Tree Removal With a Proper Risk Assessment First

Tree removal starts with one question: has this tree become a risk to people or property? Tree Wise Tree Felling has spent more than 15 years assessing and removing hazardous trees across Gauteng, from dead garden trees to storm-damaged giants hanging over roofs, walls and power lines.

Every job begins with a free assessment and a fixed written quote, so you know exactly what the work costs before we begin. Not every problem tree has to come down, and if pruning or our professional tree felling crew can solve it more cheaply, we will say so. When removal is the right call, every branch and log is lowered with precision and your property is left clean and undamaged.

Signs You May Need Tree Removal

Trees add beauty, shade and value to a property, but these warning signs mean the tree has become a hazard that should be assessed by a professional.

Dead or dying branches

Branches dying back from the tips, or a tree that is dead or rotting, can fail without warning in Highveld wind and storms.

Disease or infestation

Fungal growth, borer beetles or spreading pests can kill a tree quietly and move to the healthy trees around it.

Leaning or tilting

A lean that developed after storms or saturated soil means the roots are failing and the tree can still go over.

Cracks and cavities

Deep splits, hollows or cavities in the trunk weaken the structure from the inside and often come before a fall.

Root damage

Exposed, cut or damaged roots, for example after construction or paving, destabilises the whole tree.

Storm damage

Trees thrown, split or lifted by wind should be assessed before they drop further limbs or fail completely.

Overhanging structures

Limbs interfering with roofs, walls or power lines put your family and property in the drop zone.

How We Remove Trees

Removal is planned work, not guesswork. We match the method to the tree, the space and everything underneath it.

Risk assessment first

We inspect the tree, its lean, its targets and the surroundings before deciding what comes down and how.

Climbing, crane or bucket truck

Depending on the tree’s position and size we climb it, bring in crane assistance or work from a bucket truck.

Lowered, never dropped

Branches and logs are roped down and lowered precisely, protecting roofs, walls, gardens and power lines.

Section by section in tight spaces

Trees close to structures are dismantled piece by piece instead of felled in one go.

Licensed, insured, owner supervised

Fully insured teams in full safety gear, with the owner on site to supervise from start to finish.

Debris cleared away

We remove the debris and leave your property tidy; stump removal can be added once the tree is down.

Tree Removal FAQs

How much does tree removal cost?

Published tree and removal prices range from R750 to R6500 per tree, depending on the size, position and access. Every job starts with a free quote, from photos on WhatsApp or an on-site assessment, so you know the price before we start. See our tree felling prices page for the full breakdown.

How long does tree removal take?

A typical removal takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on the size of the tree and whether stump removal is included. Once the tree is down, the team clears the debris and leaves your property tidy.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in South Africa?

In many cases, yes. Permits are issued by your local municipality or environmental authority, and requirements vary by area. Some species are protected and may not be removed without authorisation. We advise you during the quote.

Can I remove any tree on my property?

Certain tree species are protected by law and removing them without authorisation is illegal. Check your local regulations first, or speak to us before the job is planned.

Do I need a professional tree remover?

For large, leaning or dangerous trees, absolutely. Professionals are trained in safe removal techniques and carry the rigging and protective equipment the job demands. An untrained attempt puts people and property at risk.

Can I replant after a tree is removed?

Yes. Choose a species suited to the space and plant it well away from structures, walls and pipes. We can grind the stump out first so the new tree gets a clean start.

Do you handle emergency removals?

Yes. We run a 24/7 emergency tree service with a rapid response team for storm damage and dangerous trees. See our emergency tree felling page or call 076 231 4998 any time.
