Tree Felling Edendale
Edendale homeowners call us when a Eucalyptus (bluegum) is too close to the house, when an old tree starts dropping limbs, or when a new development needs the site cleared. Our crew works Edendale on a rotating basis — same-day callouts are normal during storm season.
Tree Felling & Removal in Edendale, done properly
Tree felling in Edendale is the bread and butter of what Columbus Tree Felling does — sectional dismantling of mature Pine, blue gum, jacaranda and pine on tight Edendale stands where there's no room for a straight drop. Every Edendale job starts with a free on-site quote, never a phone-only estimate.
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 Edendale jobs specifically
On Edendale jobs we typically deal with Eucalyptus (bluegum), Jacaranda, Syringa (Persian lilac) and similar species. Highveld summer storms and dry winter frost combined with shallow clay-loam over reef quartzite — common root-plate failure after summer downpours drives most of what we see — particularly sudden hail-driven limb tear-outs.
Tree species we work with in Edendale
Eucalyptus (bluegum), Jacaranda, Syringa (Persian lilac), Pine, Black wattle and Plane tree are the most common species on Edendale jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.
When you should book this service
- Storm-damaged trees with hanging limbs
- Invasive species (blue gum, syringa, black wattle) on your boundary
- Subdivisions or new builds requiring site clearance
- Tree leaning toward house, wall or driveway

Questions Edendale homeowners ask
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.
How much does tree felling cost in Edendale?
Pricing in Edendale 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 Edendale job on site — never sight-unseen — and the quote is free.
Do I need municipal permission to fell a tree in Edendale?
Trees on private property in Edendale 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.
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.
How fast can you get to Edendale for an emergency?
Our standby crew targets a 60-minute response inside Edendale for fallen trees, hanging limbs and storm damage. Call us on 078 600 6367 — answered 24/7.
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 Edendale and across our wider East Rand 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 Edendale and across our wider East Rand 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 Edendale and across our wider East Rand service area.)
