Tree Surgeon Lanchester

Tree services in Lanchester

Lanchester sits on the A691 west of Durham, on the edge of the Derwent Valley, a village of older stone houses and established gardens with mature trees. The Romans built a fort (Longovicium) on the hill above.

Older gardens in Lanchester often hold trees planted half a century ago that now crowd the house. Crown thinning, lifting and deadwood removal keep them safe and let light in.

All work includes a free inspection and fixed written quote, with timber, branches and green waste taken away when the job is done.

Local knowledge: working in Lanchester

Access on site: The older part of the village has narrow lanes and stone-walled gardens, so access for machinery is limited and we often work by hand or with sectional rigging.

Trees you are most likely to have: Beech, sycamore, ash and oak are common in the older gardens, with silver birch and rowan on the higher ground towards the moors.

Wind and storm risk: The village sits on the exposed edge of the Durham plateau, open to west and north winds coming off the Pennines.

Permissions and Conservation Areas: Lanchester has its own Conservation Area covering the historic core of the village, and there are TPOs on many of the mature garden trees.
