Tree Surgeon Loughborough
Who we are
Qualified Tree Care on the Edge of Charnwood Forest
Loughborough sits where the Soar Valley meets Charnwood Forest, and its trees reflect both: waterside willows and poplars near the canal and river, and gnarled oaks and sweet chestnuts on the higher ground towards Nanpantan and the Outwoods. Managing that range takes more than a chainsaw, it takes species knowledge, and that is what our NPTC-qualified team brings up the M1 to every Loughborough job.
We work for homeowners, landlords with student HMOs near the university, and businesses across the town. Whether it is a precautionary survey on a veteran oak or the complete removal of a storm-split poplar, you get a written fixed quote and a crew that finishes the job in one scheduled visit.

Local knowledge
Loughborough, Charnwood and the Villages Between
Our Loughborough Coverage
We cover the whole town. Nanpantan, Woodthorpe, Shelthorpe, the Storer and Ashby Road areas around the university, and Dishley Grange, plus the Charnwood villages: Quorn, Barrow upon Soar, Sileby, Hathern, Shepshed and Woodhouse Eaves. If you are anywhere within sight of the Carillon tower, you are in our patch.
Charnwood Borough Council and Protected Trees
Tree Preservation Orders in Loughborough are administered by Charnwood Borough Council, and villages like Quorn and Woodhouse Eaves contain conservation areas where six weeks’ notice is required for most tree work. We confirm protection status before quoting and handle the paperwork, it is included, not extra.
Veteran Oaks and Student-Town Gardens
Charnwood’s ancient oaks are some of the oldest living things in Leicestershire, and where garden trees have veteran character we manage them conservatively, deadwood removal and weight reduction rather than hard cuts. In the terraced streets around the university the problems are different: neglected HMO gardens, self-seeded sycamores against walls, and hedges swallowing footpaths. We sort both worlds routinely.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Loughborough from your base, does it affect the price?
We are about 45 minutes away via the M1 and we batch Loughborough work into scheduled days, so travel does not inflate your quote. Quotes are free, written and fixed before any work begins.
My oak looks ancient, should it be pruned at all?
Possibly only lightly, if at all. Veteran oaks are best managed with minimal intervention: deadwood over targets, weight reduction on over-extended limbs, and no more. We assess each tree individually and will tell you honestly if leaving it alone is the right call.
Do you handle TPO applications to Charnwood Borough Council?
Yes, as standard. We check whether your tree is protected, prepare the application or conservation-area notice, and schedule the work as soon as consent lands, typically six to eight weeks.
Can you clear an overgrown garden at a student rental property?
Yes. HMO garden clearances around the university are regular work for us. We cut back overgrowth, remove self-seeded trees, reduce or remove hedges and take every scrap of waste away, with before-and-after photos for your file.
What do you do about ash dieback in the Loughborough area?
Ash dieback is well established across Leicestershire. Infected ash becomes brittle and unpredictable, so we assess severity, prune or fell as appropriate, and always recommend dealing with declining ash before it becomes dangerous to climb, early action is safer and cheaper.
