Why Proper Tree Trimming Matters in Newlands
Safety & Storm Risk Reduction
In Newlands, trees grow tall and strong, excellent for shade, but with that height comes risk. Weak or overgrown limbs can snap in Cape winds or storms, threatening roofs, driveways or power lines. Regular trimming ensures your trees stay healthy and safe.
Aesthetic & Property Value Enhancement
Well-trimmed trees elevate your garden’s look and the overall property value. Clean lines, good sightlines and balanced canopies make a subtle but powerful difference.
Health & Longevity of Your Trees
Trimming away deadwood, crossed limbs, or dense crowns allows light and air to reach the heart of the tree, promoting growth and reducing disease risk. That means a longer life for the trees you love.

What factors affect the Cost of Trimming in Newlands
Every tree and every property is different. That’s why we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” pricing. The cost of tree felling depends on factors such as:
Tree size & height
Location & accessibility (tight gardens vs. open spaces)
Proximity to buildings or power lines
Equipment and manpower required
Debris removal or chipping options

Best Season for Trimming in Newlands
Late winter to early spring is often ideal. Trees are less active, with fewer leaves to remove, and the risk from regrowth is lower.
