TreeRemovals.co.za is a free quote service for tree felling, tree removal and tree care in South Africa. Whether a gum is leaning over the house, a storm has dropped a limb on the carport, the palms beside the pool have grown too tall, the stumps need grinding before the paving goes down, or you need a chainsaw, a chipper or firewood at a fair price, one request reaches the tree fellers, arborists and suppliers near you.
How it works
Fill in the felling plan at the bottom of the page: how many trees, how tall the tallest is, what it could hit if it fell and how far away that is, access, and what should happen to the wood and the stump. The plan draws the tree from above with its drop zone and shows whether it can likely be felled whole or must come down in sections. For hire, say the machine and the days; for chainsaws, firewood or gear, say how many. We send your request to tree fellers, arborists, hire yards and suppliers who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.
Everything we take requests for
From a bluegum leaning over a roof in Centurion to a row of storm-split pines on a Free State farm, palms beside a pool in Durban North, five stumps to grind in a Pretoria East garden, a jacaranda to lift off a driveway in Johannesburg, a chipper to hire for a weekend in the Winelands, or a petrol chainsaw and chaps for a garden service in Gqeberha.

Getting tree felling quotes you can compare
Two quotes to "take the tree down" can mean very different jobs. Check that each one says how it will come down (felled whole or in sections), what is removed (logs, branches, leaves and chips), whether the stump is ground and how deep, who repairs anything damaged, and that the team carries public liability insurance and wears proper chainsaw protective gear. The cheapest quote often leaves the wood on your lawn.
