Tree Planting & Transplanting in Strubensvalley, done properly
Plant the right species in Strubensvalley and you'll never have to fell it. We specify trees that handle Gauteng frost and clay — Cedar, 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 Strubensvalley 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.

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 mature oaks dropping limbs over pools.

Questions Strubensvalley homeowners ask
Do I need municipal permission to fell a tree in Strubensvalley?
Trees on private property in Strubensvalley 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.
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.
Do you work in estates and security complexes in Strubensvalley?
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.
How much does tree felling cost in Strubensvalley?
Pricing in Strubensvalley 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 Strubensvalley job on site — never sight-unseen — and the quote is free.
How fast can you get to Strubensvalley for an emergency?
Our standby crew targets a 60-minute response inside Strubensvalley 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 Strubensvalley 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 Strubensvalley 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 Strubensvalley and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
