Tree Surgeon Sacriston

Tree services in Sacriston

Sacriston is a former colliery village three miles north of Durham, taking its name from Sacristan's Heugh, the estate that funded repairs to Durham Cathedral. It has modern estates and older streets set around the village centre.

Semi-mature garden trees are the norm in Sacriston. We carry out reductions, removals and stump grinding to keep gardens manageable, and deal with the ash dieback cases that are becoming common.

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 Sacriston

Access on site: Most gardens are reached from standard streets with kerb parking, though some older terraces have restricted rear access. Generally straightforward access compared with the city.

Trees you are most likely to have: Ash and sycamore dominate, with leylandii screens on the estates and cherry and birch in newer gardens. Ash dieback is being seen across the village.

Wind and storm risk: The village sits on fairly open ground north of Durham and is exposed to winds from the north and west.

Permissions and Conservation Areas: There is no Conservation Area in Sacriston itself, but nearby Plawsworth and the Durham City Conservation Area are close by. Individual TPOs apply to some garden trees.
