Tree felling is the controlled removal of a full grown tree, from the first cut through to bringing it safely to the ground and clearing the site. It’s the service most often needed when a tree has grown too large, become dangerous, or simply needs to come down to make way for other plans.
Dead or dying trees, trees leaning towards a structure, overgrown trees crowding a garden, and trees that are simply no longer wanted are the most common reasons for tree felling in Pretoria and Centurion gardens and commercial properties.
Many of the trees we’re called out to fell are close to houses, boundary walls or driveways. That changes how the work is approached: instead of felling a tree in one piece, it may need to be cut and dismantled section by section, with each piece lowered under control rather than dropped.
Where there isn’t a clear drop zone, our tree fellers use rigging and sectional dismantling to bring a tree down piece by piece. This takes longer than a straightforward felling job, but it’s what keeps property and people safe.
Every felling job starts with an assessment of the tree’s lean, condition, root health and surroundings. This shapes the felling plan, whether it can come down in one piece, or needs to be dismantled from the top down.
Our crews work with chainsaws, rigging ropes and ladders suited to the tree’s height and position, always with the right protective equipment for the job.
Once the tree is down, the site is cleared of branches, logs and debris. If you’d also like the stump dealt with, that’s handled through our separate stump grinding or stump removal services.
Every tree is different, so we quote based on the tree’s size, position, access and the amount of work involved. Get in touch for a free quotation on tree felling in Pretoria or Centurion.
