Hi there! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by to learn about Leicester Tree Services. We’re a family-run business rooted right here in Leicester, and for over 15 years, we’ve been helping folks look after their trees. I started this company because I’ve always loved being outdoors, and there’s something special about solving tree-related problems – whether that’s keeping them in tip-top shape, giving them a trim, or safely taking them down when needed. We’re not just here to do a job; we’re here to do it well, with care, and at a price that feels fair.
Our team’s a friendly bunch of qualified arborists – fully insured and ready to tackle anything from a stubborn tree removal to a quick hedge tidy-up. We’re all about being approachable, dependable, and straight-up honest. Got a tree that’s giving you grief? We’re the ones to call. And since you’re here, I’m betting you’re curious about our tree removal service – especially what it’ll set you back. Let’s get into that and tell you more about what makes Leicester Tree Services tick.
What We Do – Tree Removal and More
At Leicester Tree Services, tree removal is one of our specialties, but we’re a full-service tree care crew. We cover everything from pruning and stump grinding to hedge trimming and emergency storm clean-ups. That said, tree removal tends to be what people ask about most – maybe because a tree’s turned into a hazard, it’s in the way of a build, or it’s simply had its day. Whatever the case, we’ve got the skills, gear, and crew to bring it down safely and smoothly.
We work all across Leicester – from the green corners of Oadby and Knighton to the busy streets near the city centre. No job’s too big or too small, whether it’s a massive oak looming over your garden or a row of tired conifers. Being local, we know Leicester inside out – the soil, the weather, even the council’s tree preservation rules. It all helps us deliver a top-notch service tailored to where you are.
Why Tree Removal Pricing Matters to Us
Let’s get to the nitty-gritty – the price of tree removal in Leicester. I’ll level with you: pricing’s something we’ve put a lot of thought into because we want it to work for you and keep our business humming along. Tree removal isn’t a cookie-cutter job, so the cost varies a bit depending on the details. But don’t fret – we’re not the sort to slap you with sneaky extras or vague estimates. I’ve always believed in keeping things clear, and that’s how we operate.
Our aim is to offer prices that are competitive but reflect the quality you’re getting. We’re not the cheapest option out there – I’ll be upfront about that – because cutting corners isn’t our thing. Bargain-basement tree removal can mean shoddy tools, untrained hands, or a mess left for you to sort, and we won’t gamble with your property like that. Instead, we give you a solid service that’s worth what you pay, with pricing you can count on.
How Much Does Tree Removal Cost with Leicester Tree Services?
So, what’s the bottom line? For a typical tree removal job in Leicester, our prices usually start at around £250 and can climb to £1,000 or more, depending on the job’s specifics. I know that’s a range, but stick with me – I’ll break it down so you can see what’s what.
For a small tree – up to 10 feet tall, like a young cherry or a scraggly conifer – you’re looking at £250 to £400. That covers us coming out, chopping it down, and hauling away the debris. If it’s in a tricky spot – say, near a fence or power lines – we might bump it up a touch because it takes extra finesse (and sometimes a cherry picker) to keep things safe. For medium-sized trees – 10 to 25 feet, like a mature birch or an overgrown apple tree – prices tend to land between £400 and £700. And for the big beasts – those 25-foot-plus giants like oaks or pines – you’re into £700 to £1,000 territory, especially if we need to lower it in sections.
These are rough guides, of course. The final cost hinges on things like the tree’s size, where it’s growing, its condition (is it wobbly or rotten?), and whether you want the stump gone too. Stump grinding’s an extra £50 to £150, depending on how wide it is. We’ll always give you a free, no-strings quote after checking it out, so you know exactly what you’re in for.
What Sets Our Pricing Apart?
What makes our pricing different, I think, is how open we are about it. When you get in touch, we don’t just pluck a number out of thin air. We’ll swing by (at no cost!), have a proper look, and walk you through what’s involved. You’ll get a clear quote covering labour, equipment, and waste removal – no curveballs. Plus, we’re fully insured, so if anything goes awry (which it won’t!), you’re protected.
Compared to some of the bigger outfits in Leicester, our prices hold their own. National firms often have hefty overheads that get tacked onto your bill. As a local crew, we keep things simple – no swanky offices or big marketing spends – so more of your money goes straight into the job. And unlike some cut-rate operators, we’re properly certified and follow all the safety rules. That peace of mind’s priceless, isn’t it?
Why Choose Leicester Tree Services?
Beyond the numbers, there’s plenty we bring to the table. Experience is a huge part – after 15 years, we’ve handled everything from storm-battered sycamores to trees tangled in wires. Our team’s got the credentials (NPTC and LANTRA certified) to back up our know-how. We’ve also got decent kit – quality chainsaws, chippers, and rigging gear – so we can work fast and safe.
Customer service is another biggie for us. I can’t tell you how often people say they chose us because we actually listened. Whether you’re unsure if a tree’s worth saving or just want it gone pronto, we’re here to help, not upsell you on stuff you don’t need. And we clean up after ourselves – no dumping a heap of branches for you to deal with!
Real Stories from Leicester Customers
Don’t just take it from me – our customers can vouch for us. Last month, we sorted a family in Evington with a 30-foot ash tree that was shedding branches onto their garage. They loved our £850 quote (it was a fiddly one near the house), and were over the moon when we wrapped it up in a day and left everything spotless. Then there was a guy in Aylestone who had a small hawthorn removed for £300 – he reckoned we beat two other quotes and were nicer to deal with. Hearing that keeps us going.
Looking After Leicester, One Tree at a Time
Running this business has taught me how much trees mean to people – they’re part of your home, your memories, and sometimes your headaches! What I love most is seeing the relief on someone’s face when we’ve taken down a problem tree without fuss, or the smile when they realise their garden’s got a new lease of life. We’re not just a service; we’re part of the community, and keeping Leicester’s trees in check is something I take real pride in. It’s about doing right by you and the place we all call home.
Free Consultation – No Strings Attached
Not sure what your tree needs or what it’ll cost? I get it – it’s hard to know until someone’s had a proper look. That’s why we offer a free consultation for every job, no matter how big or small. I’ll pop round myself or send one of the team to check out your tree, chat about your options, and give you a straight-up quote – all at no charge. There’s no pressure to commit; it’s just a chance to get the facts and figure out what works for you. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that a bit of clarity goes a long way!
