Tree Felling Prices in Johannesburg | Pretoria
Tree work is one of the hardest jobs to price without visiting the property and making an assessment, not only is every tree different but every garden also has differing access requirements! The price for felling a tree will ultimately depend on the height of the tree, the overhang, access, the type of tree, proximity to public footpath or road, the disposal of the tree and whether or not you want the stump grinded down. The prices quoted will also vary depending on your location,

If the tree overhangs a public road or footpath, then permission is required to close off the area which is expensive so will impact the overall cost. Once a tree has been felled, if you can dispose of the waste yourself perhaps adding to the compost heap and/or using as fuel for a wood burning stove. Moving a felled tree to the front of a property and loading it onto a vehicle takes time and costs money, especially as trees can weigh several tonnes! Stump grinding can stop the tree roots forming into a new tree so is worthwhile but again adds costs.
When trees are felled their stumps should be removed to prevent suckering (a new tree plant growing out of the old stump). Although stumps are often large and heavy, they can sometimes be completely removed with the right equipment. Tree stumps can be removed any time, but paying tree surgeons to remove the stumps when they are felling the tree is the most convenient way as chemical stump killers need to be applied to the freshly cut wood immediately after felling. Otherwise, the stump will need to be recut before the chemical stump killer is applied. Physical stump removal is the best solution if the stump can be removed entirely by pulling it out with a winch. failing that, grubbing out using a mechanical mini-excavator will remove the majority of the root system. Stump grinders can also mechanically grind out the main root plate into fine sawdust.
It cannot be emphasised enough that tree felling is dangerous and should not be attempted without having the knowledge and experience of using chain saws safely plus of course wearing the correct personal protective equipment.
Cost To Fell A Tree
The average cost to fell a tree can range in price massively depending upon numerous reasons including the height, diameter and type of tree, as well as its position in the garden. Naturally, the larger the tree the more expensive it will be to cut it down. Ease of access is important too as the more difficult it is to get to the tree the longer it will take and thus the cost will increase.
Below are some estimated costs of hiring a tree surgeon to fell a tree. These prices include cutting down the tree to it's stump as well as removing any waste. If you want the stump removing as well expect to add another R1000 to R4500.
Palm Tree Felling : R 1 000.00 – R 5 000.00
There are many species of palm tree out there, but generally, the average height of a palm tree felling is between 5m to 15m. Some varieties soar up to 20m though. As you already know, the total amount that you’ll pay to have a tree removed depends on how large it is. If you have a smaller palm tree, you might pay as little as R800 or so. If your palm tree is extremely tall though, you could pay R2 000.00 or more. This is another example of why it pays to collect quite a few tree removal quotes before hiring a contractor.
