Professional Tree Felling Services In Gauteng

The best time to cut down or prune a tree largely depends on the type of tree and the reason for the work. In general, late winter to early spring is considered the ideal time for most tree pruning, as this is when trees are still dormant, meaning they are not actively growing. Pruning during dormancy reduces stress on the tree, helps it heal faster, and minimizes the risk of disease or pest infestation.

For tree felling, timing can depend on factors like the weather, accessibility, and urgency. For instance, trees that are damaged, diseased, or posing an immediate threat need to be removed regardless of the season. However, if there’s flexibility, cooler months when the ground is firm and foliage is reduced tend to make the process smoother and more efficient.

At Jevis Tree Felling, we assess each tree individually and advise our clients on the best time to proceed based on the specific tree species, health, and surrounding environment. We believe in responsible tree care and always aim to minimize environmental impact while keeping safety as our top priority.

Professional tree felling is extremely important because it ensures the safety of people, property, and the surrounding environment. While cutting down a tree might look simple at first glance, it’s actually a highly technical task that requires specialized skills, knowledge, and equipment. Every tree is different in terms of size, weight, shape, and position, which means the approach to safely cutting it down must be carefully planned.

One of the biggest risks of DIY tree removal is the potential for the tree to fall in the wrong direction, causing serious damage to homes, vehicles, power lines, or even resulting in injury or loss of life. Additionally, without the proper tools and safety gear, the person doing the work is exposed to high risks of injury from falling branches, chainsaws, and unstable ladders. Professional teams like Jevis Tree Felling use industry-approved techniques, safety ropes, climbing equipment, and powerful machinery to control how the tree comes down and where each piece lands. We also handle the clean-up, ensuring that your property is left in a neat, hazard-free condition. Choosing professionals gives you peace of mind, ensures compliance with local regulations, and often saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly accidents or mistakes.

The cost of tree felling varies depending on several key factors, which is why we always recommend a site inspection before providing a formal quote. Some of the most common factors that affect the cost include the height and size of the tree, the type of tree species, its location on your property, and the level of risk involved.

For example, a small tree in an open area with easy access will cost significantly less to remove than a large, mature tree positioned near buildings, fences, or power lines. Trees that lean dangerously or are already damaged may require extra safety precautions, specialized equipment, and additional manpower, which can also influence the price. Another cost factor is whether you require stump grinding or complete removal of logs and debris after the felling.

At Jevis Tree Felling, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing the site, and we explain every aspect of the job so that you know exactly what you’re paying for. Our goal is to make professional tree care affordable and accessible to everyone in Gauteng.

After a tree is felled, there is usually a large amount of wood, branches, leaves, and debris left behind. At Jevis Tree Felling, we offer a complete clean-up service as part of our work. This means we not only cut down the tree but also take care of all the mess that follows.

We typically cut the tree into manageable pieces, chip smaller branches, and remove everything from the site unless the client specifically requests to keep the firewood or mulch. For larger properties or clients with specific landscaping plans, we can also leave certain portions of wood behind upon request. Our stump grinding service is also available for those who wish to completely remove all traces of the tree and prepare the ground for new planting, paving, or other uses.

Leaving the site clean, neat, and hazard-free is part of our promise, and we always ensure that the work area is thoroughly tidied before we consider the job complete. Whether it's a small residential yard or a large commercial property, our team handles every project with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Safety is the heart of everything we do at Jevis Tree Felling. We understand that tree felling can be dangerous work, not only for the team on site but also for people, pets, vehicles, and nearby structures. That’s why we follow strict safety protocols on every single job.

Our team is trained to conduct a thorough risk assessment before starting any work. This includes identifying hazards such as overhead power lines, unstable trees, nearby buildings, and ground conditions. We use professional-grade safety equipment including helmets, gloves, harnesses, ropes, and chainsaws that meet industry safety standards. Trees are carefully dismantled in sections when needed, especially in tight or tricky spaces, to avoid uncontrolled falls.

In addition to personal safety, we also take care to protect the property by using ground protection where necessary, securing loose objects, and working methodically to avoid damage to gardens, driveways, and walls. We are fully insured, which means you are protected in the unlikely event of any incident.

Our excellent 100% safety record reflects our commitment to doing the job right the first time while keeping everyone and everything safe.
