Tree Felling in Pretoria
Tree felling in Pretoria is mostly garden and complex work: big gums, pines and jacarandas standing close to houses, walls and pools, so many trees come down in sections.

Pretoria notes on felling & removal
Removing a big jacaranda in Brooklyn or Lynnwood usually means taking it down in sections over walls and pavements, then grinding the stump so the paving can be relaid. In Mooikloof and on the plots around Montana and Kameeldrift, there is often room to fell gums and syringas whole, which is quicker. Pavement trees on Arcadia streets need municipal approval first, so ask before anyone starts.
Trees in Pretoria
Pretoria is the Jacaranda City, and the purple avenues of Arcadia, Brooklyn, Muckleneuk and Waterkloof are why. Those jacarandas are now large, heavy trees, often planted on pavements, and their roots lift paving and driveways. Further east, the estates of Faerie Glen, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Woodhill have younger gardens full of fast growing trees that outgrow small stands. The city sits warmer than Johannesburg, with hot summers, violent thunderstorms and lightning, and frost in the low valleys. Body corporates, homeowners and smallholders north of the Magaliesberg ask most for trimming off roofs, removing storm damaged trees and grinding stumps. Jacaranda has an invasive listing in some places, so check the listing for your tree and area.
