Tree Felling in Table View: Windbreak Blue Gums Reaching Full Height

The blue gums running through Table View were planted as windbreaks for housing that arrived in the 1990s and 2000s. They have outgrown that job — thirty metres of eucalyptus now shedding limbs over the roofs it was planted to shelter. Table View is one of Cape Town’s fastest-growing residential areas — its relatively new housing stock (1990s–2010s) means street and garden trees are entering their most structurally vulnerable growth phase, while the area’s shallow water table and sandy soils create unique root anchorage challenges during the Cape’s winter storm season.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Felling Table View

Do blue gum trees in Table View need to be removed?
Blue gum (Eucalyptus) is a NEMBA Category 2 invasive species — meaning on environmentally sensitive land (near wetlands, vleis, or Flamingo Vlei nature area) it must be actively controlled. On standard residential properties, removal is encouraged but not legally mandated. However, many Table View blue gums planted as windbreaks in the 1980s–1990s are now 20–35 years old with significant internal decay risk. We recommend a professional risk assessment for any blue gum over 12m within 10m of a structure.
What does tree felling cost in Table View?
Tree felling in Table View follows standard Cape Town pricing: R1,500–R3,000 for small trees under 7m, R3,500–R7,500 for medium trees (7–15m), and R8,000–R18,000 for large mature blue gums. Stump grinding starts at R650. All quotes are free and provided on-site. Port Jackson clearing (including Triclopyr stump treatment) starts at R2,200 for 3–5 stems on a residential property.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Table View?
