Who stands out for excellent tree care service in Leicester?

When homeowners and business owners look for a company that truly stands out for excellent tree care service in Leicester, they often find their way to us at Leicester Tree Services. We believe that being the best isn't just about having the biggest trucks or the sharpest tools; it is about the local trust we have built over many years. In a city as green and diverse as Leicester, trees are more than just part of the landscape-they are part of our history and our homes. We stand out because we treat every project with a personal touch, ensuring that our customers feel heard and their gardens feel respected. Whether you have a small garden in a quiet suburb or a large commercial site near the city center, our team brings a level of care and expertise that is hard to find anywhere else. We are proud to be a firm that residents can rely on for honest advice, fair pricing, and a finished result that makes their outdoor space safer and more beautiful.

One of the most important parts of our job is helping people understand the health of their trees, especially after the unpredictable weather we often see here in the East Midlands. A question we are frequently asked is: is pruning necessary after a storm? The short answer is almost always yes, but the reasons go much deeper than just making things look tidy again. When a storm rolls through Leicester with high winds and heavy rain, it puts an incredible amount of stress on every branch and trunk. Even if a tree looks fine from your window, there could be hidden damage that poses a risk to your family or your property. Professional pruning after a storm is vital because it addresses "widow makers"-those broken branches that are caught high up in the canopy and could fall at any moment. By removing these hazards safely, we prevent accidents before they happen.

Storm damage isn't always as obvious as a fallen limb; sometimes, the wind causes small cracks or "stress fractures" in the wood. If these are left alone, they can become entry points for pests and diseases like rot or fungi, which can slowly kill a healthy tree from the inside out. When we come out after a storm, we perform what we call "remedial pruning." This means we carefully cut back jagged, broken stubs to a clean point where the tree can actually heal itself. A jagged break is like an open wound on a person; it needs to be cleaned and managed so it doesn't get infected. By pruning correctly after a storm, we are essentially giving the tree the best chance to recover and grow back stronger. It also helps to rebalance the weight of the tree, so the next time a big wind comes along, the tree is more aerodynamic and less likely to tip over or lose more branches.

In addition to safety and health, pruning after a storm is about looking forward to the future. A tree that has lost several large limbs can become lopsided, which puts uneven pressure on the roots. Over time, this can lead to the whole tree becoming unstable. Our expert arborists in Leicester know how to shape the remaining canopy to encourage even growth and restore the tree's natural beauty. We think of it as a bit of a "reset" for the tree. While a storm is a stressful event, the right pruning can turn it into an opportunity to thin out thick areas that were blocking light or to remove old, weak wood that should have been dealt with years ago. We are here to make sure that a bad night of weather doesn't lead to the loss of a beautiful, mature tree that adds value and character to your home.

Of course, sometimes a storm or a long-term illness is simply too much for a tree to handle, and removal becomes the only safe option. However, felling the tree is only half the story. To truly finish the job and reclaim your garden, we also offer expert stump removal in Leicester. Many people make the mistake of leaving a stump in the ground, thinking it will just rot away on its own, but this can take many years and cause several headaches along the way. A leftover stump is a major tripping hazard, especially if you have children or pets running around the lawn. It also makes mowing the grass a frustrating chore. More importantly, old stumps can become breeding grounds for unwanted guests. Decaying wood attracts insects like woodlice and ants, and it can harbor fungi that might spread to your healthy plants and flowers.

Our stump removal process in Leicester is designed to be quick, clean, and complete. We use a specialist machine called a stump grinder, which has a fast-spinning blade that turns the wood into fine mulch. We don't just shave off the top; we grind deep into the ground, usually about 12 to 14 inches below the surface. This ensures that the main body of the stump is gone and, crucially, that the tree won't try to grow back. Many species are surprisingly stubborn and will start sending up "suckers" or small shoots from the old stump, turning your tidy garden into a messy thicket. By choosing our professional stump removal service, you are making sure the ground is clear and ready for whatever you want to do next. You can lay down fresh turf, plant a new flower bed, or even build a shed or a patio right over the spot where the tree used to stand. It is the final step in a total tree care plan that leaves your property in perfect condition.

At the end of the day, excellent tree care is about peace of mind. When you work with us at Leicester Tree Services, you aren't just getting someone with a ladder and a saw; you are getting a team that cares about the environment and the safety of our city. We take our responsibility seriously, from the moment we arrive for your free quote to the final sweep of the driveway before we leave. We know that tree work can feel a bit overwhelming, especially after a scary storm, but we are here to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. We handle the heavy work, the dangerous heights, and the disposal of all the waste, so you can just enjoy the view. Our goal is to be the team that stands out not just for the work we do, but for the way we treat our customers-with kindness, honesty, and a real passion for trees.
