diseased or causing issues, we handle removals efficiently and safely, ensuring minimal disruption.
Stump Grinding: No one wants an old stump sitting in the way. We remove them quickly, leaving the area clear and ready for whatever’s next.
Caring for trees means knowing when to act and when to leave things alone. Some trees need regular work, while others thrive best with minimal interference. We provide professional tree inspections, helping you understand the health of your trees and what they need to stay strong.
And if a storm hits and leaves you with a fallen or damaged tree? We’re here 24/7 for emergency tree work, handling hazardous situations before they get worse.

We’ve used Down to Earth for several years after a recommendation from a neighbour. They’ve done a variety of jobs from taking down two inherited overgrown confers to general pruning and tidying up of trees and bushes. They always do the work exactly as agreed after an on-site visit, giving good advice, they’re very efficient, clear up thoroughly, and are always friendly. We’d strongly recommend them.
A very professional done by very pleasant friendly people. (and they left the garden all clean and tidy - and many do not do that!) We would highly recommend them
Great communication, knowledge and patience with members of the public asking lots of questions. Great machine to relieve deep compaction after events
Likable, professional team of 3 turned up on the day, did a fantastic job (they have a really good sense of aesthetics). Very pleased, will definitely be using them again.
Excellent service, very slick. Took down large diseased ash, cut up and removed debris, and cleared up afterwards. Great work by the team. Would recommend.
An excellent and very thorough haircut for a large cedar tree carried out by a very professional and pleasant team. All done on schedule and everything left clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
Great service and very impressed by the skill and speed of the team. All priced very competitively. Would highly recommend.
Second time I have used them. Thoroughly professional - they give good advice, easy to deal with. First time a year ago was a really big job, so pleased I used them. Thoroughly recommend.
An unpleasant job, taming the leylandii trees which we had inherited and had been allowed to do their own thing for too long! We are grateful to our friends who recommended "Down to Earth" and we are very happy to say to anyone else who reads this, that from Andy who came to give us a very reasonable estimate, and Frankie's team who did skilful and beautiful job, we couldn't be happier. Very nice people too!
Excellent service, professional team, very large job bringing down dead sequoia; handled the job very well, cleared everything up, went above and beyond what we expected
Down To Earth were great. They did an excellent job from start to finish. Good customer service. Excellent team on site who did a fantastic job that went beyond my hopes and cleared up after themselves in an extremely thorough way.
An excellent job from start to finish, arrived on time and did a great job at clearing up afterwards. Worked the whole time they were here and couldn’t be happier with the results!
Exceptional service from start to finish. The job was carried out (non-stop working by the crew!) at the exact time agreed with all the remnants cleared up and taken away. They even ended up clearing my patio!
Another excellent job from Down to Earth trees. They have carried out all pruning and planting a new hedge in my garden for many years and I would never use anyone else. They are reliable, everything is cleared at the end of the job and all the staff from start to finish are polite and professional. I was happy with the quotation given. The 2 guys who carried out the latest work were very pleasant and listened to what I said before beginning the work. I would definitely recommend them.
I have been most impressed with DTE's professionalism and integrity. The scope of work I proposed I discussed was reduced as it wasnt all needed, and the work itself was carried out to a high standard
I had my trees done recently and the four gentlemen did a great job. Very professional and cleared all fallen debris at the end. Will definitely use the company again.
This is an excellent company to do business with. Their quote was thorough and very competitive. The team turned up on time and were very professional, polite and respectful of both our property and our garden. The work undertaken, (tree prunning and removal of a large shrub), was carried out to a high standard and everything was left very tidy. I can only recommend this company for their excellent service.
This company is outstanding in professionalism, care and efficiency, so we didn’t hesitate in using for this job. The weather was bad on the day of the booking and we thought they might postpone the work, but they didn’t. Our job involved varied work - trees, bushes and hedges. Everything is in much better shape now. Thanks, again to Down to Earth.
I have used this company on 3 occasions now. I have found all staff including administrative and the tree surgeons themselves to be consistently efficient, polite and informative. They have always arrived at the arranged time and date, completed the work effectively and well and left the garden clean and clear of all cuttings. Have recommended to neighbours and friends.
Fantastic from start to finish, from the quoting process, application to local council for approval, and the people on site doing the work. Had two trees taken out, one planted and general hedge height reduction work done. Superb team, cleaned up after themselves, very polite to me and neighbours. Will be using again. Thank you!
Had Ben along for a tree survey and risk assessment. Very professional and knowledgeable. Inspected every aspect of our spinney. Would highly recommend!
