Practical guides on removal costs, permits, warning signs, stumps and storm safety, written for Pretoria homes.
These guides explain tree decisions in plain language: what actually drives the cost of a removal, whether you need a permit to cut a tree in Tshwane, how to tell whether a tree is dangerous, the difference between grinding a stump and removing it, and how to prepare for the storm season. They are written for Pretoria conditions.
We do not publish prices or technical limits that we cannot source. Where a figure would matter, we explain the factors behind it, or point you to the published source.
Two trees of the same height can be very different jobs, and that is why tree removal is quoted after a look rather than over the phone. This guide explains what a quote is actually paying for, so you can compare quotes sensibly and ask the right questions.
If you are planning to fell a large or old tree in Pretoria, the permit question should come before the quote, not after. This page explains what the issue is, what to check, and who to ask. It is general information, not legal advice.
A dangerous tree does not always look dangerous. Some of the clearest warning signs are at the base, hidden by shrubs, or high up where you rarely look. This guide covers what to check and when to stop looking and call someone.
Once the tree is down, the stump is still there, and there are two sensible ways to deal with it. Grinding takes it below ground level and leaves the roots. Full removal digs it out. This page explains the difference and when each one suits.
Pretoria's storm season runs roughly from October to March, and it is when most tree damage in the city happens. A little preparation in calm weather does more good than a scramble afterwards. This guide covers what to check and what to do when the weather turns.
