Tree Surgery in Scotby
Carlisle Tree Surgeons covers Scotby with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Scotby lies just east of the city, between Carlisle and Wetheral, and has grown from a small village into one of the most popular places to live around Carlisle. Its houses range from older properties in the village to newer homes in large gardens, and many plots have mature beech, oak, sycamore and conifer, along with long hedges along the lanes.
Our teams cover Scotby, Cumwhinton, Wreay and the lanes between the M6 and the Eden, carrying out crown reductions, removals, hedge trimming and stump grinding.

Looking After Larger Village Gardens
Bigger gardens mean bigger trees. Many of the mature trees here are now close enough to the house to block light or drop debris on roofs and gutters, and a well-planned reduction is often all that’s needed.
Long boundary hedges of beech, hawthorn, laurel and conifer are a big part of the work in Scotby. We cut them with platforms and long-reach trimmers, timed outside the main nesting season where possible.
Protected Trees Around Scotby
Scotby doesn’t have its own conservation area, but Wetheral’s is only a short distance east, and some individual trees and groups around the village are covered by Tree Preservation Orders, particularly where newer houses were built among existing trees.
If a tree has a TPO, Cumberland Council needs a consent application before any work is done to it. We’ll flag it if we think a tree might be protected when we quote.

Tree Surgery in Scotby: Common Questions
Do you cover Cumwhinton and Wreay?
Yes — Scotby, Cumwhinton, Wreay and the villages between Carlisle and Wetheral.
Can you cut a long hedge in one visit?
Usually, yes. Platforms and long-reach trimmers let our teams cut long runs of hedge quickly, and all the clippings are collected and taken away.
How do I know if my tree has a TPO?
Ask Cumberland Council’s planning team. Trees on newer developments are sometimes protected by a TPO or a planning condition even when the house is not in a conservation area.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Scotby?
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.
