Frequently asked questions
Tree Felling, Trimming & Stump Removal Gauteng questions
Do you remove all branches and logs?
Only when debris removal is included. Logs can also be cut to agreed lengths and left on site.
Can you work near a house or wall?
Often yes, using sectional cutting and rigging where appropriate. The specific risk and access must be assessed.
What about trees near power lines?
Do not approach a tree contacting or close to live lines. The electricity authority or an appropriately authorised specialist may need to isolate or manage the hazard.
Can you poison a stump?
Treatment may be suitable for selected species and situations. Product, timing and environmental precautions must be considered.
Is stump grinding the same as removal?
No. Grinding reduces the stump below surface level, while full digging removes more of the stump and roots but causes greater excavation.
