About Shire Trees & Hedges
Shire Trees & Hedges is a tree surgery business in Colchester run by Omar, a qualified arborist. The business was founded in 2009 and carries out tree felling, sectional dismantling, crown reduction, crown raising, thinning, deadwood removal, woodland coppicing, hedge trimming and tree planting for domestic and commercial clients throughout Essex and Suffolk.
Tree felling is performed when there is space to fell a tree in one piece using precise cutting at ground level. Sectional dismantling is used when a tree must be removed completely but space is limited, with specialist rigging equipment employed to lower limbs safely to the ground. Crown reduction creates a smaller and safer structure while maintaining the natural shape. Crown raising removes lower branches to raise the crown and allow more light and headroom. Thinning involves selective pruning of inner branches to let light and air penetrate the canopy. Deadwood removal takes away dead or damaged branches from storm damage or over time. Woodland coppicing cuts trees close to the ground to create stools for regrowth on a seven to ten year rotation depending on species. Hedge trimming keeps established hedges dense and compact, with formal hedges requiring more frequent trimming than informal ones. Trees are planted free of charge for any customer requiring a tree to be removed.
The business covers Colchester and the surrounding area, working for homeowners and commercial premises.
