When is Tree Removal Necessary?
Not every tree needs to go, but some can become dangerous if left too long. Here’s when removal is often necessary:
Hazardous or Dying Trees
Trees weakened by disease, rot, or old age are unpredictable. Removing them early prevents sudden collapse.
Trees Affecting Structures or Utilities
When branches brush your roof, wall, wires or foundations, it’s time to act before damage occurs.
Re-landscaping or Site Clearance
Removing unwanted or overgrown trees to make space for new designs or renovations.

We take down large trees entirely when space allows, from top to base, using rigging and cranes where needed.

Removing a tree is a delicate job; here’s how we keep it safe and stress-free:
Site Preparation & Safety
Block off drop zones, secure the area, and move outdoor items.
Choose the Right Method
Fell in one piece (open spaces) or dismantle in sections with ropes/rigging (tight urban gardens).
Controlled Cutting
Section-by-section removal with precision handling to protect nearby structures.
Thorough Cleanup
Branches chipped, debris cleared, logs cut to manageable sizes.
Transparent & Affordable Tree Felling Prices 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
Larger trees need more cuts, more rigging, and more time.
Location & accessibility (tight gardens vs. open spaces)
Walls, fences, adjacent houses or tight gardens raise complexity.
Proximity to buildings or power lines
Equipment and manpower required
Debris removal or chipping options
