Need tree felling in Paulshof Sandton? Fourways Tree Felling is the team Paulshof residents and businesses call when they need a tree removed, pruned or stump-ground. Paulshof is one of those Sandton suburbs that sits between two worlds โ older residential stands with big gardens on one side, and the Sunninghill and Bryanston office park corridor on the other. We work across all of it. Call +27 82 367 6299 and get a same-day quote.
What Makes Paulshof Unique for Tree Felling
Paulshof was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, which means the trees here are old. Really old. Gardens that were planted with fast-growing gum trees and wattles back then now have massive specimens that are well past their safe lifespan. When trees get this old they become unpredictable โ dead inside, hollow at the base, or the roots have worked their way under paving, pool walls, and even foundations.
The suburb is also close to the N1 highway, which means properties often take in a lot of wind. Trees on properties along Bowling Avenue, Van Eck Road, and the quieter roads near Paulshof Extension get hit hard when Joburg’s summer storms blow in from the north-west. We’ve removed trees in Paulshof that had been leaning dangerously for years โ the owners just never noticed until a bad storm made things urgent.
There’s also the commercial side. The office parks and business areas near Sunninghill, Paulshof Business Park, and the Witkoppen corridor sometimes need tree clearing for renovation, new construction, or just because a big tree is damaging parking area paving. We handle commercial jobs just as comfortably as residential ones.
Tree Felling Services We Offer in Paulshof
Residential Tree Removal
This is the bulk of what we do in Paulshof โ removing trees from gardens, stands and complex properties. Paulshof’s large stands mean many homeowners have got multiple trees to deal with. We often do three or four trees in one visit, which keeps the cost down per tree. Call +27 82 367 6299 to discuss a multi-tree rate.
Commercial & Office Park Tree Felling
Trees damage commercial parking lots and paving more than most people realise. Roots lift paving slabs, crack tar, and work their way into drainage systems. We’ve worked in several of the business parks in and around Paulshof and Sunninghill, removing trees that were causing structural damage to parking areas, driveways and access roads.
Emergency Storm Damage Removal
After a bad summer storm hits Paulshof โ and they do hit hard between November and February โ we get a rush of calls from people with fallen trees blocking driveways, damaging roofs, or sitting on garden walls. We move fast on emergency jobs. Call +27 82 367 6299 first thing after a storm and we will give you a time.
Root Damage Prevention โ Proactive Removal
Some of the smartest calls we get in Paulshof are from homeowners who see root damage starting โ cracks in pool paving, a lifting driveway section, a slightly bowing garden wall โ and they call us before the tree causes R50,000 worth of structural damage. We can advise whether removal is the right option or whether root barriers can help.
Stump Grinding
Paulshof’s older gardens often have old stumps left from trees removed years ago. They rot, they harbour pests, and they make re-landscaping impossible. We grind stumps below ground level so the area can be levelled, replanted or paved over.
Tree Pruning & Shape Maintenance
Not every tree is a problem โ some just need shaping. We do canopy thinning, crown reduction, dead-wooding and directional pruning for trees that are healthy but getting too big for their space. This is popular in Paulshof where homeowners want to keep their trees but reduce the wind resistance during storm season.

The Tree Types We Remove Most in Paulshof
Paulshof’s tree population reflects its age as a suburb. These are the species we deal with most:
- Blue gum (Eucalyptus) โ planted everywhere in the 70s and 80s, now massive and often dying at the top.
- Australian wattle (Acacia mearnsii) โ invasive, grows fast, dies fast, and falls without much warning.
- White stinkwood โ beautiful trees but they can develop dead sections that make them dangerous.
- Cape ash โ common in older Joburg gardens, heavy and unpredictable when they drop branches.
- Mulberry trees โ popular with older homeowners, but they grow enormous and drop staining fruit everywhere.
- Jacaranda โ loved for the purple flowers but the roots are relentless against older paving and walls.

Frequently Asked Questions โ Tree Felling Paulshof
Do you remove multiple trees in one trip?
Yes, and this is actually more cost-effective for you. If you have several trees to come down, we bring the right equipment and crew for the whole job in one day. Call us to discuss.
Can you help if the tree is on a boundary line?
Boundary trees are always a bit sensitive. The general rule is that both neighbours share ownership of a boundary tree. We can advise on the proper process โ usually it involves getting written agreement from both sides before any removal. We’ve handled plenty of these in Paulshof.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t stop us. Heavy storms obviously do โ both for safety reasons and because the wood becomes too heavy and slippery to work with safely. If weather causes us to postpone, we reschedule you as a priority the very next clear day.
Do you do a site visit before quoting?
For bigger jobs โ large trees, tricky access, multiple removals โ yes, we prefer to see it first. For most standard garden trees, a WhatsApp photo is enough to give you an accurate estimate. Call +27 82 367 6299 and we’ll tell you what we need.
