Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Felling Newlands

Are indigenous trees in Newlands protected?
Yes — indigenous tree species including Yellowwood (Podocarpus latifolius), Stinkwood (Ocotea bullata), Real Yellowwood (Podocarpus falcatus), and several fynbos species present in Newlands are protected under the National Forests Act (Act 84 of 1998). Removal of any listed indigenous tree requires a Department of Forestry permit, regardless of whether the tree is on private property. We provide SAIF-registered arborist assessments for permit applications and can advise on whether a specific tree is protected before any work proceeds.
How do you handle tree work near Kirstenbosch boundary properties?
Properties adjacent to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden fall under SANBI environmental management guidelines. Large trees near the garden boundary require careful assessment for root system impact on the garden’s water table and for potential habitat value. We provide full ecological sensitivity assessments for boundary properties and have experience working with SANBI protocols. All work near the Kirstenbosch boundary uses hand tools and rigging rather than machinery where possible to avoid soil compaction.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Newlands?
Our base is in Durbanville and we cover Newlands with a typical emergency response time of 25–40 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.
