What changes the price

  • Tree height and trunk diameter — bigger trees take more time, gear and crew.
  • Access — a tree in an open yard is cheaper than one behind a wall or in a tight courtyard.
  • Risk — trees over roofs, pools, walls or power lines need roping and sectional removal.
  • Clean-up — chipping and hauling debris away costs more than leaving cut wood on site.
  • Distance — jobs far outside the Midlands may include a travel allowance.

Price questions we get asked

How much does tree felling cost in KZN?

Most residential tree removals in the KZN Midlands fall between R800 and R8 000 depending on size, access and risk. Very large blue gums over a house cost more because they must be taken down in sections.

Are your quotes free?

Yes. We quote free on site anywhere in KZN, with no obligation to book.

Can I get a price over WhatsApp?

Send a photo of the tree with something for scale and your address on WhatsApp, and we will give you a ballpark figure before visiting.

Do prices include removing the wood?

We include a tidy clean-up. Full removal of large timber may add to the price; many clients ask us to cut it into firewood and leave it instead.
