Emergency Storm Damage Clearing
Fast response for fallen or damaged trees after strong winds or storms, reducing risk to property and access routes.

Why Tree Felling Matters in Kommetjie
Kommetjie properties face unique conditions.
Strong coastal winds from the Atlantic increase the risk of falling branches. Sandy soil reduces root stability. Trees near homes in areas like Imhoff’s Gift or the Ocean View side can become hazardous quickly.
Common reasons for tree removal here:
- Storm-damaged or leaning trees
- Roots affecting foundations or paving
- Clearing space for renovations
- Overgrown trees blocking views
Some trees may require approval from the City of Cape Town, especially protected species.

What Does Tree Felling Cost in Kommetjie?
Tree felling costs are variable, but transparency is key. When we provide a quote, we factor in these specific elements relevant to the Kommetjie environment:
Tree size & height
Height, trunk diameter, and wood density (e.g., tough Oak wood vs. softer Pine) dictate labour time and disposal weight.
Location & accessibility (tight gardens vs. open spaces)
Proximity to buildings or power lines
(Highest Impact) Trees overhanging high-value areas require more rigging, time, and team members, increasing the cost.
Equipment and manpower required
Debris removal or chipping options
