Tree Surgery in Dalston
Tree surgery in Dalston and the Caldew valley villages, for gardens, smallholdings and farms.
What we do
Professional Tree Surgery In Dalston And The Caldew Valley
Our NPTC qualified surgeons are fully insured, and the site visit and quote are free.
Dalston is a big village with old gardens. Limes, beeches and sycamores planted when the plots were larger have since grown to fill them, and many now hang over roofs, roads and the house next door. Thinning a crown to let light back in, cutting a tree back from a building, and taking down conifers that have got out of hand are the jobs we do most here.
South and west of the village the work changes to hedgerow oaks, field ash and the odd storm-damaged tree on farmland around Thursby, Raughton Head and Skelton. See the tree surgery service for what each job involves, or our Dalston area page for everything we do locally.

TREE SURGERY IN DALSTON
What You Need to Know About Tree Work In Dalston
The centre of Dalston is a conservation area. That means Cumberland Council needs six weeks' notice before you prune or fell most trees inside the boundary, even ones without their own Tree Preservation Order. Individual TPOs also apply to some trees across the wider parish. If you think a tree might be protected, we can check the council's TPO register for you before we visit.
The Caldew runs along the west side of the village. Gardens and fields that back onto it often have willow and alder spreading along the bank and starting to undercut it. Most work on or near the river needs the Environment Agency to be told first, and from early spring birds nest along the corridor, so we talk through timing before a riverside job is booked.
Out on the farmland towards Raughton Head and Sebergham, the trees are boundary oaks, overgrown hedgerow ash and lone field trees. Getting machinery to them means checking gate widths, track surfaces and cables at the visit. Dalston falls under the same council as Carlisle, so permissions follow the same process as in the city.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Most questions we get from Dalston are about the conservation area, trees near houses and what happens to the stump.
If we haven't covered yours, call us. There's no charge for advice.
Do I Need Permission to Remove a Tree In Dalston?
Possibly. The village centre is a conservation area, so most trees there need six weeks' notice to Cumberland Council, and trees with a TPO need consent wherever they are. We check both before we quote.
Do You Cover My Area Around Dalston?
Yes. We cover Dalston, Thursby, Raughton Head, Skelton, Sebergham, Buckabank, Welton and the rest of the Caldew valley. Call 07716 895087 if you are just outside it.
Do You Offer Emergency Tree Surgery In Dalston?
Yes. A tree down on a house, a car or a lane is a priority call for us. Phone 07716 895087 and we will get to you as soon as we can.
How Much Does Tree Surgery Cost In Dalston?
Price depends on the tree's size and condition, what you want done and access. We only quote after seeing the job, and the visit is free.
Can you deal with a tree that has grown too close to my house?
Yes. We assess trees near buildings, including where roots are a worry, and either reduce them or take them down in sections.
Do you remove stumps in the Dalston area?
Yes. We grind stumps below ground level so you can replant or lawn over the spot, either on their own or straight after a removal.
