Tree Pruning & Trimming in Cape Town
Proper pruning keeps trees healthy, safe, and great-looking. We remove problem growth and shape the canopy so light, airflow and clearance are improved—while protecting the long-term structure of your trees.

- Clearance pruning – trim away from roofs, gutters, driveways and paths (and lines where permitted).

- Hedges & palms – neat seasonal shaping and palm cleaning.
- Tidy finish – we chip, remove and recycle green waste.
