Social Media

Want to know how to stay connected with Leicester Tree Services? Or want to see firsthand what we do in gardens, hedges, and woodland around Leicester? That’s where social media comes in. Each platform—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and YouTube—brings something different to the table. We use them to show our work, offer helpful tips, tell stories about the trees we care for, and build real relationships with people in the community. Here’s how it all works.

Facebook is where we really connect with local people in and around Leicester. We post pictures of jobs we’ve done, like hedge trims, wood chipping, stump grinding, and lot clearing. We share before-and-after photos that show the difference our work makes. We also post stories about the day: maybe a birch tree that needed careful pruning, or a client who wanted extra mulch left behind for their plants. People comment, ask questions, and sometimes message to ask for a quote. We use Facebook Events when we offer spring or autumn discounts, and we run reminders when certain seasons are best for tree work—like winter for safe pruning. It’s a friendly, local place to get to know Leicester Tree Services and see our team in action.

Instagram helps us show the beauty and detail in what we do. With Instagram posts and stories, we share close-up shots of trimmed hedges with crisp edges, stacked logs ready for chipping, and woodland clearings after lot work. We also post short timelapses of us using wood chippers or climbing trees safely. When we shape a formal box hedge or tidy up a laurel hedge, we create visually satisfying posts showing the green before and the neat after. Instagram is visual, colourful, and creative—perfect for garden lovers and people thinking about landscaping. Followers can like, share, or repost our images, which helps neighbors and friends in Leicester find us too.

Twitter is our quick updates and news tool. Here we post short messages like “Just finished hedge trimming in Clarendon Park—what a transformation!” or “Reminder: we offer free stump grinding quote this week only.” Twitter lets us respond fast if someone has a question about tree care, share local news about weather or storms, or link to a blog post on seasonal pruning. We use relevant hashtags like #LeicesterGardens, #TreeCare, or #HedgeTrim so local people can find us when they search for services. It’s a fast way to join in conversations and stay connected with local concerns—like wind storms or council garden policies—that affect trees and outdoor spaces.

Pinterest is great for inspiration. On Pinterest boards, we post images of styles and ideas: neat formal hedges, natural landscape design, wood chip mulch ideas, and safe lot clearing. People often save our photos to their own boards when planning garden makeovers. Pinterest is about dreaming and planning—somebody might pin a stump grinding picture because they plan to plant flowers there later, or save a shaping idea for a future project. Our boards help people in Leicester and beyond see what’s possible and consider booking us when they’re ready.

LinkedIn lets us share our professional side. We post updates about training our team, buying new machinery, or certificates we’ve earned. When we finish a large commercial job or supply mulch to a local school or allotment association, we share it there. This platform helps us connect with local businesses, landscapers, property managers, building firms, and local councils. It shows we’re more than just a gardening service—we’re a trusted, local business with safe practices, insurance, and real skills.

YouTube is where we show longer videos of what we do. We might post a full video explaining how stump grinding works—what machines we use, how we protect the surrounding area, and how to stay safe. Or we film a job from start to finish: bringing in the chipper, loading branches, chipping them, and cleaning up. We also post helpful video guides, like “How to choose the best time of year to trim your hedge” or “Busy street safety when trimming large trees.” These videos are more than marketing—they’re educational, and they show our team’s experience and care in real time.

Across all these platforms, we keep our voice simple, friendly, and approachable. We don’t use jargon. We talk like neighbours: “We just tidied a garden in Westcotes—look how neat that hedge is now!” or “If you want that old stump gone, here’s how we do it.” We explain tree care terms where needed. We always invite people to ask a question or send a photo if they want a quote.

Our goal is to make tree care and landscaping relatable and trustworthy. Each platform serves a purpose. Facebook and Instagram let customers see what we do and message us directly. Pinterest inspires ideas. Twitter keeps us current with local news and storms or community events. LinkedIn shows our professionalism to other businesses. YouTube lets us go deeper with visuals and explanations. Together, they build confidence in Leicester Tree Services and help locals get to know us before we ever step foot in their garden.

We regularly monitor each platform. If someone comments or asks a question on Facebook or Instagram, we reply promptly. We check Twitter for mentions of storms or falling branches in Leicester. We update LinkedIn when we get new certifications or finish big jobs. We upload new YouTube videos a few times a year so people can learn about tree safety, plant health, and sustainable practices. Our Pinterest boards are refreshed seasonally, with mulching ideas in spring and winter protection tips in autumn.

We also cross‑share content. A Facebook post about a recent hedge shaping job gets shared as an Instagram post and sometimes pinned to Pinterest. A YouTube video is teased on Twitter with a link, and a big project shared on LinkedIn links back to that video. This way, we reach different types of people—garden lovers, professional clients, and curious homeowners—with messages that fit each platform.

People often ask us which platform to follow. Here’s our advice: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see current job photos, behind‑the‑scenes stories, and special offers. Subscribe to YouTube for helpful how‑to videos and a closer look at our work. Check Twitter for quick updates on availability, weather alerts, or helpful hints. And if you’re a business or organisation, connect with us on LinkedIn for professional updates and service news.

We’ve found that sharing helpful tips—like when it’s best to prune beesafe or how to avoid damaging roots during clearing—builds trust. When we share testimonials and real life examples, people feel doing business with us is low risk. And when we show photos of our team wearing safety gear, setting barriers, and cleaning up thoroughly, people see we care about safety and the environment as much as the trees themselves.

Being consistent matters too. Each week we try to post on at least two platforms—for example, a recent chipping job on Facebook and Instagram, and a short advice tweet about hedge care. We aim to publish a longer YouTube video every couple of months, refresh our Pinterest boards each season, and share a LinkedIn update when something new happens—like new staff training or new equipment. Over time, this steady presence helps people remember us when they need services.

We also use social media to run local offers. In spring, we run a “free small stump inspection” promo advertised on Facebook and shared to Instagram Stories. In autumn, we offer discounts for hedge trimming before nesting season begins. We do these offers only on social media so our followers get first notice.

In summary, Facebook brings conversation and local awareness, Instagram brings visuals and inspiration, Twitter gives quick news and tips, Pinterest helps people plan and dream, LinkedIn shows our business side, and YouTube educates through real video of what we do. Together they give a full picture of Leicester Tree Services—friendly, skilled, safe, and local. We use simple words and honest explanations, so people feel welcomed whether they need a hedge tidied or a full lot cleared. Social media isn’t just marketing for us—it’s part of how we care for and connect with our local community.

Follow us on your favourite platform—or on all of them—and you’ll always see what we’re doing in Leicester. Need a question answered, a quote, or some advice? We’re just a message away.
