Tree Felling in Kempton Park
We do tree felling in Kempton Park. We cut the tree down, load up every branch and log, and grind out the stump if you want it gone. We do this all over Kempton Park, from home gardens in Glen Marais and Birchleigh to the gum trees on the Bredell and Pomona plots and the business yards in Isando.
We have been doing tree felling across Gauteng for ten years, and we are fully insured on every job. If the tree isn't urgent, send us photos or have us come look, and we will give you a written price, clean-up included, then book a day that suits you.

Glen Marais, Birchleigh, and the Older Suburbs
Glen Marais has some of the biggest residential stands in Kempton Park, and the trees on them have had fifty years to fill the space. Big pines, jacarandas, and the odd blue gum tree planted along the back walls now shade half the garden, drop needles into the pool, and hang over the neighbour's roof. Birchleigh, Norkem Park, Edleen, Van Riebeeck Park, Croydon, and Aston Manor have the same story on smaller stands, where a tree that was a nice idea in the 1980s now sits a metre from the house.
On a Glen Marais stand there is often room to drop part of the tree in one piece, which keeps the cost down. Anything over the roof or the wall still comes down on ropes, one section at a time. If the tree is healthy and the problem is a few limbs, tree trimming and crown reduction costs less than a removal, and we will tell you when that is the better call.
Bredell, Pomona, and the Plots
North and east of the town, the agricultural holdings in Bredell, Pomona, and Mooifontein are a different kind of job. These are open plots with rows of old gum trees along the boundaries and plot roads, wattle and syringa thickets in the corners, and dead trees nobody has dealt with in years.
Open ground means most of these trees can be felled whole, which makes a row of ten far cheaper per tree than ten separate garden jobs. The catch on plot roads is overhead power lines. We do not cut any tree whose fall or branches could reach a live line until the utility has made it safe, and we will tell you who to call if that applies to your plot. Where you want the land cleared completely, we combine the felling with alien and invasive tree removal or full land clearing.
Warehouses, Yards, and Commercial Sites Near the Airport
Isando, Spartan, Jet Park, Chloorkop, and the industrial strip around OR Tambo are full of trees nobody planted on purpose: self-seeded gum trees and syringas growing up through perimeter fences, over loading bays, and into electric fence lines. Left alone, they take down fencing, damage roofing, and create gaps in security.
Commercial work runs around your operation, not the other way round. We can work on a Saturday so trucks keep moving during the week, keep the crew inside a cordoned zone, and leave the yard swept. Facilities managers who would rather deal with fence-line trees twice a year than after every storm can set that up through our estate and commercial tree maintenance service.

Tree Felling Prices in Kempton Park
Most published prices around Kempton Park start at about R1,500 for a basic felling. Ours start lower: about R850, for a small tree you can walk straight up to. A mature pine or jacaranda over a house in Glen Marais is several thousand rand, because it takes a crew most of a day on ropes. A row of gum trees on a plot is priced as one job, which brings the cost per tree well down. Commercial sites are quoted per site after a walk-through.
The full size-based ranges are on our tree felling prices page. Stump grinding appears as its own line, so you can leave it off. Send us photos for a written figure.
The Tree on the Pavement Belongs to Ekurhuleni
Kempton Park falls under the City of Ekurhuleni, not Johannesburg, so the rules for street trees are Ekurhuleni's. The tree on the verge outside your gate belongs to the municipality, and cutting or removing it without permission can get you fined, even when its roots are pushing up your driveway. If it is dead or dangerous, report it to the City's parks department first. For trees inside your own boundary, and for protected species, our permits and bylaws guide sets out when you need anyone's approval.
