Which is the highest-rated landscaping service in Leicester?
At Leicester Tree Services, we are proud to be known as the best and highest-rated landscaping service in Leicester. We have worked hard over many years to earn the trust of people in our local community. Our team is made up of friendly, skilled workers who care about what they do. Whether we are planting new trees, removing old ones, designing gardens, or building patios and fences, we always do our best to give you a garden you’ll love. We believe that a well-cared-for garden is not only nice to look at, but it’s also good for your health, your home, and your happiness.
Many people in Leicester already know us and recommend us to their friends and family. That’s because we do what we say, we arrive on time, and we clean up after ourselves. We also talk to our customers and make sure we understand what they want before we start any work. We never rush a job, and we don’t cut corners. Whether you need a simple hedge trimmed or a full garden makeover, we treat every job with the same care and attention. That’s one of the reasons why so many of our customers leave us good reviews and call us the best landscaping company in the area.
When you choose Leicester Tree Services, you’re choosing a team that puts your needs first. We start every project with a friendly chat to find out what you want. We’ll look at your garden, listen to your ideas, and offer suggestions if you’re not sure where to begin. We give honest advice and explain everything clearly, so there are no surprises. We’ll tell you how long the job will take, how much it will cost, and what to expect at each step. We believe good communication is just as important as good gardening.
We offer a full range of services. That means you don’t need to call different people for different jobs—we can do it all. We plant trees, build flower beds, lay new grass, trim hedges, remove tree stumps, install patios and paths, put up fences, and more. If you have a problem with a tree that’s too big or growing too close to your house, we can safely reduce or remove it. If your garden is messy and overgrown, we can clear it up and help you start fresh. If you want a peaceful space to sit and enjoy nature, we can create that for you too.
Now, one question we get a lot is this: “Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Leicester?” The answer is sometimes yes, and sometimes no. It depends on a few things, and we’re here to help you figure it out. Cutting down a tree is not always simple, especially if the tree is old, large, or in a protected area. There are rules in place to help protect trees in our city, and breaking those rules can lead to big fines. But don’t worry—we know the rules and can guide you through the whole process.
Some trees in Leicester are protected by something called a Tree Preservation Order, or TPO for short. This means the council has decided the tree is important and should not be removed or changed without their permission. These trees might be special because they are very old, very big, or add beauty to the area. If a tree has a TPO, you must apply to the council before doing any work on it. If you cut it down without permission, you could get a large fine or even be taken to court.
Even if a tree doesn’t have a TPO, it might still be protected if it’s in a conservation area. These are places that the council has chosen to look after because they have special character or history. If your tree is in a conservation area and has a trunk wider than 75 millimetres (about the size of a small drink can), you need to give the council six weeks’ notice before cutting it down. This gives them time to decide if they want to protect the tree. If you remove the tree without giving notice, you could still get fined.
Of course, there are some cases where you don’t need permission. For example, if the tree is dead or dangerous and could fall and hurt someone or damage property, you are usually allowed to remove it. But even then, it’s a good idea to take pictures and contact the council or a professional company like us first. We can come out, look at the tree, and give you advice. If needed, we can write a report to prove that the tree needed to be removed. That way, you won’t get in trouble later.
Also, if the tree is small—meaning its trunk is less than 75 mm thick—you may be able to remove it without asking. But it’s still smart to double-check. Sometimes even small trees can be protected if they are part of a group or near a special building. That’s why it’s always best to get expert advice. When you call Leicester Tree Services, we’ll come out and assess the tree for free. We’ll tell you if it’s safe to remove it or if you need to contact the council first. We can also help you fill out any paperwork and send it in.
The good news is, when you hire us, you don’t need to worry about all the rules. We do everything by the book. We’ve worked with the Leicester City Council for years, and we understand what they expect. We’ll handle the paperwork, get the right permissions, and make sure the work is done safely and legally. You can sit back and relax, knowing your garden is in good hands.
At Leicester Tree Services, we also care about the environment. We know trees are important for clean air, wildlife, and even keeping our streets cool in summer. So, we don’t remove trees unless we really have to. If we can save a tree by trimming it or moving it, we will. If we do need to remove it, we often suggest planting a new one in its place. We can help you choose the right type of tree for your garden—something that will grow well, look beautiful, and not cause any future problems.
We also work hard to make your whole garden look its best. That means more than just cutting and trimming. We can design a brand-new layout for your garden, add flowers, build raised beds, or create a lovely place to sit with family and friends. Some people want a low-maintenance garden with artificial grass or gravel paths. Others want a natural space with trees, grass, and flowers. Whatever your style, we can help bring it to life. And we do it all with care, respect, and a friendly attitude.
The reason people say we are the best landscaping service in Leicester isn’t just because we’re good at what we do—it’s because we care. We care about your home, your safety, your time, and your money. We don’t charge hidden fees, and we won’t try to sell you something you don’t need. We just want you to be happy with your garden. That’s why we have so many repeat customers and great reviews.
So, if you’re thinking about cutting down a tree, redesigning your garden, or just tidying things up, call Leicester Tree Services. We’ll come out, take a look, and give you free advice. There’s no pressure and no obligation. We’re happy to help, even if you just have questions. Let us take the stress out of landscaping and tree care.
