If a tree is blocking light, damaging paving, or has become unsafe, we can remove it quickly and responsibly. Our team works across SW18, including around Southfields tube station and Wimbledon Park, with equipment suited to tight gardens and shared access. From single-tree jobs to larger clearances, we keep neighbours informed and noise to a minimum. All timber, brash and debris are removed and the site left clean.
Southfields is a leafy suburb with mature trees and varied garden layouts, especially around Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. These properties often have narrow side returns, delicate brick boundaries and established planting that needs protecting. We plan lifting points, lowering routes and ground protection so lawns, patios and borders aren’t churned up. Homeowners in Wimbledon Park and Earlsfield also value discreet working during busy periods such as Wimbledon fortnight.
We start with a site survey, risk assessment and a clear method statement, then choose the safest approach: tree felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling when it doesn’t. Stump grinding and stump removal are available to prevent regrowth and free up space for replanting or landscaping. We’re fully insured and experienced with insurance work following storm damage. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and a documented finish you can trust.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means planning for controlled access, resident parking rules and busy roads near Southfields Grid. Many SW18 gardens have narrow side passages and shared alleys, so we use compact kit and careful lowering to protect fences and neighbouring property. Ground conditions can vary between lawns and hard landscaping, so we lay protection and manage chip and sawdust properly. We also factor in proximity to parks such as King George's Park when scheduling and managing footfall.

Costs in Southfields vary with height, spread, access and whether the tree needs sectional dismantling. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600. Medium trees commonly fall between £600–£1,500, while large or complex removals near buildings can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is usually £120–£450 depending on size and number. We provide a site-specific quote after a survey.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day to a full day, including waste removal. Larger trees, restricted access, or sectional dismantling over sheds and conservatories can take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes per stump, but multiple stumps or deep roots will add time. Weather, parking/loading distance and the need for traffic or pedestrian management can also affect the schedule.
Most tree work on private gardens doesn’t need planning permission, 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. If it’s an emergency due to immediate danger, different rules can apply. We check the relevant Wandsworth records, advise on the correct route, and keep paperwork straightforward.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on relevant landscaping reinstatement we complete as part of the job (such as making good surfaces and agreed ground repairs). For stump grinding, the aim is to remove the stump to the specified depth; we confirm this in writing and return if the agreed scope hasn’t been met. Natural factors like new self-seeded growth nearby aren’t covered, but we’ll advise on prevention.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding to below ground level for turfing, replanting or paving, or full stump removal if you need a deeper excavation for foundations. Many clients opt for fresh topsoil and reseeding, new borders, or a replacement tree suited to smaller SW18 gardens. We can also supply log retention (for firewood) or full waste removal. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, drainage and how you use the space.
