Tree Felling Amalgam
Tree felling in Amalgam is the bread and butter of what Columbus Tree Felling does — sectional dismantling of mature Stinkwood, blue gum, jacaranda and pine on tight Amalgam stands where there's no room for a straight drop. Every Amalgam job starts with a free on-site quote, never a phone-only estimate.
Tree Felling & Removal in Amalgam, done properly
Looking for tree felling in Amalgam? We've removed everything from rotten Stinkwood in Amalgam back gardens to 25-metre boundary-wall blue gums leaning into neighbours' roofs. Fully insured (R5m Public Liability), written quote before any chainsaw runs, all debris chipped and removed.
Tree felling in Gauteng is rarely just 'cut and drop'. Walls, pools, overhead Eskom lines, neighbours' roofs and tight side passages mean almost every job is a rigging job. Columbus Tree Felling uses sectional dismantling — a climber takes the tree down in calculated pieces, lowered on ropes — so nothing damages property.
We've felled everything from rotten plane trees in Parktown to wind-loaded blue gums on Kempton Park boundary walls. Every job gets a written, fixed-price quote after a free site visit — no sight-unseen pricing.
What we see on Amalgam jobs specifically
On Amalgam jobs we typically deal with Plane tree, Jacaranda, Oak and similar species. High-altitude thunderstorms and powerful westerly gusts combined with rocky reef ground and shallow Hutton topsoil — stumps are notoriously hard to grind by hand drives most of what we see — particularly borer-infested plane trees on pavements.
Tree species we work with in Amalgam
Plane tree, Jacaranda, Oak, Pin oak, Stinkwood and Cedar are the most common species on Amalgam jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

Questions Amalgam homeowners ask
Do I need municipal permission to fell a tree in Amalgam?
Trees on private property in Amalgam 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 Amalgam?
Pricing in Amalgam 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 Amalgam 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 Amalgam?
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 Amalgam job and finish well within daytime working hours.
Do you work in estates and security complexes in Amalgam?
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 fell a tree near my pool?
Yes — we rig from the trunk and lower every piece. We've done dozens of poolside removals with no tile damage. (Applies in Amalgam and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
Will Eskom need to be involved?
If the tree is touching live lines, yes — we coordinate the temporary disconnect at no extra admin charge. (Applies in Amalgam and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
How long does it take?
A standard garden tree: 2–4 hours. A large gum near power lines and walls: a full day. We confirm timing in the quote. (Applies in Amalgam and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
