Tree Surgery in Longtown
We are based near Longtown, so tree surgery in Longtown and the Esk valley is home ground for us.
What we do
Professional Tree Surgery In Longtown And The Esk Valley
We work on gardens in the town, farms and estates around it, and the border country east to Bewcastle, with NPTC qualified surgeons, full insurance and a free site visit.
Around Longtown the trees mostly belong to farms rather than gardens. Hedgerow oaks and ash that have grown into full-size trees, shelterbelts nobody has touched in decades and big lone trees in field corners make up much of the work. Many need heavy reduction, reshaping or felling, and we have the crew and kit for large rural jobs.
In the town itself it is more familiar: a tree too close to a cottage, a conifer blocking the light, a stump to grind out. See the tree surgery service for each type of work, or the Longtown area page for everything else we do locally.

What Our Customers in Longtown Say
Here is what some of our tree surgery customers have said.
★★★★★
“Joe first came to our property on an emergency job during the storms, we thought one of the trees in our garden was going to fall onto our greenhouse. Despite the awful weather he came out to us within the day and immediately removed the unsafe tree. 1st class service!”
JillianFacebook Review ★★★★★
“I would highly recommend White’s Tree Services We had 2 mature trees which were right next to our gable end of the house. Each winter we would worry about how close they were and the damage they would do if a storm brought them down! Well, Joe came highly recommended to us with experience of felling trees so close to buildings. Joe worked skillfully, safely and efficiently to remove the trees!! I can’t fault his work and his team ensured everywhere was left clear and tidy. 5* Highly Recommended”

TREE SURGERY IN LONGTOWN
What You Need to Know About Tree Work In Longtown
This is working farmland, and most of our tree surgery here is on farm boundaries and estates. Where roots run under tracks, drains or buildings, or a fell needs room on both sides of a hedge, we plan it carefully. TPOs can apply to rural trees as well as garden ones, so we check before any work is priced.
The Esk runs through Longtown and the Lyne joins it just south of the town. Willow and alder along both grow fast and can undercut banks and choke drains. The Esk carries salmon and sea trout, so the timing and method of bankside work matter, and most riverside jobs need the Environment Agency told first. We cover this at the visit.
East of the town, towards Bewcastle, Nicholforest and Roadhead, are some of the most remote properties in the county. Some need compact machinery or hand tools, and remote jobs are priced to reflect the extra planning. We confirm access before a date is set.
Around Arthuret church and the older houses nearby there are big mature trees. Before working on old trees like these we check for nests between March and August and for signs of bats, and we advise if a survey is needed before anything goes to Cumberland Council. Ash dieback is common across the Esk valley too, and planned removal beats an emergency call-out.

Something else on your mind? Ring us. We are local and glad to come and look.
Do I Need Permission to Remove a Tree In Longtown?
Only if the tree has a TPO or stands in a conservation area. TPOs can cover farm and estate trees, not just garden ones, and Cumberland Council handles them. We check before quoting.
Do You Cover My Area Around Longtown?
Yes. We cover Longtown, Arthuret, Laversdale, Nicholforest, Roadhead, Bewcastle and Kirkandrews-on-Esk. Call 07716 895087 if you are just beyond these.
Do You Offer Emergency Tree Surgery In Longtown?
Yes. Because we are based nearby, we can usually reach Longtown quickly after a storm. If a tree is on a building, a vehicle or across a lane, call 07716 895087.
How Much Does Tree Surgery Cost In Longtown?
It depends on the tree, the work and the access. Remote sites need more planning and that shows in the price. The visit and written quote are free.
Can you carry out tree work in the nesting season?
Often yes, but we check every tree for active nests first and look for signs of bats in older trees. If a survey is needed, we tell you before the work is booked.
