Tree Surgeon in Horncastle
Our home base. Garden trees, hedges, farm and commercial tree work across Horncastle and the villages around it.
New Leaf Arb is run by Will and John, both NPTC qualified utility and domestic arborists, out of Horncastle. Because this is where the kit is kept, a site visit to look at a tree and talk through the options is usually quick to arrange, and jobs in town and the surrounding villages involve very little travelling time.
Horncastle sits where the River Bain meets the River Waring, on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The town centre has a lot of Georgian buildings and old coaching inns, and East Lindsey District Council has designated a conservation area there. If your tree is in the older part of town, it may be protected even without a Tree Preservation Order, and six weeks' notice to the council is needed before most felling or pruning. Our guide to tree preservation orders explains how to check.
Around the edges of town the picture changes: newer estates with garden trees that have outgrown their plots, long conifer hedges along lanes, and riverside trees along the Bain and Waring. Outside town it is mostly farmland, with field trees, hedgerow ash and shelter belts. One of the jobs on our work page is an overgrown conifer hedge reduced along a private lane near Horncastle, worked from the top down to keep the lane open.
For gardens, the most common requests are crown reductions, thinning, deadwood removal and hedge reductions, all part of domestic tree surgery. Where a tree has to come down, see tree felling and removal and climbing and sectional dismantling. Farms and businesses can find out more on our commercial tree work page, and trees growing towards overhead lines need utility arboriculture and line clearance.

FAQs
Common questions
Is New Leaf Arb based in Horncastle?
Yes. Will and John work out of Horncastle, so site visits in and around the town are quick to arrange.
Is my tree in the Horncastle conservation area?
Much of the older town centre is in a conservation area managed by East Lindsey District Council. Ask the council, or ask us at the site visit, before any work starts.
Do you cut hedges as well as trees?
Yes. Conifer and mixed hedges are reduced and reshaped, often from the platform on tall hedges, with the brash chipped and taken away.
