Emergency Tree Felling Sandton
When a tree comes down in Sandton — on a roof, vehicle, driveway or boundary wall — minutes matter. Our standby crew targets a 60-minute arrival inside Sandton, day or night. Generator-powered saws, climbing gear and chipper truck on every call.
24/7 Emergency Tree Removal in Sandton, done properly
Emergency tree removal in Sandton 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 Sandton jobs specifically
On Sandton jobs specifically we work mostly on luxury walled homes on 1,500–3,000 m² stands plus high-rise apartments in the CBD. The trees we see most often are Plane tree, Pin oak, Tipuana, Liquidambar and Cedar. Access is good driveways but heavy security — every job needs prior estate/security clearance. The recurring issue: mature tipuanas and liquidambars over swimming pools and entertainment areas.
Tree species we work with in Sandton
Plane tree, Pin oak, Tipuana, Liquidambar, Cedar and Wild olive are the most common species on Sandton jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

When to call us in Sandton — emergency tree scenarios
Not sure if it's an emergency? If you've got any of the situations below in Sandton, 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 Sandton homeowners ask
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.
How fast can you get to Sandton for an emergency?
Our standby crew targets a 60-minute response inside Sandton for fallen trees, hanging limbs and storm damage. Call us on 078 600 6367 — answered 24/7.
Are you insured if something goes wrong?
Yes — R5-million Public Liability plus workers' compensation cover. Ask any contractor for their COID letter before they climb; we hand ours over on request.
Do I need municipal permission to fell a tree in Sandton?
Trees on private property in Sandton 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.
How much does tree felling cost in Sandton?
Pricing in Sandton 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 Sandton 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 Sandton and across our wider Johannesburg 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 Sandton and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
Can you tarp my roof?
Yes, emergency tarping while you wait for the roofer. (Applies in Sandton and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
