Frequently asked questions

Answers about tree felling and painting in Kempton Park and the East Rand.

Tree felling basics

What is tree felling?

Tree felling is the process of cutting down and removing a tree that is unwanted, dead, damaged, overgrown or potentially dangerous. Professional tree felling involves assessing the tree, surrounding structures, available space and potential hazards before choosing a suitable removal method. Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting provides tree felling services in Kempton Park and surrounding East Rand areas.

How much does tree felling cost in Kempton Park?

The cost of tree felling in Kempton Park depends on the tree's height, trunk diameter, condition, location, accessibility and proximity to buildings, walls or power lines. Additional services, such as stump grinding and waste removal, may affect the price. Contact Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting for an assessment and quotation based on your specific requirements.

Do you offer tree removal services in Kempton Park?

Yes. Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting offers tree removal services for residential and commercial properties in Kempton Park, subject to site conditions and service availability. We assess the tree and surrounding area to determine the appropriate removal method, taking into account nearby buildings, fences, gardens and access routes.

How do I get a tree felling quotation?

To request a quotation, contact Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting by phone or email. Provide the property location, a description of the tree, its approximate height and condition, and details of nearby buildings, fences or access restrictions. Photographs taken from a safe distance can also help with an initial assessment. A site visit may be required before a final quotation is provided.

Dangerous trees, storms and safety

Can you remove large trees close to houses?

Large trees close to houses may require sectional dismantling, where branches and sections of the trunk are removed individually rather than felling the entire tree in one direction. The appropriate method depends on the tree's condition, available working space and surrounding hazards. Specialist equipment and suitably trained operators may be required for complex removals.

Do you remove dead or dangerous trees?

Yes. Dead, damaged, unstable or potentially hazardous trees should be assessed to determine the level of risk and whether removal is necessary. Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting can assist with tree removal enquiries in Kempton Park and surrounding areas. If a tree threatens a building or public area, arrange a professional assessment as soon as possible.

Do you provide emergency tree felling after storms?

We accept enquiries for storm-damaged tree removal, fallen trees and hazardous branches, subject to availability and the severity of the situation. Storms can leave trees leaning, split or resting on buildings and fences. If a tree has contacted electrical lines, keep clear and contact the electricity provider or emergency services. Do not attempt to remove it yourself.

Do you remove fallen trees from gardens and driveways?

Fallen tree removal can include cutting and clearing tree trunks, branches and other debris from gardens, driveways, access routes and suitable residential or commercial sites. The work required depends on the tree's size, weight, location and whether it is resting on a structure or creating additional hazards.

Is tree felling dangerous?

Tree felling can be hazardous because of falling branches, heavy trunks, unstable trees, chainsaws and nearby buildings or electrical cables. Professional work requires proper planning, appropriate protective equipment, suitable exclusion zones and trained operators. Avoid attempting to fell large, unstable or structurally compromised trees without the necessary expertise and equipment.

Trimming, branches and stumps

Do you offer tree trimming and pruning services?

Tree trimming and pruning help manage overgrown branches, remove deadwood, improve clearance and maintain a tree's structure. Services may include crown thinning, crown reduction, removal of hazardous branches and trimming branches that overhang suitable areas. The correct pruning method depends on the tree species, condition and intended outcome.

Can you remove tree branches hanging over my roof?

Branches that extend over roofs, gutters, garages or other structures may be trimmed or removed where appropriate. The work should be planned carefully to avoid damaging roof tiles, gutters, windows or nearby property. Branches near electricity cables require the electricity provider or an appropriately authorised specialist.

Do you provide stump removal in Kempton Park?

Tree stump removal can help clear space for landscaping, paving, lawn installation or other property improvements. The appropriate method depends on the stump's diameter, root system, soil conditions and location. Contact Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting to discuss stump removal options and confirm availability for your property.

What is the difference between stump removal and stump grinding?

Stump grinding uses specialised machinery to grind a tree stump below ground level, leaving wood chips and ground material that can be cleared or reused where suitable. Complete stump removal generally involves extracting more of the stump and potentially part of its root system. The best option depends on your landscaping plans and the location of underground services.

Waste, permits and timing

Do you remove all the branches and tree waste after felling?

Tree waste removal can be included in a quotation or arranged as an additional service. Depending on the agreed scope, this may include cutting branches into manageable pieces, removing logs, clearing debris and leaving the work area tidy. Confirm whether waste collection and disposal are included before accepting a quotation.

Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Kempton Park?

Some trees in South Africa are protected by national legislation, provincial requirements or municipal rules. Whether permission is needed depends on the tree species, location and applicable regulations. Before cutting down a tree, check with the relevant municipality or environmental authority and obtain any required permits. Do not assume that a tree on private property can always be removed without approval.

How long does it take to fell a tree?

The time required depends on the tree's height, trunk size, condition, accessibility, surrounding structures and removal method. A small tree in an open garden may take considerably less time than a large tree requiring sectional dismantling. The time estimate should be confirmed after assessing the site and any equipment or safety requirements.

Commercial jobs and service areas

Do you offer tree felling for commercial properties?

Tree removal and maintenance may be required at offices, shopping centres, warehouses, industrial premises, schools, residential complexes and other commercial properties. Work is planned according to the site layout, access restrictions and safety requirements. Contact Green & Gold Tree Felling and Painting to discuss your commercial tree service requirements.

Which areas do you serve besides Kempton Park?

Our primary service area is Kempton Park, including Glen Marais, Birchleigh, Norkem Park, Terenure, Aston Manor, Bonaero Park, Pomona and surrounding neighbourhoods. We also accept enquiries for selected areas across the East Rand, including Benoni, Boksburg, Germiston, Edenvale, Alberton, Springs and Brakpan. Availability depends on the project and location.

Can you clear overgrown gardens and vacant plots?

Vegetation clearing can help restore access, improve the appearance of a property and prepare suitable land for landscaping or development. Depending on the site, the work may include removing small trees, shrubs, unwanted vegetation, branches and green waste. Larger clearing projects may require specialised machinery, permits or additional site assessments.

Painting

How do I get a painting quotation?

Call or WhatsApp us, or use the quote form, and tell us the type of property, the surfaces to be painted and your suburb. Photos help. We may need to visit the property before giving a final quotation.

Do you prepare the surfaces before painting?

Yes. Preparation is a key part of a durable finish and can include cleaning, sanding, removing loose paint, repairing minor defects and applying suitable primers.

Can you paint roofs?

Yes. We assess tile, metal, IBR and corrugated roofs, then clean, prepare and coat them with suitable products.

What if my walls have damp?

We aim to identify visible problems before painting. Where persistent damp or structural damage needs specialist investigation, that should be done before decorative painting.

Do you paint commercial and industrial buildings?

Yes. We plan work around access, operating hours and tenants where practical. Specialist industrial coatings are assessed per project.

Do you supply the paint?

We can supply paint and apply it, or do labour-only painting if you have already bought the paint. Tell us which you prefer when you request a quote.
