What Our Tree Felling Service Includes
How much does tree felling cost in Johannesburg North & West?
Tree felling costs in Johannesburg North & West typically range from R850 for small garden trees to R12,000+ for large, complex jobs near structures or power lines. The final price depends on height, trunk diameter, accessibility, whether stump grinding is included, and the urgency of the job. Small tree felling (under 5 metres) costs R850–R2,500 and takes 1–2 hours. Large felling near buildings costs R3,500–R12,000+ and takes 3–6 hours. Stump grinding is R450–R1,500. We provide free, no-obligation on-site assessments and transparent quotes via WhatsApp on +27631302601.
When should you call a professional tree felling team in Johannesburg North & West?
You should call a professional when a tree is dead, diseased, storm-damaged, leaning dangerously toward a structure, or has roots threatening your foundation, driveway, or municipal pavement. In Gauteng's summer thunderstorm season (November–March), overhanging branches and unstable trees become especially hazardous. If you notice cracks in the trunk, large dead branches, or fungi growing at the base, contact JMT Handyman Services immediately for a free safety assessment.
What safety equipment and techniques do we use?
Our team uses industry-grade chainsaws, rigging ropes, safety harnesses, and controlled dismantling techniques to fell trees section by section. For trees near buildings or power lines, we use directional felling and lowering ropes to control each section's descent. All our work follows strict safety protocols and we carry public liability insurance. We are fully compliant with South African safety standards and the National Forests Act (Act 84 of 1998).
Do you offer emergency tree felling 24/7 in Johannesburg North & West?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency tree felling and storm damage cleanup across Northcliff, Cresta, Randburg, Roodepoort, Ruimsig, Sandton, Fourways, and Weltevrede. Our emergency response team typically arrives within 30–60 minutes to safely fell fallen trees, clear debris, and secure the site. Storm-damaged trees that have fallen on roofs, vehicles, or power lines are prioritised for immediate response.
What happens to the stump after tree felling?
After felling, the remaining stump can be an eyesore and a tripping hazard. Our stump grinding service grinds stumps below ground level (typically 15–30cm deep), preventing regrowth and preparing the area for new landscaping, paving, or lawn. Stump grinding costs R450–R1,500 depending on stump diameter and root spread. We also offer complete root clearance for larger stumps.
