Tree Surgery in Longtown
Carlisle Tree Surgeons covers Longtown with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Longtown is a small planned town on the River Esk, about eight miles north of Carlisle and close to the Scottish border. Its wide main street is lined with stone houses, and the country around it is farmland, shelterbelts and woodland running down to the Esk and the Lyne.
Our teams cover Longtown and the villages of North Cumbria, including Smithfield, Westlinton, Kirklinton, Arthuret and Easton, carrying out tree removal, hedge work, ash dieback management and reductions.

Farm, Riverside and Village Trees
A lot of the work around Longtown is on farm boundaries, shelterbelts and roadside trees: storm-damaged limbs, ash with dieback and trees overhanging lanes that need lifting for tractors and lorries.
In the town and villages, the most common jobs are reducing big garden trees, clearing conifer screens and cutting long hedges.
Conservation Areas and Protected Trees in Longtown
The centre of Longtown is a conservation area, and some trees in and around the town have Tree Preservation Orders.
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 Longtown
Longtown 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 the conservation area. Cumberland Council: trees, woodland and hedges (Carlisle)
Tree Surgery in Longtown: Common Questions
Do you cover the villages around Longtown?
Yes — Longtown, Smithfield, Westlinton, Kirklinton, Arthuret, Easton and the farms in between.
Do you work on farms?
Yes. Our teams fell and manage boundary trees, shelterbelts and roadside trees on farms. Larger fellings can need a Forestry Commission felling licence, which we can tell you about when we quote.
Do you cover Gretna or anywhere over the border?
Ask us. Our teams may be able to help just over the border, but tree protection rules in Scotland are different, and Dumfries and Galloway Council deals with them.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Longtown?
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.
