Tree care & clean-up in Sandton: local notes
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.
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.

Tree Trimming usually suits garden trees, hedges, screens and overhangs, done like this: crowns lifted, overhangs cut, hedges shaped.
