Tree care & clean-up in Johannesburg: local notes
Pruning work in Saxonwold, Melville and around Zoo Lake is mostly deadwood removal, lifting crowns off roofs and thinning plane trees that have been weakened by borer damage. An arborist can tell you whether a tree is worth saving before you pay for felling. Ask for thinning, not topping, and ask whether the chips can stay on site as mulch for the beds along the Braamfontein Spruit side of the garden.
What grows around Johannesburg
Johannesburg is often called one of the largest planted urban forests in the world, and most of that canopy sits in the old northern suburbs. Parktown, Houghton, Saxonwold, Parkview and Melville grew up under plane trees, English oaks, pin oaks, jacarandas and towering bluegums planted a century ago. Many are now old, top heavy and sharing small stands with houses, walls and overhead cables. The shot hole borer beetle has weakened plane trees in parts of the city, and summer thunderstorms bring down limbs that were already dying. Homeowners ask for crown reductions, deadwood removal and sectional felling over roofs. Street trees usually belong to the city, so check with the municipality before anyone cuts a pavement tree.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: braai wood and fireplace logs delivered and stacked before the winter cold
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: firewood for clubhouse fireplaces and communal braai areas in estates
- Schools, churches and municipalities: wood for school, church and community fundraisers and braai days

A useful tip: ask whether the tree is a pavement tree and who has to give permission first.
