Tree Felling Services in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is South Africa’s biggest city and one of the greenest cities in the world, and its leafy suburbs owe much of their character to mature trees growing close to homes, walls and power lines. Tree Wise Tree Felling has spent more than 15 years felling trees across Gauteng, from single garden trees to complex removals in tight spaces.

Every quote is free and fixed before we begin, worked out from photos you send on WhatsApp or an on-site assessment. Whether we climb the tree, bring in crane assistance or use a bucket truck, every branch and log is lowered with precision and your property is left clean.

Signs a Tree in Your Johannesburg Garden Needs to Come Down

Removal is a last resort, but these signs mean the tree has become a risk.

Dead or decaying

A dead or rotting tree can fail without warning in a Highveld storm.

Leaning suddenly

A new lean after storms or saturated ground means the roots are failing.

Cracks in the trunk

Deep splits or cavities weaken the structure and often precede a fall.

Storm damaged

Trees split or thrown by wind should be assessed before they drop further.

Infested

Borer beetles or other infestations can kill a tree and spread to its neighbours.

Too close to structures

Trees overhanging roofs, walls or power lines put your property at risk.

How We Fell Trees in Johannesburg

We choose the method that suits the tree, the space and what sits below it.

Climbing, crane or bucket truck

The method depends on position and size; every branch and log is lowered on a rope, never dropped.

Section by section

Trees in tight suburban spaces are dismantled piece by piece to protect roofs, walls and gardens.

Full safety gear

Hard hats, harnesses, gloves, glasses and chainsaw-resistant pants on every job.

Owner supervised

The owner is on site to supervise the work from start to finish.

Site left clean

Debris cleared and green waste recycled when we leave.
