Premier Tree Care is a specialist arboriculture contractor delivering safe, reliable vegetation management services across the utility, commercial, and environmental sectors.

The company was founded in 2012 by Luke Farrell, originally operating under the name LF Arb. Prior to establishing the business, Luke spent many years working within the utility arboriculture sector for larger contractors. This experience gave him valuable insight into how arboricultural services could be delivered more effectively, safely, and with greater attention to quality.

In 2014 the company was rebranded as Premier Tree Care, reflecting a clear vision: to build a company large enough to deliver complex projects, yet small enough to care about every client and every job.

The business began by working as a tier 2 subcontractor for major utility providers. Operating within the utility sector demands the highest levels of safety, compliance, and technical competence, and this environment helped shape the company’s strong safety culture and professional standards.

Over the years, Premier Tree Care has steadily expanded its expertise, capabilities, and operational capacity, taking on increasingly complex contracts and challenges.

A major milestone came in 2025, when Premier Tree Care was awarded Tier 1 Contractor status with UK Power Networks in the East of England, placing the company among a small number of contractors. to have secured this position in the past 30 years.

Today, Premier Tree Care continues to build on its strong foundations in the utility sector. With extensive experience, specialist equipment, and a highly skilled team, the company now delivers services across multiple sectors.

In addition to tree cutting and vegetation management, Premier Tree Care now provides professional advice, surveying, reporting, and ecological support, offering clients a comprehensive arboricultural service.

Founder Luke Farrell remains closely involved in the company’s development, ensuring the same standards of safety, professionalism, and attention to detail that the business was built upon continue to guide its work today.
