Why Remove a Tree?
Tree removal is a significant decision, and it’s essential to understand the reasons why it might be necessary. Here are some of the most common scenarios where our clients choose to remove a tree:
- Construction or Renovation: Trees may need to be removed to make way for new buildings, extensions, pools, or driveways.
- Blocking Sunlight or Views: Overgrown trees can obstruct sunlight from entering your home or block desirable views.
- Safety Concerns: Damaged, old, or leaning trees can pose a danger to people and property, especially during storms.
- Dead or Dying Trees: Dead trees can fall unexpectedly, causing damage and posing risks to people and animals.
- Rapid Growth: Trees that grow too large can encroach on buildings, sidewalks, power lines, or other structures.
- Disease and Pests: Infected or diseased trees can become weak and threaten the health of surrounding plants.
- Root Damage: Roots can harm foundations, sidewalks, driveways, and underground utilities.
- Allergies: Certain trees produce pollen that can trigger allergies in some individuals.
- Debris Issues: Trees that drop excessive fruit, seeds, or leaves can create a mess that is difficult to manage.
- Aesthetic Reasons: Trees that clash with your landscape design can be replaced with more suitable options.
Our Tree Removal Process
At Leicester Tree Services, we aim to make the tree removal process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Here’s how we work:
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We start by understanding your needs. You can either send us photos or videos of the tree in question, or we can visit your property for a free inspection. During the assessment, we evaluate the size, condition, and location of the tree, as well as any surrounding structures or hazards.
Step 2: Detailed Quote
After the assessment, we provide a written quote outlining the price, timeline, and other details. Every job is unique, and our quotes are tailored to your specific requirements.
Step 3: Flexible Options
We offer flexible tree removal options to suit your preferences:
- Felling the tree and leaving it on the ground for you to handle.
- Cutting the tree into manageable 30 cm sections.
- Fully removing the tree, including cleanup and disposal.
- Grinding the stump for a complete finish.
Let us know your preferences, and we will customize our services accordingly.
Step 4: Tree Removal
Our team employs two main methods for tree felling: straight felling and sectional felling. The choice of method depends on the tree’s size, location, and surrounding environment.
Tree Felling Methods
Straight Felling
Straight felling involves cutting the tree at its base and guiding it to fall in a controlled direction. This method is ideal for open spaces with no nearby structures or obstacles. We use precise techniques, such as creating a face notch and back cut, to ensure the tree falls safely and accurately.
Sectional Felling
For trees located in tight or confined spaces, we use sectional felling. This method involves climbing the tree with safety equipment or using a lift to remove it piece by piece. Branches are removed first, followed by cutting the trunk into manageable sections. Each piece is carefully lowered to the ground to prevent damage to the surrounding area. Sectional felling is a meticulous process, but it allows us to safely remove trees in even the most challenging locations.
Stump Removal Services
After the tree is felled, the remaining stump can be unsightly or obstructive. We offer professional stump grinding services to remove stumps and restore your property’s appearance. Using specialized equipment, we grind stumps down to about 30 cm below ground level. The resulting hole is filled with wood chips and soil, ensuring a smooth and natural finish. If you have specific preferences for the filling material, let us know, and we’ll accommodate your request.
Affordable Pricing
At Leicester Tree Services, we offer expert tree removal at a fair cost. The cost of tree removal depends on several factors, including:
- The size of the tree.
- Accessibility for our crew and equipment.
- The chosen felling method (straight or sectional).
- Cleanup and disposal requirements.
We also offer volume discounts for clients who need multiple trees removed. Contact us for a free inspection or send us photos/videos for an accurate quote.
Safety First
Safety is our top priority in every tree removal project. Tree felling is inherently risky, which is why we take extra precautions to minimize hazards. Before starting, we conduct a thorough assessment to identify potential risks and develop a detailed safety plan. Our team uses advanced equipment and follows industry-standard safety protocols to ensure a smooth and secure operation. Additionally, all our personnel are covered by liability and personal injury insurance for your peace of mind.
