Why Consider Tree Removal?

There are many reasons homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Leicester choose to remove trees.

Here are a few of the most common:

•Construction or Renovation: Trees might need to be removed to make way for new buildings, extensions, pools, or other structures.

•Obstruction: Trees can block sunlight from reaching your property or hide scenic views that you want to preserve.

•Safety Concerns: Over time, trees can become damaged or weakened by weather, pests, or age. This can make them a safety hazard, especially during storms when falling branches or entire trees may pose a risk to people or property.

•Dead or Dying Trees: A dead or decaying tree can fall unexpectedly, causing property damage or personal injury. If you notice a tree is dead or dying, it&#XXXXX;s a good idea to remove it before it becomes a danger.

•Rapid Growth: Some trees grow too large or too quickly, encroaching on buildings, driveways, or even power lines, creating a potential hazard.

•Disease and Pests: If a tree becomes infected with a disease or attacked by pests, it can weaken, spread to other trees, or cause damage to nearby structures.

•Roots: Over time, tree roots can damage foundations, sidewalks, driveways, or underground pipes.

•Allergy Concerns: If you&#XXXXX;re allergic to tree pollen, it might be necessary to remove certain trees from your property.

•Debris: Some trees produce a lot of fruit, seeds, or leaves, creating a mess that is difficult to manage.

•Aesthetic Reasons: A tree may simply not fit the aesthetic of your property, and you may wish to replace it with a more suitable plant.

At Leicester Tree Services, we work closely with our clients to understand their specific reasons for tree removal and offer the most suitable solutions.

How We Can Help You with Tree Removal in Leicester

When it comes to tree removal, the process starts with understanding the scope of the job. We offer 2 main ways to assess your tree removal needs:

1. Photos or Video: You can send us clear photos or a video of the tree or area in question. This helps us get an initial understanding of the situation.

2. Free Inspection: Alternatively, if the job is more complex or if you&#XXXXX;d prefer a personal touch, we can schedule a free on-site inspection. This allows us to evaluate the tree, surrounding area, and potential challenges directly.

Once we&#XXXXX;ve assessed your tree removal needs, we&#XXXXX;ll provide a written quote, outlining the price, estimated timeline, and any special considerations. We aim to be flexible and adaptable, offering various levels of service based on your needs and preferences. Whether you want the tree felled and left on the ground, cut into smaller sections for you to manage, or completely removed with stump grinding, we’re here to accommodate you.

Tree Felling Methods: Straight and Sectional Felling

The way we fell a tree depends on its size, the location of the tree, and the surrounding environment. At Leicester Tree Services, we use 2 primary methods for felling trees:

1. Straight Felling: This is the most common method. We make a directional notch cut into the tree, which helps guide the tree to fall in the desired direction. Then, we create a back cut from the opposite side, leaving a small uncut portion known as the hinge. The tree falls in a controlled manner, and we use ropes and wedges if necessary to help direct its fall. This method is best used when there’s enough space for the tree to fall without causing damage.

2. Sectional Felling: For trees in more confined spaces or near structures, we use sectional felling. This method is more intricate and involves climbing the tree (or using a lift) to cut the tree into smaller, manageable sections. We start by removing the branches and then cut the top sections of the tree, lowering them to the ground safely. This allows us to remove trees from tight spaces with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Leicester?

The cost of tree removal can vary depending on several factors, including:

•Tree Size: Larger trees typically require more time and equipment to remove.

•Access: If there’s limited access for our crew or equipment, it might increase the cost.

•Felling Method: Straight felling is typically more affordable than sectional felling, which requires more time and effort.

•Service Level: Depending on whether you want us to remove the entire tree, cut it into smaller sections, or grind the stump, the price will vary.

We offer competitive pricing, and we always provide a clear, written quote upfront. If you&#XXXXX;re removing multiple trees, we offer discounts for bulk work. If you&#XXXXX;re unsure of the exact cost, feel free to contact us for a free inspection or to send us photos/videos for an initial quote.

Stump Removal and Grinding Services

After the tree is removed, you may still have the stump left behind. If you’d like to remove it completely, we offer stump grinding services. Using specialized equipment, we grind the stump down to around 30 cm below ground level. The hole is then filled with wood chips and soil to restore the area’s natural look.

Stump grinding is perfect for those who want to reclaim space, plant new grass, or simply avoid tripping hazards. We always ensure the area is left clean and tidy, ready for you to enjoy.

Safety First

Tree removal is a job that requires attention to detail and a focus on safety. At Leicester Tree Services, we make safety our top priority.

We follow safe work practices throughout the job and ensure all our team members are fully trained and equipped with the necessary safety gear.

Additionally, all our workers are covered by liability and personal injury insurance, so you can have peace of mind knowing you&#XXXXX;re in safe hands.
