Pricing & Costing FAQs
Understanding Our Rates Please note: Every garden and tree is unique. While we provide estimated ranges below, a physical site inspection is almost always required for an accurate, binding quote.
What is the costs for Tree Felling & Removal?
How much does it cost to cut down a tree in Gauteng? The price varies significantly based on size and complexity. As a general guideline:
-
-
Small Trees (under 3m): R850 – R1,500
-
Medium Trees (3m – 6m): R2,000 – R4,500
-
Large / Dangerous Trees: R5,000 – R15,000+
-
Note: Trees located near glass windows, electric fences, or roofs require specialized rigging, which may influence the cost.
Why is my quote higher than I expected?
Tree felling is a high-risk profession requiring insurance, skilled labor, and expensive equipment (chainsaws, ropes, safety gear).
- Risk: Proximity to structures (house, walls, power lines).
- Access: Can we drop branches directly, or must they be lowered by rope?
- Disposal: The cost of fuel and landfill fees to cart away tons of wood.
Is stump removal included in the tree felling price?
Typically, no. Felling (cutting the tree to ground level) and Stump Removal (taking the roots out) are quoted as separate line items.
Garden Maintenance & Landscaping Costs
What are your rates for weekly garden services?
Monthly contracts generally depend on the size of your garden and the frequency of visits.
-
Small Complex Gardens: From R450 – R650 per month.
-
Standard Suburban Homes: From R850 – R1,200 per month.
-
Large Estates / Commercial: Quoted per site assessment.
Do you charge for a "Once-Off" garden cleanup?
Yes. A once-off cleanup is more labor-intensive than regular maintenance. Prices typically start from R1,500 – R2,500 per day for a full team, depending on how overgrown the vegetation is and how many loads of refuse need to be removed.
How much is Rubble Removal?
If you have existing garden waste to remove, we charge per load.
-
Bakkie / Trailer Load: Approx. R650 – R950 per load.
-
4-Ton Truck Load: Approx. R1,800 – R2,500 per load.
Price includes loading labor and municipal dumping fees.
General Payment Questions
Do you charge for quotes?
No. We offer free, no-obligation site assessments in our primary service areas (Sandton, Fourways, Randburg, Midrand, etc.). We need to see the job to give you a fair price.
Does my insurance cover tree felling?
Generally, insurance does not cover preventative maintenance (cutting a tree before it falls).
Do I have to pay a deposit?
For standard garden services, payment is usually monthly in advance or on the day. For large landscaping or tree felling projects over a certain value (e.g., R5,000+), a 50% deposit may be required to secure the booking and cover specialised equipment hire.
