Tree Surgery in Wigton
Carlisle Tree Surgeons covers Wigton with NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams for everything from a single overgrown tree to full garden clearances.
Wigton is a market town on the Solway Plain, about eleven miles south-west of Carlisle. Its centre is made up of older stone houses and narrow streets, with newer estates around the edge and farms and villages spreading out towards the Solway and the northern fells.
Our teams cover Wigton and the surrounding villages, including Thursby, Abbeytown, Kirkbride, Bromfield and Waverton, carrying out reductions, removals, hedge cutting and stump grinding.

All of our services are available in Wigton:
Town Gardens and Open Farmland
In the town, the work is mostly garden trees that have outgrown their plots, conifer screens and hedges. Narrow access is common, so trees are usually taken down in sections and carried out.
Out on the Solway Plain, trees on farms and around village houses take a lot of wind, and ash dieback is now common along the hedgerows. Trees beside roads and houses are the priority for checking.
Conservation Areas and Protected Trees in Wigton
The centre of Wigton is a conservation area, and some trees in and around the town have Tree Preservation Orders. Wigton was in the old Allerdale district and is now part of Cumberland Council.
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 Wigton

Tree Surgery in Wigton: Common Questions
Do you cover the villages around Wigton?
Yes — Wigton, Thursby, Abbeytown, Kirkbride, Bromfield, Waverton and the villages of the Solway Plain.
Is the centre of Wigton a conservation area?
Yes. Any tree there with a trunk more than 75mm across needs six weeks’ notice to Cumberland Council before it is pruned or felled.
Can you grind out an old stump in a small back garden?
Yes. Our narrow-access stump grinders fit through a standard garden gate, and the hole is backfilled so you can turf or plant over it.
How much does a tree surgeon cost in Wigton?
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.
