Tree Felling in Wimbledon & Merton
The Wimbledon tree stock is dominated by the mature oak, lime and horse chestnut planted around the Common and along the Victorian avenues of SW19. These are big, heavy, brittle trees, and almost all of them stand close to high-value property, so the felling method is conservative: climb, section, rig every limb to the ground, and protect the lawn with boards before the chipper comes anywhere near it.
Access is the defining constraint. The tall terraces off the Broadway and the narrow lanes of the Village leave very little room to manoeuvre, and parking suspensions are sometimes needed to get a chipper and tipper close enough to work efficiently. We factor that into the quote rather than surprising you with it — and where a rear garden can only be reached through the house, we sheet the route and carry out by hand.
Merton Council’s Conservation Area coverage across Wimbledon is extensive, and the Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators have their own remit for trees on and adjoining the Common. We identify which body has jurisdiction before quoting, submit the Section 211 notice or TPO application for you, and hold the job in the diary until consent is confirmed.
