What to know locally in Sandton
Morningside, Sandhurst and Illovo homeowners mostly ask for crown thinning, deadwood removal and lifting branches clear of roofs and security fences. A qualified arborist can assess an old oak for decay before you decide to remove it. Willows and poplars along the Braamfontein Spruit near Rivonia sucker heavily, so alien tree removal along the stream should include treating stumps and later follow up.
Trees in Sandton
Sandton's older suburbs were laid out on big stands with big trees: Bryanston, Hurlingham, Sandhurst and Morningside still have oaks, pines, bluegums and plane trees planted on what were once one acre plots. Many of those stands are now being subdivided into clusters and townhouses, so developers and new owners ask for trees to be removed before building starts. Elsewhere, homeowners want heavy limbs lifted off roofs, tennis courts and pools. The Braamfontein Spruit and the Sandspruit carry willows and poplars that fall in summer storms. Highveld lightning and hail are part of every summer here. Check with the municipality before touching pavement trees, and check whether any tree on a stand is protected.
Typical tree cutting services requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: taking down a big tree next to the house, pool or wall without damage
- Developers and building sites: taking down trees close to existing buildings on a site before construction
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: removing trees between units and over walkways where nothing can be dropped
