Tree felling in Montana
Montana, in Pretoria North, is a suburb of two halves: established gardens with mature trees, and newer townhouse and commercial development built up around them. We connect property owners here with independent tree-felling contractors.
New development beside old gardens
Montana has grown steadily, and newer complexes and business stands now sit close to older gardens that were planted decades ago. That combination puts established trees within a few metres of new buildings, paving and parking, which is where tree problems usually start. A tree that had open ground around it can suddenly be overhanging a carport or lifting a paved area with its roots.
Fast-growing species are common in gardens like these, because they give shade quickly. They also reach a size where they need attention sooner than slower trees, and several of them fork or carry heavy limbs in a way that makes them worth inspecting before the storm season.
Typical tree requests in Montana
- Felling trees that now overhang a new building, carport or parking bay.
- Removing fast-growing trees that have outgrown a small garden.
- Grinding stumps where roots have lifted paving or a driveway.
- Storm cleanup after wind and hail break heavy limbs.
- Pruning to keep trees clear of roofs, walls and signage.
Roots, paving and structures
When a tree grows close to paving, a wall or a foundation, the roots can lift and crack hard surfaces over time. Removing the tree stops the problem getting worse, but the stump and the surface roots often still have to be dealt with before the ground can be repaired. That is why grinding is usually part of a job like this.
A contractor will look at what the roots have done and advise whether grinding alone is enough or whether the roots need more work before the paving is relaid.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on both homes and complexes in Montana?
Yes. On a complex, work on common property is arranged with the body corporate or managing agent first.
Can a stump be removed if it has lifted paving?
Grinding takes the stump down below the surface. Whether the roots also need work depends on what they have done, so a contractor looks at it on site.
How do I get rid of a fast-growing tree?
It is felled and the stump dealt with, the same as any other tree. Fast growers often need attention sooner because they reach a large size quickly.
Do you take the wood away?
Only if that is quoted. Say whether you want the logs and branches removed or left on site.
