Tree Surgery in Harraby
Carlisle Tree Surgeons covers Harraby with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Harraby and the neighbouring estates of Upperby, Botcherby and Durranhill make up much of south-east Carlisle. The River Petteril winds through on its way to the Eden, and the houses built here from the 1930s onwards now have gardens with mature birches, cherries, sycamores and conifer screens that have long outgrown their plots.
Our teams cover the whole of south-east Carlisle, from Harraby Green and London Road to Upperby, Botcherby, Durranhill and the streets around Hammond’s Pond.

Garden Trees That Have Outgrown Their Plots
The most common jobs here are conifers and leylandii screens that now tower over the house, birches and cherries shading small gardens, and self-sown sycamores that have shot up along back fences. Reducing them in good time is usually cheaper than taking them down later.
Gardens are often enclosed with side access only, so timber is carried out in manageable pieces and stumps are ground out with narrow machines that fit through a garden gate.
Conservation Areas and Protected Trees Nearby
Most of Harraby is not in a conservation area, but there are small conservation areas close by at Victoria Road and Wood Street in Botcherby, and at Botchergate on the way into the city centre. Some trees across south-east Carlisle also have Tree Preservation Orders, particularly on newer developments where trees were protected as a planning condition.
Inside a conservation area, any tree with a trunk more than 75mm across (measured 1.5 metres up) is protected, and the council has to be given six weeks’ notice before it is pruned or felled. A tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs the council’s consent wherever it stands. It is worth checking before a date is booked, and building the six weeks into your plans if you live in one of these areas.
Protected trees in Harraby
Harraby is within Cumberland Council’s area (the former Carlisle district). The council can tell you whether a tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area. Cumberland Council: trees, woodland and hedges (Carlisle)
Tree Surgery in Harraby: Common Questions
Do you cover Upperby and Botcherby too?
Yes — Harraby, Upperby, Botcherby, Durranhill and the rest of south-east Carlisle.
My garden only has a narrow side passage. Can you still get the timber out?
Yes. The tree is cut into pieces small enough to carry, and the brash is chipped at the front of the house. Our stump grinders fit through a standard garden gate.
Can I make my neighbour cut down their leylandii?
Talk to them first. If that fails, you can make a high hedge complaint to Cumberland Council about an evergreen hedge over two metres high that is blocking light. The council can order it to be reduced.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Harraby?
Every tree is different, so we quote each job rather than publish a price list. As a guide, a hedge cut or small ornamental prune usually starts around £150–£250, a crown reduction on a typical garden tree is often £350–£750, and a full dismantle of a large mature tree in a tight back garden can run to £1,000 or more. Stump grinding is normally £80–£200 per stump. The quote covers labour, waste removal and site clean-up, with no add-ons once the team arrives.
