Why You Might Need Tree Felling
Hazardous or Leaning Trees
If a tree is leaning over your home, fence or pool, its risk increases with Cape Town’s strong winds and heavy winter rains. A professional appraisal and felling plan can prevent damage to property or vehicles.
Site Clearance for Redevelopment
Planning renovations, extensions or new landscape installations in Rondebosch? Tree felling may be necessary to clear the space. We handle full removal and stump extraction cleanly.
Storm-Damaged or Diseased Trees
Storms or disease can render a tree unstable. Whether an over-spread root system, fungal infestation or broken limbs, our emergency-capable team can respond quickly.
Our Tree Felling Services in Rondebosch
Full Tree Removal
We remove large trees entirely when space allows, from top to bottom, using rigging and cranes where necessary.
Sectional Dismantling (Tight or Sensitive Areas)
In small gardens or near houses, we dismantle from top down in sections to avoid damage.
Post-felling Cleanup & Site Restoration
Once felled, we clear, chip, and haul away the wood, leaving your site tidy and safe.
Sectional Felling Near High-Value Structures
For large trees situated close to homes, boundary walls, or power lines, we utilise sectional felling. This means our climbing arborists remove the tree in small, manageable sections, carefully lowering each piece using complex pulley and rope systems. This is the only safe method for felling large Pine or Oak trees in the Rondebosch area, eliminating the risk of accidental damage to the surrounding environment and infrastructure.

Our Process
Our Tree Felling Process in Rondebosch
Removing a tree is a delicate job; here’s how we keep it safe and stress-free:
On-Site Assessment & Risk Check
Our arborist visits your property to evaluate species, lean, foliage, proximity to structures and access. We’ll check for overhead cables, neighbour gardens, historic walls or mature trees common in Rondebosch.
Safe Execution
We use sectional dismantling, rope systems or crane assistance depending on context. Every job in Rondebosch is executed with strict safety protocols, full PPE, and equipment suited to narrow lanes or heritage zones.
Stump Grinding & Site Clean-Up
Once the tree is down, we handle the wood chip, haul away debris, and if required, grind the stump to below ground level so you can immediately replant or pave. Your site is left spotless.

What Determines the Cost of Tree Felling in Rondebosch?
Tree felling costs are variable, but transparency is key. When we provide a quote, we factor in these specific elements relevant to the Rondebosch 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
The sheer volume of green waste and the labour required to haul it away from confined access points.
