Frequently Asked Questions — Tree Felling Tokai

Can I remove pine trees near the Tokai Plantation boundary?
Pines (Pinus pinaster) adjacent to the Tokai Plantation are NEMBA Category 2 invasives — they must be controlled on environmentally sensitive land. On private residential properties, removal is legally required if they are seeding into the adjacent TMNP. The TMNP management team actively encourages removal of invasive pines on boundary properties. Standard DFFE permit conditions apply for trees on the forest boundary itself. We handle the full removal and chipping process with experience at the Tokai fire interface.
How important is tree risk assessment for Tokai homes near TMNP?
Tokai is in a declared Urban Wildland Interface (UWI) fire risk zone — the 2000 Tokai fire and subsequent TMNP management plan designate the area as high-risk. Annual pre-summer tree risk assessments (October) are strongly recommended for all Tokai properties with trees within 10m of structures. Our SAIF-registered arborist provides written risk assessments (R450, credited against any work) that also satisfy insurance company requirements for properties in the TMNP boundary zone.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Tokai?
Our base is in Durbanville and we cover Tokai 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.
