Trees and gardens in Richmond
Richmond is one of the leafiest places in London. The Georgian and Victorian houses on Richmond Hill, around the Green and down towards Petersham sit among mature limes, London planes, horse chestnuts, cedars and oaks, many of them planted more than a century ago and now well above the rooflines.
With Richmond Park on one side and Kew Gardens on the other, garden trees here grow big and grow fast, and the jobs we are asked about most are crown reductions, lifting over drives and paths, and deadwood out of old trees over gardens people sit in.
