Gauteng notes on tree care & clean-up
Jacaranda pruning is a regular request in Brooklyn, Menlo Park and Waterkloof, where crowns spread over roofs and gutters fill with purple flowers and pods. Around Emmarentia, Linden and Greenside, garden services lift plane tree and oak canopies off driveways and power lines, then chip the branches on the pavement. Bluegum and syringa owners often ask about alien removal and follow-up, since both can resprout from the stump.
Gauteng: trees, weather and gardens
Gauteng is a planted forest on a grassland plateau. Pretoria's jacarandas, the old bluegum rows of Johannesburg and the plane trees and pin oaks of the northern suburbs were put in by people a long time ago, and many now tower over houses, pools and boundary walls. Highveld summer storms bring hail, lightning and sudden gusts that split crowns and drop limbs on roofs and cars, so calls climb between October and March. Homeowners, security estates and body corporates ask most for sectional felling on tight stands, crown lifting off roofs and stump grinding. Street trees usually belong to the municipality, and gums and jacarandas may be listed invaders, so check the listing for your tree before anyone cuts.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: lifting crowns off roofs and gutters and cutting back branches over the pool
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping common area trees off units, roads and walkways on a yearly cycle
- Businesses and commercial property: trimming car park and frontage trees so signage, lights and cameras stay clear

Most asked for in Gauteng: sectional felling of tall gums and jacarandas on small stands and in complexes. Where tree fellers and hire yards work from: teams work from Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand and cover the whole province. A useful tip: ask whether the quote covers rigging over the wall and taking every log away.
Around Gauteng the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means lifting crowns off roofs and gutters and cutting back branches over the pool.
