Tree planting in Parkmore done with the long view: full soil check, services check (no planting over the sewer line), 2× root-ball width holes, proper staking, mulch ring, and an irrigation schedule. Replacement if it dies in year one, excluding negligence.
Tree Planting & Transplanting in Parkmore, done properly
Plant the right species in Parkmore and you'll never have to fell it. We specify trees that handle Gauteng frost and clay — Jacaranda, 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 Parkmore 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.
What we see on Parkmore jobs specifically
On Parkmore 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 Parkmore
Plane tree, Jacaranda, Oak, Pin oak, Stinkwood and Cedar are the most common species on Parkmore jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

Questions Parkmore homeowners ask
Do I need municipal permission to fell a tree in Parkmore?
Trees on private property in Parkmore 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 Parkmore?
Pricing in Parkmore 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 Parkmore 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 Parkmore?
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 Parkmore job and finish well within daytime working hours.
Do you work in estates and security complexes in Parkmore?
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.
What's the best indigenous tree for Gauteng?
White stinkwood (Celtis africana), karee (Searsia lancea) and wild pear (Dombeya rotundifolia) are top performers — fast, frost-tolerant, sensible roots. (Applies in Parkmore and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
Can my established tree be moved?
Up to ~3 m height yes, with root pruning first. Larger trees can move with a mechanical spade if access allows. (Applies in Parkmore and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
Survival rate on transplants?
85–95% when we do the full root-prune-first protocol; lower for emergency lifts. (Applies in Parkmore and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
