Do you clear alien invasives near the Tygerberg Nature Reserve?
Yes — NEMBA-compliant alien invasive clearing is a core service for Tygerberg properties. Port Jackson (Cat 1b), rooikrans, and blue gum spread aggressively from the reserve boundary onto adjacent private land and must be cleared by law. We provide thorough clearing with stump treatment and a post-clearing site inspection. Free assessment available.
Are silver trees and proteas in Tygerberg protected?
Yes. Silver tree (Leucadendron argenteum) and certain protea species are protected indigenous plants. They cannot be removed without appropriate permits. We identify protected species during our pre-quote assessment and advise on permit requirements. In most cases, preservation is recommended over removal.
What is the fire risk for trees near the Tygerberg Nature Reserve?
Properties on the Tygerberg hillside adjacent to the reserve carry elevated fire risk, particularly during the hot dry Cape summer (November–April). Alien invasive species (Port Jackson, rooikrans) are highly flammable and significantly increase risk. We strongly recommend annual invasive clearing and fire break maintenance for these properties. Call 021 813 0456 for a free assessment.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in the Tygerberg area?
The Tygerberg area is approximately 15–20 minutes from our Durbanville base. We provide 24/7 emergency response on 021 813 0456 with typical arrival of 25–35 minutes. Fire-related emergencies and fallen trees on structures are our highest priority.
Do you serve Tygervalley and De Plattekloof within the Tygerberg area?
Yes — we serve all suburbs in the Tygerberg cluster including Tygervalley, De Plattekloof, Plattekloof Glen, and properties bordering the Tygerberg Nature Reserve. We also serve adjacent areas including Bellville, Parow, and the broader Northern Suburbs.
