PALM TREE MAINTENANCE
Maintaining palm trees in South Africa is a critical part of ensuring the longevity and health of these beautiful plants. Regular maintenance helps to remove dead leaves and fronds, as well as any debris that may have accumulated on the tree. It is also important to trim back any branches that are growing too close to power lines or buildings. Palm trees require very little water, so watering them deeply and infrequently is best. During prolonged periods of drought, it may be necessary to give them a deep watering every few weeks. When watering palm trees, always check the soil before adding water, as overwatering can quickly lead to root rot.

TREE FELLING
tree felling has been a problem in south africa for many years. it is estimated that there are now only around 20 million trees left in the country, and that number is falling each year. tree felling is often done illegally, without the proper permits or permissions, and this has led to a decline in the quality of life for many people living in rural areas.
WHY MUST I DO TREE MAINTENANCE?
As a business owner, you are responsible for the upkeep of your property, including any trees on the premises. Failing to do proper tree maintenance can result in a number of problems, including:
-You may be liable if someone is injured by a falling tree or branch
-Trees that are not properly maintained are more likely to succumb to disease or pests, which can spread to other trees on your property
-Dead or dying trees are unsightly and can decrease the value of your property
By ensuring that your trees are properly trimmed and cared for, you can avoid these potential problems and keep your property looking its best
TREE FELLING PRICES:
When it comes to tree felling, there are a few things that will affect the overall price. The first is the size of the tree. Obviously, a larger tree is going to take more time and effort to remove, and therefore will cost more than a smaller one. The second factor is the location of the tree. If it's in a difficult-to-reach spot or if there are obstacles around it that need to be removed first, that will also add to the cost. Finally, the type of tree will also play a role in pricing. Some trees are just easier to remove than others, and that can impact the bottom line.
Starting costs: R850 to R4500 in total
Starting costs per hour: R150 to R300
WHAT TO FIND OUT BEFORE CALLING A TREE FELLING COMPANY?
START BY:
Before you call a tree felling company, it's important to have all the relevant information on hand. Here are four things you should find out before making that call:
1. The exact location of the tree – This will help the company determine the best way to fell the tree and ensure the safety of those nearby.
2. The size of the tree – The larger the tree, the more complex (and potentially dangerous) the job will be. Knowing the size ahead of time will allow the company to better prepare for the task at hand.
3. The condition of the tree – If the tree is diseased or otherwise in poor health, it may be more difficult to fell safely. The company will need to know this in advance so they can plan accordingly.
4. Your budget – Tree felling can be a pricey endeavor, so it’s important to have a realistic budget in mind before calling a company. By having this information upfront, you can avoid any unwanted surprises later on down the line.
FAQ
There are many reasons why a tree may need to be removed. Sometimes, trees become dangerous because they are damaged or diseased. In other cases, they may need to be removed to make way for new construction projects.
Tree felling is the process of cutting down a tree. This is usually done using a chainsaw or another type of saw.
The first step in tree felling is to create a cut on the side of the tree that will face away from the direction you want it to fall. This cut should be about one-third of the way through the tree trunk. Next, a second cut is made on the opposite side of the trunk, just above the first cut. This second cut should be shallow and should not go all the way through the trunk. Finally, a third cut is made in between these two cuts, connecting them at the top. This third cut should go all the way through the trunk, and it will cause the tree to fall in the desired direction.
