Tree Felling in Sandton
Tree felling in Sandton 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. Send the height and a few photos and tree felling services working around Sandton will quote, including whether they chip, cut logs or remove the wood.
The main tree felling page explains the work, the safety points and the costs in more detail.
What to know locally in Sandton
On a Bryanston or Hurlingham stand being split into clusters, several large pines and gums may need to come down before the first foundation is dug. Some can be felled whole across an open lawn; others stand beside a neighbour's house and need rigging. Ask whether stumps will be ground or dug out, because new foundations along Bryanston Drive often need the root plate gone.
What grows around 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.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Homeowners: a tree over the roof, the pool or the neighbour's wall felled or taken down in sections, stump and all
- Developers and building sites: trees and bush cleared from a stand before building, with the stumps out of the way of the foundations
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: trees on common ground and along walls dealt with under the body corporate's or HOA's rules
Local tips for Sandton
Common here: clearing big old trees on stands being subdivided, and lifting limbs off roofs. Ask each team or supplier about this: ask whether stumps will be ground or dug out if building work will follow. Where they work from: teams from Randburg, Fourways and Midrand; hire yards along Malibongwe and Main Road.
Requests range widely: small garden trees to 30 m gums. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a gum or pine too close to the house, pool or boundary wall taken down safely. One local point to raise: old oaks, pines, bluegums, plane trees and willows along the spruits.
