From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we carry out professional removals across SM4. Our team works regularly near Morden Hall Park and around Morden station, where access can be tight and neighbours close by. We plan each job to protect fences, sheds, patios and nearby planting. Emergency call-outs and insurance work are available when safety is urgent.
Morden’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates and newer developments often means narrow side passages, shared drives and established boundary trees. In Morden Park and Lower Morden, we frequently dismantle trees in sections to avoid damage to conservatories and garages. For properties with limited storage, we prioritise efficient waste removal and site clearance. If roots have lifted paving or affected lawns, stump removal can be scheduled straight after felling.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and a clear method statement, then choose the safest approach: tree felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling where it doesn’t. Stump grinding is completed to an agreed depth, with arisings removed or retained if you want mulch. We leave the area swept and usable, with waste responsibly disposed of. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, careful workmanship and fully insured crews.
We’re used to Morden’s clay-heavy soils, which can encourage shallow roots and heave in wet weather. Parking and access vary street to street, so we plan chipper placement, loading and neighbour considerations in advance. Where rear access is limited, we bring compact equipment and use controlled lowering techniques. As experienced tree removal contractors in London Borough of Merton, we also factor in local constraints such as conservation areas and protected trees.

Costs depend on size, access, and whether the tree can be felled or must be dismantled. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£500, medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200, and large or complex sectional dismantles can be £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350. Emergency call-outs and crane/MEWP hire, if needed, will increase costs.
Many small trees can be removed within 2–4 hours, including tidy-up and waste removal. Medium jobs often take half a day to a full day, while large sectional dismantles may run 1–2 days depending on rigging, access and proximity to buildings. Stump grinding usually adds 30–90 minutes per stump. Weather, parking constraints and required traffic/pedestrian management can affect timings.
Often, you won’t need permission to remove a garden tree, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or formal notice before work starts. We can help check protections and advise on the correct process. For emergency safety work, rules can differ, and we document the condition carefully.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed aspects of the completed work, such as stump grinding to the specified depth and proper site clearance as quoted. If an issue arises that relates to our workmanship, we’ll return to inspect and put it right. Natural factors outside our control—such as new growth from adjacent roots or future storm damage—aren’t covered, but we’ll always advise on prevention.
After removal, you can choose several finish options depending on how you want to use the space. Popular choices include topsoil and re-turfing, replanting with a smaller ornamental tree, creating a new border, or extending a patio or path where roots previously caused issues. We can also leave woodchip for mulching if you’d like. We’ll recommend the best option based on drainage, shade and your garden plans.
