James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

Colchester tree surgeon FAQs

How can I check if a tree in my Colchester garden has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?

Colchester City Council provides an interactive map that allows residents to search for TPOs and conservation areas. Our tree surgeons in Colchester are experienced in using these tools to identify protected status in areas like Lexden, Shrub End, and Wivenhoe, ensuring that all necessary applications are submitted to the council before work begins.

Do local arborists specialise in maintaining native Essex species like English Oak and Hornbeam?

Yes, our tree surgeons in Colchester have extensive knowledge of the native species found across Essex. Whether you have a mature English Oak requiring crown thinning or a Hornbeam hedge in need of professional shaping, our experts provide tailored care that respects the biological needs and growth patterns of local flora.

What are the rules for tree surgery skips and equipment on Colchester public highways?

If your tree work requires a skip or heavy machinery to be placed on a public road or pavement, a permit from Essex County Council is typically required. Your local tree surgeon can usually manage this process for you, ensuring that skip permits are secured and that appropriate safety lighting and markings are in place to comply with Essex Highways regulations.

Roberto and his team got in touch quickly. Gave me a competitive quote. Then came the next day and completed the job which was topping off a very large eucalyptus tree. There was more branches than he had expected, but lived up to his original quote. His positivity and can-do attitude is incredible. A real force! Highly reccomend
