Tree Care Services in Leicester
Tree Removal
Tree removal is sometimes unavoidable due to safety, disease, storm damage, or development work.
We carry out controlled tree removals using professional rigging techniques to minimise risk to buildings, fences, and surrounding areas. Trees can be dismantled in sections where space is limited, ensuring a safe and tidy result.
All timber, branches, and debris are removed from site unless requested otherwise.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning reduces the density of a tree’s canopy while maintaining its natural shape.
This improves light penetration, reduces wind resistance, and helps lower stress on the tree during high winds. It is ideal for mature trees where you want to reduce bulk without drastically changing appearance.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting involves removing lower branches to increase clearance beneath a tree.
This is commonly used to improve access for pedestrians, vehicles, driveways, and garden spaces, or to allow more light into buildings and lawns. The overall structure and health of the tree are preserved.
Pruning
Correct pruning improves the health, shape, and safety of trees and shrubs.
We remove dead, damaged, or poorly positioned growth to encourage healthy regrowth and prevent future problems. All pruning is carried out with long-term tree health in mind, not short-term appearance.
Pollarding
Pollarding is a more severe form of pruning used to control tree size and manage growth in restricted spaces.
When done correctly and at the right intervals, pollarding can extend the lifespan of certain species and reduce ongoing maintenance issues. This is not suitable for all trees and will only be recommended where appropriate.
Deadwooding involves the removal of dead, dying, or unsafe branches to improve safety and reduce the risk of falling timber.
Hedge Cutting and Maintenance
Regular hedge cutting keeps boundaries tidy, manageable, and healthy.
We offer one-off hedge cuts or ongoing maintenance for domestic gardens, commercial sites, and rental properties. Hedges are shaped evenly and cleared away properly, leaving no mess behind.
Stump Grinding
Tree stumps left in the ground can be unsightly and get in the way of landscaping or replanting.
Stump grinding removes the stump below ground level using specialist machinery, allowing the area to be levelled or reused. This prevents regrowth and reduces the risk of pests and decay.
Complete Site Clearance
For larger projects, we offer full site clearance services.
This includes removal of trees, hedges, scrub, and overgrown vegetation to prepare land for construction, landscaping, or redevelopment. Work is carried out efficiently with all waste removed from site.
Green Waste Removal
All green waste is taken away and disposed of responsibly at a local recycling yard.
Branches, logs, hedge trimmings, and general vegetation are cleared as part of the job. You won’t be left with piles of waste or hidden extras added later.
Emergency Tree Services
Storm damage and unstable trees can pose an immediate risk to people, property, and access.
We provide emergency tree services for fallen trees, hanging branches, and storm-damaged or dangerous trees. Each situation is assessed on arrival to determine the safest method of making the area secure and carrying out necessary work.
Emergency call-outs are available for domestic and commercial properties where urgent action is required.
TPOs and Conservation Areas
Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or are located within conservation areas, meaning work is legally controlled.
We carry out approved work on protected trees once the correct permissions are in place. If you’re unsure whether a tree is protected, we can help identify this and explain what steps are required before work begins.
All work is completed in line with local authority requirements and recognised arboricultural standards.
Forestry Work
Forestry work is carried out in a controlled and planned manner, with safety and access always prioritised.
Work can include selective felling, vegetation management, and clearance to support land management, access routes, or future development, with all material handled appropriately and sites left safe and usable.
