Our Story

George Walker (Tree Care) Ltd was incorporated as a limited company in 1992, but the business it represents is older than that by almost forty years.

Our roots go back to 1953, when George Walker & Sons began operating as a tree surgery business from their base in Glenfield, Leicestershire.

The 1992 incorporation brought together the tree surgery expertise of George Walker & Sons with the forestry division of George Walker Ltd, the Syston-based sawmill and timber merchant.

The result was a unified company with exceptional depth of knowledge across both arboriculture and commercial forestry, a combination that remains central to how we operate today.

More than seventy years in the trade is not something that happens by accident. It reflects generations of skilled arborists, a long-term commitment to training and qualifications, and a reputation built on doing the work properly, safely, professionally, and to the standard our clients expect.

Our Values

  • Standards-led — all work carried out to BS3998:2010 as a baseline, not a target
  • Independently verified — our accreditations are regularly reassessed, not self-declared
  • Commercially reliable — clear written quotations, competent teams, work completed to schedule
  • Long-term relationships — many of our commercial clients have worked with us for many years

Based in Syston, working across the region

We are based at our yard in Syston, Leicestershire, and undertake work across Leicestershire, Rutland and the surrounding counties.
