Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Felling Bergvliet

Do Tokai Forest-edge properties in Bergvliet have special tree rules?
Properties adjacent to the Tokai Forest fall within the SANBI-managed Tokai Park management zone. Large pines on properties immediately adjacent to the forest boundary may be subject to DAFF (now DFFE) permit requirements — particularly if the trees are of commercial forestry species (Pinus pinaster, P. radiata). We assess permit requirements at quotation stage. Most privately-owned pines in Bergvliet residential gardens (not on the forest boundary) can be removed with standard COCT notification.
Are camphor laurel trees in Bergvliet an issue?
Camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) is a NEMBA Category 3 invasive — it may not be sold as a plant, but existing trees can remain on private property. However, when Bergvliet properties are sold, camphor laurel must be declared and may require removal under conveyancing environmental disclosure requirements. We remove camphor laurel trees and treat stumps with Triclopyr to prevent resprouting. Their wood chips well and makes excellent mulch.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Bergvliet?
Our base is in Durbanville and we cover Bergvliet with a typical emergency response time of 30–45 minutes from your call. We are available 24/7 on 021 813 0456. During major Cape winter storms (June–September), we triage by risk — life safety and roof-contact situations are attended first.
