Emergency Tree Felling Irene
When a tree comes down in Irene — on a roof, vehicle, driveway or boundary wall — minutes matter. Our standby crew targets a 60-minute arrival inside Irene, day or night. Generator-powered saws, climbing gear and chipper truck on every call.
24/7 Emergency Tree Removal in Irene, done properly
Emergency tree removal in Irene is a phone call away on 078 600 6367 — answered 24/7, no voicemail. We make the site safe first (release pressure off whatever the tree landed on), then dismantle and clear it on the same visit when possible.
After a Highveld storm, two things matter: making your property safe, and getting the tree off whatever it landed on before more damage happens. Our emergency line is answered at 2 AM the same as 2 PM — no voicemail routing.
We bring a generator-powered chainsaw kit, climbing gear, rigging ropes and the chipper truck. Insurance documentation is supplied on-site for your claim.
What we see on Irene jobs specifically
On Irene jobs specifically we work mostly on heritage Irene village plus the modern Irene Country Lodge estates. The trees we see most often are Plane tree, Pin oak, Jacaranda, Pine and Stinkwood. Access is good in heritage areas; estate-controlled in the country club. The recurring issue: old plane and oak trees lining village streets — every removal needs heritage check.
Tree species we work with in Irene
Plane tree, Pin oak, Jacaranda, Pine, Stinkwood and indigenous specimens are the most common species on Irene jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

When to call us in Irene — emergency tree scenarios
Not sure if it's an emergency? If you've got any of the situations below in Irene, call 078 600 6367 straight away. Answered 24/7, no voicemail.
Tree fallen on roof or structure
Water ingress, electrical hazards and load-bearing damage escalate within hours. Highest priority. We arrive with rigging gear and tarps to make safe before the next squall.
Critical — call nowTree contacting Eskom / City Power lines
Life-threatening. Do not approach the tree, the soil or any metal fence touching it. Call Eskom 0860 037 566 AND 078 600 6367 simultaneously — our crew is trained in power-line proximity protocols.
Critical — call Eskom + usStorm damage — broken branches & split trees
Gauteng's October–March thunderstorm season. Lightning-split trunks, hanging limbs over walkways, multi-stem failures after high winds. Even a 'stable-looking' branch can fall without warning.
High urgencySeverely leaning tree after heavy rain
Saturated Highveld clay loses anchor capacity fast. A tree that's visibly leaning more than yesterday is in imminent collapse — assess and remove urgently.
High urgency — same dayTree fallen on a vehicle
We cut and remove section-by-section to minimise additional bodywork damage. Photograph everything first; our invoice supports your motor claim.
High urgencyFallen tree blocking driveway, gate or road
Critical for emergency-vehicle access and home security. Same-day clearance across Kempton Park, East Rand, Johannesburg, Pretoria and the wider Gauteng service area.
Urgent — same dayDead or diseased tree near a structure
Dead trees collapse without warning — especially after rain adds weight to brittle wood. If it's within falling distance of anything that matters, it must come down.

Questions Irene homeowners ask
Will neighbours be affected during the job in Irene?
Some noise from the chipper for 1–3 hours and (rarely) a brief blockage of a shared driveway. We notify adjoining neighbours the day before any major Irene job and finish well within daytime working hours.
Do I need municipal permission to fell a tree in Irene?
Trees on private property in Irene generally don't require a permit, but protected species (e.g. wild olive, yellowwood, certain milkwoods) and street trees do. We help you check before cutting and won't touch a protected tree without paperwork.
Will you remove the stump too?
Yes if booked. Stump grinding is a separate machine and gets quoted alongside the felling. Most clients grind out stumps in lawn areas and leave forest-edge stumps to rot naturally.
Do you work in estates and security complexes in Irene?
Often. We handle the HOA paperwork, gate booking, COID submission and PPE compliance evidence so the body corporate has everything they need — included in the quote, no extra fee.
How much does tree felling cost in Irene?
Pricing in Irene depends on tree size, lean direction, access for our boom truck, and whether power lines are involved. A medium garden tree typically starts around R850–R2,500, while large bluegums or palms over R5,000. We quote each Irene job on site — never sight-unseen — and the quote is free.
Do I call insurance first or you?
Call us first — making the site safe stops the claim from getting bigger. We supply documentation for the claim. (Applies in Irene and across our wider Pretoria & North service area.)
What does an after-hours callout cost?
Standard callout R1,800; after-hours adds 35–60% depending on time. Full quote confirmed before any work starts. (Applies in Irene and across our wider Pretoria & North service area.)
Can you tarp my roof?
Yes, emergency tarping while you wait for the roofer. (Applies in Irene and across our wider Pretoria & North service area.)
