Tree Surgeon in Tattershall

Tree surgery around Tattershall, from conservation area gardens near the castle to farmland and riverside trees.

Tattershall sits on the A153 between Horncastle and Sleaford, on the west bank of the River Bain opposite Coningsby. It is a short run down from Horncastle for Will and John.

The village grew up around Tattershall Castle, built in 1434 by Ralph Cromwell, and the ruined Tattershall College, which is Grade II* listed and a scheduled monument. The historic centre is a conservation area, designated by East Lindsey District Council in 1976. Trees inside it with a trunk over 75mm across at 1.5m high need six weeks' written notice to the council before felling, topping or lopping, and some trees may also carry Tree Preservation Orders. Our guide to tree preservation orders explains the process.

There is notable wildlife here too. Tattershall Carrs is a remnant of ancient alder woodland, known for bat roosts in old wartime shelters. Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so trees with cavities, loose bark or dense ivy are checked before work starts, and the timing of a job may be planned around them.

Around the village, work ranges from crown reductions and deadwood removal in gardens to clearing riverside and field-edge trees on the flat land towards the Witham, where ground can be soft in winter. Large trees near buildings are taken down in sections, climbed or from the tracked platform. See domestic tree surgery, climbing and sectional dismantling, tree felling and removal and MEWP access work. For farms and businesses, see commercial tree work.
