Tree Planting Pecanwood
Plant the right species in Pecanwood 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 Pecanwood with proper root-pruning first.
Tree Planting & Transplanting in Pecanwood, done properly
Tree planting in Pecanwood 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.
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 Pecanwood jobs specifically
On Pecanwood jobs specifically we work mostly on Pecanwood Estate — security-controlled golf homes. The trees we see most often are Acacia, Marula, Wild olive, Karee and Jacaranda. Access is estate-controlled, gate booking required. The recurring issue: fairway-edge specimens needing HOA-approved arborist work.
Tree species we work with in Pecanwood
Acacia, Marula, Wild olive, Karee, Jacaranda and indigenous specimens are the most common species on Pecanwood jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

Questions Pecanwood homeowners ask
Can you handle trees near Eskom or City Power lines in Pecanwood?
Yes. Where a tree is touching live lines we coordinate a temporary disconnect at no admin charge to you. Most Pecanwood suburbs we've worked in have predictable line layouts so we can plan the cut in advance.
Will neighbours be affected during the job in Pecanwood?
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 Pecanwood job and finish well within daytime working hours.
How much does tree felling cost in Pecanwood?
Pricing in Pecanwood 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 Pecanwood job on site — never sight-unseen — and the quote is free.
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.
Will you remove the stump too?
Yes if booked. Stump grinding is a separate machine and gets quoted alongside the felling. Most clients grind out stumps in lawn areas and leave forest-edge stumps to rot naturally.
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 Pecanwood and across our wider Pretoria & North 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 Pecanwood and across our wider Pretoria & North service area.)
Survival rate on transplants?
85–95% when we do the full root-prune-first protocol; lower for emergency lifts. (Applies in Pecanwood and across our wider Pretoria & North service area.)
