# Crown Reduction in Wimbledon & Merton

A crown reduction in Wimbledon typically costs £350 to £1,000 and, across most of SW19, requires six weeks’ written notice to Merton Council before work can start. Reduction is by far the most commonly approved form of tree work in Wimbledon’s Conservation Areas, because it retains the canopy the designation exists to protect.

-   Covering SW19 and SW20 — Wimbledon Village, Merton Park, Raynes Park and Colliers Wood
-   Section 211 notices to Merton Council prepared and submitted free
-   All work to BS3998 with written aftercare guidance
-   Careful rigging around period property and glazed structures

## Crown Reductions in Wimbledon & Merton 

Wimbledon Village and the streets around the Common are defined by large Victorian-planted lime, plane and horse chestnut. On these trees, a sympathetic reduction of 1.5 to 2 metres restores light to the garden and takes weight off long lateral limbs without altering the streetscape — precisely the outcome Merton’s tree officers are looking for when they assess a Section 211 notice.

A large share of our SW19 reduction work is driven by neighbours rather than owners: overhanging limbs across a boundary, leaf litter in gutters, or shading over a lawn. We are happy to work with both parties, and we will explain plainly where the legal right to prune to the boundary ends and where you need the tree owner’s cooperation.

Working conditions in the Village are tight. Rigging over glass roofs, conservatories and cars is routine, so we sheet, board and use lowering devices on everything we cut rather than free-dropping material. Where a parking suspension is needed to bring the chipper close enough, we say so in the quote rather than after the fact.
