Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Felling Kenilworth

Are Kenilworth’s large street plane trees protected?
Many of Kenilworth’s large London plane (Platanus × acerifolia) street trees are listed on the COCT Significant Trees Register. Street trees are owned and managed by the City of Cape Town — private residents cannot remove street trees without COCT approval, but can report hazardous street trees to the City. For trees on private property in Kenilworth, we assess permit status at quotation stage. Significant plane trees on private property over 5m trunk circumference are likely to require notification.
Do you prune large trees in Kenilworth?
Yes — crown reduction, deadwooding, and crown lifting are our most common services in upper Kenilworth, where properties have large established oaks and planes that have grown beyond their intended size. All pruning is performed to SAIF A300 standard (equivalent to ISA ANSI A300 in South Africa) — no topping, no flush cuts, proper collar retention. We use Husqvarna 550 XP Mark II climbing saws and Petzl ZIGZAG rope systems for all elevated pruning work.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Kenilworth?
Our base is in Durbanville and we cover Kenilworth with a typical emergency response time of 25–35 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.
