Why Tree Felling Matters in Oranjezicht
Oranjezicht sits on the slopes of Table Mountain. This creates unique challenges.
Properties near Deer Park and Gardens border steep terrain. Trees grow tall and can become unstable over time. Strong winds funnel down from the mountain, increasing the risk of falling branches.
Common reasons for tree removal:
- Trees leaning toward homes
- Roots damaging walls or paving
- Clearing space for renovations
- Overgrown trees blocking views
Many properties are older, with limited access. This makes sectional removal essential.
In some cases, approval from the City of Cape Town may be required for protected trees.

How Tree Felling Works in Oranjezicht
Removing a tree is a delicate job; here’s how we keep it safe and stress-free:
Site Inspection & Risk Assessment
The site is assessed for slope, access points, surrounding structures, and potential hazards to plan a safe approach.
Safety Planning
A clear strategy is set, including drop zones or sectional removal methods for tight or high-risk areas.
Controlled Tree Removal
The tree is removed safely using top-down cutting or direct felling, depending on space and conditions.

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
