When Do You Need Emergency Tree Felling
Fallen or Leaning Trees After Storms
Cape Town’s Sudden gusts or heavy rains can uproot even mature trees. If your tree is now leaning over a roof, fence or driveway, it’s an urgent risk that needs professional removal.
Trees Threatening Structures, Roofs or Powerlines
A tree brushing or leaning into power lines or rooftops is a serious hazard both to property and life. We handle high-risk removals, especially where power or access is compromised.
Root Failure or Sudden Collapse Risk
Sometimes you’d rather act before a fall. If you’ve spotted root lift, cracks in the trunk, splitting bark or fungus, it’s time to engage an emergency arborist. We’re ready.

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
Time of day & emergency nature (after hours may cost more)
