Tree Planting Glen Austin

Tree Planting & Transplanting in Glen Austin, done properly

Plant the right species in Glen Austin and you'll never have to fell it. We specify trees that handle Gauteng frost and clay — Bottlebrush, white stinkwood, karee, wild pear — and avoid the species we end up removing 15 years later. Established trees up to 3 metres can also be transplanted in Glen Austin with proper root-pruning first.

Plant the right tree in the right place and you'll never have to fell it. We specify trees that suit Gauteng's clay and frost (white stinkwood, karee, indigenous coral, wild pear, lavender tree) and avoid the species we end up removing 15 years later (poplar, willow, eucalypt near walls).

For transplants, we root-prune 8–12 weeks ahead, then lift with a mechanical spade or hand-ball wrap, and replant in a properly prepared hole with deep-root irrigation.
