Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Felling Constantia

Do Constantia properties require tree removal permits?
Constantia sits within multiple heritage and environmental overlay zones — the Constantia Valley Heritage Overlay and the Cape Floral Region Protection Area both apply to portions of Constantia. Heritage trees (many pines and oaks on former wine farm properties are individually listed) require COCT permit approval before any removal. We handle all permit applications, including the full arborist motivation, site plan, and photographic documentation required. Our SAIF-registered arborist’s reports are accepted by the City of Cape Town Heritage Management department.
What is the most common tree problem in Constantia?
Camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) is the most common problem tree we encounter in Constantia — it is a NEMBA Category 3 invasive which must be controlled when sold. Many Constantia properties have large, mature camphor laurels that are structurally sound but legally problematic to retain for property sales. Blue gum failures on the steep slopes of the Constantiaberg foothills are also a significant emergency risk. Root intrusion from large pines and figs into sewer lines is the third most common issue we attend.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Constantia?
Our base is in Durbanville and we cover Constantia 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.
