Key Factors That Affect Your Quote
No two trees or yards are exactly alike! To give you an accurate price, we look at the physics of the job and how much risk is involved:
- Height and Thickness: Taller trees with thicker trunks take more time, labor, and heavy-duty gear to bring down safely.
- Property Hazards: Trees squeezed tight against boundary walls, roofs, or swimming pools require delicate, piece-by-piece lowering.
- Tree Species: Harder, denser woods take more power and cause more wear on cutting equipment.
- Site Accessibility: If our equipment can’t park right next to the tree, our team will move heavy branches manually, which adds to the labor time.
Why Do Power Lines Increase Tree Felling Costs?
If you live in an older Boksburg neighborhood where branches are tangled near overhead electricity cables, extra precautions are a must. Following Eskom safety guidelines, working near active power lines requires official safety clearance zones, insulated equipment, and special rigging systems (like blocks and tackles) to lower branches safely without risking electrical arcing or power outages.
Because this demands highly specialized, certified climbing experts and extra setup time, dangerous removals naturally cost a bit more; but your safety and property protection are well worth it.
Clean Yards and Responsible Waste Management
We don’t just cut your tree down and leave you with a mess. A big part of our service is carefully taking the tree down in sections to protect your paving and lawn, followed by a thorough site cleanup.
Because local dumping fees and fuel costs affect waste disposal, we use wood chippers on-site to minimize load volume wherever possible. We then sort everything into green waste and reusable firewood so your yard is left spotless.

FAQs
Does the price include stump removal?
No, stump grinding or chemical poisoning is typically quoted as a separate line item because it requires distinct machinery and secondary site preparation.
How does proximity to power lines affect the quote?
Proximity increases the price because specialised insulated tools, safety gear, and controlled rigging techniques are mandatory to prevent utility damage or electrical arcing.
Are there discounts for multiple trees?
Yes, volume discounts are common because the fixed costs of mobilising our team and equipment are spread across several tasks in a single site visit.
Who is responsible for municipal permits?
The property owner is typically responsible for securing necessary permits. However, our team provides guidance on whether the specific tree species is protected under local environmental laws or municipal bylaws.
