Tree Planting Roodepoort
Tree planting in Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort, done properly
Plant the right species in Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort jobs specifically
On Roodepoort jobs specifically we work mostly on 1960s–90s middle-income homes across Florida, Constantia Kloof, Wilropark and the new Ruimsig cluster developments. The trees we see most often are Plane tree, Pine, Jacaranda, Bluegum and Pin oak. Access is varied — Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls have ridge access issues, central Florida is wide-open. The recurring issue: Roodepoort ridge granite makes stump grinding harder than the East Rand — we hand-excavate around rocky stumps.

Tree species we work with in Roodepoort
Plane tree, Pine, Jacaranda, Bluegum, Pin oak and indigenous specimens are the most common species on Roodepoort jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

Questions Roodepoort homeowners ask
What do you do with the wood?
Hardwood logs can stay for your fireplace, or we haul them away. Branches go through the chipper — chips are yours for mulch, or we take them. Nothing goes to landfill; green waste is composted.
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.
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.
Can you handle trees near Eskom or City Power lines in Roodepoort?
Yes. Where a tree is touching live lines we coordinate a temporary disconnect at no admin charge to you. Most Roodepoort suburbs we've worked in have predictable line layouts so we can plan the cut in advance.
How fast can you get to Roodepoort for an emergency?
Our standby crew targets a 60-minute response inside Roodepoort for fallen trees, hanging limbs and storm damage. Call us on 078 600 6367 — answered 24/7.
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 Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
