Yes, we can still tidy your hedge in nesting season. We'll check it over first, mind. March to August, active nests are protected by law. Spot birds in your beech or privet? We come back once the young have fledged.

Light shaping is usually fine. Heavy reductions? Best held off till September. Loads of hedges we look after round Knighton and Clarendon Park get their proper cut in autumn.

Not sure where yours stands. Leicester Tree Services will pop round for a free, no-obligation look anywhere across Leicester.

"Will crown reducing my old oak kill it?" Nope. Not if it's done right. Reducing and thinning a mature tree means cutting back to proper growth points and letting a bit more light through the canopy. Not topping it. Round the Victorian streets of Stoneygate and Knighton we do loads of lime, oak, beech that've sat untouched for decades. A sensible reduction takes weight off the tree before the autumn gales roll in. Mind you. Conservation area? We'll sort the TPO paperwork first. Give Leicester Tree Services a ring for a free look over.

"Do I really need the stump out?" Nine times out of ten, yes.

Leave it and you'll get suckers. Slow rot. On the clay round Knighton and Stoneygate, it'll trap moisture too, which plays havoc near foundations.

We grind down to about 200-300mm below grade. Backfill with the arisings or clean topsoil. Rake off.

Access matters. Narrow side gates? We bring the smaller machine.

Had a tree down after the autumn gales and want the stump gone before spring planting? Leicester Tree Services will pop round for a free look. Give us a shout.

People ask all the time when a tree really needs to come down. Honest answer: last resort. We usually recommend felling if it's dead. Structurally unsound. Badly diseased (ash dieback is everywhere round Leicester roadsides now). Or causing real subsidence on our clay soils. How we do it matters just as much. Tight gardens get sectional dismantling. Plenty of space? Straight fell. Always check for TPOs first, especially round Stoneygate or Knighton way. Leicester Tree Services gives you a straight opinion instead of just a quote. Give us a shout for a free inspection if you're not sure.

Can I get my hedge cut back in July? Only if it's checked for active nests first. Disturbing them is an offence. We're still well inside nesting season till the end of August, so anything past a light tidy usually needs to wait.

Summer's a decent window for spotting stress in mature limes and beeches round Stoneygate and Knighton. Especially after a dry spell on this clay.

Tree looking sorry for itself? Got a hedge you want lined up for September? Leicester Tree Services will come out for a free look round Leicester. No obligation.
