If you are involved in a large project, litigation or a planning matter involving trees, you may require the services of a recognised "tree surgeon" or arboricultural consultant. The Council can advise you on this as a separate issue.
The Arboricultural Association has approved a list of contractors and consultants located and working in Leicestershire and surrounding counties. The list is provided for your information and is not a list of contractors recommended by Leicester City Council.
The following web site provides information on finding a competent tree surgeon, including general advice on selecting an arborist, a brief description of the various voluntary accreditation schemes for tree care companies in the UK and a post code and county based search to locate accredited companies.
Please contact our Planning Officer (Trees) for advice
or further information.
