Who delivers top-tier tree care solutions in Leicester?
At Leicester Tree Services, we take great pride in being the business that local people turn to when they want the very best care for their gardens. When people ask who is known for premium-quality tree care in Leicester, our name is usually the first one mentioned. We have spent many years building a reputation based on trust, hard work, and a deep love for the natural beauty of our city. We do not just see ourselves as people who cut down trees; we see ourselves as caretakers of the environment. Every tree we work on is treated with respect, whether it is a small fruit tree in a backyard or a massive oak tree in a public park. Our goal is always to make sure that your outdoor space is safe, healthy, and looking its absolute best.
One of the reasons we are known for premium service is because we focus on the small details that other companies might skip. For us, premium quality starts from the very first moment you call us. We listen to your concerns, we look at the health of your trees, and we give you honest advice about what needs to be done. We believe in being transparent and helpful. Sometimes a tree does not need to be removed at all; it might just need a little bit of careful pruning to help it grow better. Because we are experts, we can tell the difference, and we always share that knowledge with our customers. This honest approach is why so many families and businesses in Leicester choose us time and time again.
A question we get asked almost every single day is: "How long does it take to remove a tree?" We know that you are busy and that having a team of workers in your garden can be a bit disruptive. That is why we always try to give you a clear idea of how long the job will take before we start. On average, a standard tree removal takes about one full working day. However, "one day" is just a general rule. Some jobs are much faster, and some can take a bit longer. The time it takes depends on several things, such as how big the tree is, where it is standing, and what kind of condition it is in. We never want to rush a job because rushing can lead to mistakes, and in our business, safety is the most important thing.
The size of the tree is the most obvious factor. If you have a small tree that is only about ten or fifteen feet tall, our team can usually have it down and cleaned up in just a couple of hours. These smaller trees are easier to handle and do not require as much heavy equipment. However, if you have a very large, mature tree that towers over your house, the process is much more involved. For a giant tree, we have to be very systematic. We cannot just cut it at the bottom and let it fall. We have to climb up and take it apart piece by piece, starting from the very top branches and working our way down to the trunk. This careful work for a large tree can take anywhere from six to eight hours, or sometimes even a second day if the tree is exceptionally massive.
The location of the tree also plays a huge role in how long we will be at your home. If a tree is out in an open area with nothing around it, we can work very quickly. But most of the time in Leicester, trees are located near houses, fences, power lines, or precious garden sheds. When a tree is in a tight spot, we have to use a method called "rigging." This means we use ropes and pulleys to catch every branch as it is cut and lower it slowly to the ground. This ensures that nothing gets damaged on your property. While rigging takes more time to set up and execute, it is the only way to provide the premium level of safety that we are known for.
The type of tree also changes the timeline. Some trees, like oak or beech, have wood that is very hard and heavy. Cutting through a thick hardwood trunk takes more time and wears down our tools faster than cutting through a soft wood like pine or cedar. Additionally, the health of the tree matters a lot. If a tree is dead or rotting, it can actually be more dangerous to climb. In those cases, we have to move even more slowly and carefully to make sure the tree stays stable while we are working on it. We use our years of experience to decide the safest and most efficient way to bring it down, even if the wood is in bad shape.
Another part of the process that takes time is the cleanup. At Leicester Tree Services, we do not believe a job is done until your garden is spotless. Once the tree is on the ground, we have to process all the wood. We use a large machine called a wood chipper to turn all the small branches into mulch. This is a very fast machine, but it still takes time to feed all the material into it. Then, we have to deal with the heavy logs from the main trunk. We move these to our truck using specialized equipment so that we do not tear up your grass. Finally, we rake up all the small twigs and sawdust.
