Palm Cleaning Randburg
Palm tree cleaning in Randburg once or twice a year keeps fronds off your roof, seed pods off your paving, and rats out of the skirts. We strip back to live green, remove flower stalks before they set seed, and (optionally) skirt the trunk for the clean architectural look.
Palm Tree Cleaning & Maintenance in Randburg, done properly
Annual palm maintenance for Randburg estates and homeowners — climbed with proper palm spurs (no hedgetrimmer crushing live fibre), every brown frond removed at the trunk, every seed pod cleared.
Palms need an annual or bi-annual clean — dead fronds become fire risk and habitat for rats, seed pods drop and stain paving, and unmaintained skirts add huge wind load. We strip everything back to live green and shape the crown.
Climbed with spurs (palm-specific, no permanent damage) or accessed by MEWP for tall washingtonias.
What we see on Randburg jobs specifically
On Randburg jobs specifically we work mostly on 1960s–80s middle-income homes on 800–1,200 m² stands across Cresta, Northcliff and Windsor. The trees we see most often are Plane tree, Jacaranda, Pin oak, Pine and Liquidambar. Access is good in established suburbs. The recurring issue: Northcliff ridge trees catching full westerly wind exposure.
Tree species we work with in Randburg
Plane tree, Jacaranda, Pin oak, Pine, Liquidambar and indigenous specimens are the most common species on Randburg jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

Questions Randburg homeowners ask
How much does tree felling cost in Randburg?
Pricing in Randburg 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 Randburg job on site — never sight-unseen — and the quote is free.
Do you give a guarantee on the work?
Yes — clean-up to your satisfaction or we come back, and any planted replacement is guaranteed for 12 months excluding negligence. The quote you sign is the price you pay; no surprise extras.
Will neighbours be affected during the job in Randburg?
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 Randburg job and finish well within daytime working hours.
Do you work in estates and security complexes in Randburg?
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.
Can you handle trees near Eskom or City Power lines in Randburg?
Yes. Where a tree is touching live lines we coordinate a temporary disconnect at no admin charge to you. Most Randburg suburbs we've worked in have predictable line layouts so we can plan the cut in advance.
How often?
Most palms: once a year. Washingtonias and dates with heavy fruiting: twice. (Applies in Randburg and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
Can I prune palms myself?
Avoid spurs without training (the trunk gets damaged), and never use a hedgetrimmer — it crushes live fibre and invites rot. (Applies in Randburg and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
