Descriptions

At Leicester Tree Services, we offer a full range of tree care services. This includes cutting down trees, trimming branches, pruning to improve tree health, and removing unwanted or dangerous stumps. No job is too big or too small. From small garden trees to large, old trees that tower above buildings, we’ve handled all types of tree work with care and professionalism. Our team is fully trained, experienced, and always puts safety first. We use the correct tools and equipment for every job and always follow safe working methods to protect both your property and our team.

What makes us different from other tree care companies in Leicester is not just our skills, but also our attitude. We treat every customer with respect, show up on time, and make sure we leave your garden or site clean and tidy. Many of our customers come back to us again and again because they know they can rely on us. We never rush through a job, and we always take the time to explain what needs to be done, how we’ll do it, and why it matters. If something doesn’t need doing, we’ll tell you. We believe in being honest and fair.

One of the common questions we hear is, “How long does it take to remove a tree?” The answer really depends on a few things. First, the size of the tree matters. A small tree, like a young cherry or birch, can often be removed in just one or two hours. A medium-sized tree might take two to four hours. Larger trees, like tall oaks or sycamores, can take a full day or even longer to remove, especially if they are close to buildings, fences, or roads.

The location of the tree also plays a big part in how long the job will take. If the tree is in an open garden with plenty of space, it’s much easier and faster to remove. But if it’s squeezed between two buildings, near power lines, or leaning over a neighbour’s garden, the job takes more time. In tight or tricky spots, we often have to remove the tree bit by bit, using ropes or special tools to lower the branches safely to the ground.

Another factor that affects the time is the condition of the tree. A dead or damaged tree may break more easily, which could speed up the process—or slow it down if we need to be extra careful to avoid pieces falling the wrong way. A large, healthy tree with lots of strong branches and a wide canopy will naturally take longer to cut down and carry away. Weather can also play a role. Strong winds, heavy rain, or icy conditions can make the job more dangerous and might mean we need to pause or take extra steps to work safely. Access is another thing we always check before starting a job. If we can’t get close with our van or equipment, we’ll need more time to carry out the work by hand.

If the customer wants us to remove the stump as well, that adds time. Stump grinding can take another one or two hours, depending on how big and deep the stump is. Some people prefer to leave the stump, especially if it’s not in the way, while others want the ground completely clear so they can replant or lay turf. We’re happy to do either – just let us know your preference.

Every job is different, and that’s why we always offer a free quote before starting any work. We can often visit the site in person or sometimes use photos to get a clear idea of what’s needed. We’ll then explain how long the job is likely to take and how much it will cost. We don’t add any surprise charges later. What we quote is what you pay. Our aim is to make the whole process simple and stress-free for our customers.
