From overhanging branches near Wandsworth Common to tight rear gardens in Earlsfield, tree work in SW18 needs a careful approach.

If you’ve had storm damage, we can respond quickly with emergency tree work.
Wandsworth’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus modern riverside apartments, often means limited access, shared boundaries and mature trees close to buildings. We’re used to working around conservatories, side returns and narrow paths common in Wandsworth Town and Southfields. Whether you need more light into upper rooms or clearance over a driveway, we tailor the cut to the tree and the setting. The aim is always a balanced canopy and long-term tree health, not a quick hack-back.
We start with an on-site assessment, explain your options, and provide a written quote before any cutting begins. Our arborists use professional rigging and lowering techniques to protect fences, patios and planting, and we leave the site clean and safe. All waste can be removed and recycled, and stumps can be ground below surface level for replanting or turfing. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, tidy workmanship and reliable aftercare advice.
The tree surgery Wandsworth area often involves clay soils, mature street trees and gardens with restricted access. We plan for parking and chipper placement, and use compact equipment where paths are narrow. If a tree may be protected, we check constraints and advise on the right next steps before work starts. Our methods suit everything from period terraces to newer developments around Southside Shopping Centre.

Costs vary by height, access, risk and the type of work required. In Wandsworth, typical jobs fall between £300–£1,500 per tree, with smaller pruning or hedge work sometimes from around £200. Larger fells, complex dismantles over buildings, or multiple stumps can reach £2,500 per tree. We’ll assess the tree, discuss options (reduce, prune, or remove), then provide a clear written quote.
Most tree surgery is completed within 1–2 days, depending on the size of the tree and the scope of work. A straightforward crown reduction or prune can often be done in a day, while dismantling a large tree in sections or grinding multiple stumps may take longer. Access in SW18, proximity to buildings, and whether waste removal is included can all affect the final timescale. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Many routine garden works are permitted, but some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or fall within a conservation area, which can require council consent before pruning or felling. In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we’ll ask the right questions, check available records where appropriate, and advise on any applications or notices needed. If permission is required, we can help you prepare the information to submit.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship where applicable, covering issues arising from how the work was carried out (for example, incorrect cuts or poor finishing that leads to avoidable problems). It doesn’t cover future storm damage, disease progression, or changes in ground conditions beyond our control. We’ll explain what’s included for your specific job and provide aftercare guidance to help the tree recover well.
Options depend on the species, condition and your goals. Popular choices include crown reduction to manage size and light, crown lifting for clearance over paths and driveways, selective pruning to remove deadwood or rubbing branches, and full felling where a tree is unsafe or unsuitable. We also offer stump grinding and hedge trimming to finish the job neatly. We’ll recommend the best approach for long-term health and a natural-looking result.
