Expert Tree Trimming Services in Mulbarton
Mulbarton is one of Johannesburg South’s most established residential suburbs. Developed from the 1960s onward, the area sits along the northern edge of the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, giving it a green, semi-rural feel despite being well within the city. Generous garden stands hold mature oaks, jacarandas, wild olives, and white stinkwoods that were planted decades ago. Streets are wide, tree-lined, and shaded, and the overall canopy gives Mulbarton a quiet, settled character.
That maturity comes at a cost. Trees planted forty or fifty years ago are now large enough to dominate entire properties. Heavy limbs extend over roofs, swimming pools, and outbuildings. Root systems push into paving, retaining walls, and stormwater drains. Canopies that once provided pleasant shade now block all natural light from lawns and living areas. During the summer storm season, untrimmed trees become genuine hazards as weakened branches snap under wind and hail.
Big Boss Tree Felling provides thorough tree trimming across Mulbarton. Crown reduction for oversized trees, canopy thinning to bring light back into gardens, deadwood removal to reduce storm risk, and clearance trimming away from rooftops, walls, and power lines. Every job finishes with a complete clean-up.

Q. How much does tree trimming cost in Mulbarton?
Tree trimming in Mulbarton starts from around R800 for small to medium trees with straightforward access. Larger trees or those close to rooflines, boundary walls, and power lines typically cost between R2,500 and R7,000 depending on height, canopy spread, and equipment needed. Properties with several mature trees can be quoted as a package. Big Boss Tree Felling provides free on-site assessments with no obligation.
Q. Does Mulbarton fall under the City of Johannesburg?
Yes. Mulbarton falls within the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. Routine tree trimming on your own residential property does not require a municipal permit. Protected tree species listed under the National Forests Act may need approval from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment before significant pruning or removal. Big Boss Tree Felling can advise on protected species found on your Mulbarton property.
Q. When is the best time to trim trees in Mulbarton?
Gauteng’s dry winter months from May to August are the ideal window for tree trimming in Mulbarton. Dormant trees heal faster after cutting and the dry conditions keep fungal infection risk low. Deadwood removal and safety trimming can happen year-round. Scheduling before October is recommended, as Mulbarton’s mature canopy makes it vulnerable to branch failure during Johannesburg South’s severe summer thunderstorms.
Q. Can you trim trees near the Klipriviersberg ridge?
Yes. Properties along the Klipriviersberg ridge on Mulbarton’s southern edge often have large trees on sloped terrain where standard equipment cannot reach easily. Big Boss Tree Felling uses rope access and climbing techniques to handle trees on elevated or uneven ground. Ridge properties also tend to catch stronger winds during storms, making regular deadwood removal and crown reduction particularly important.
Q. Do you service Mulbarton townhouse complexes?
Yes. Big Boss Tree Felling regularly works in Mulbarton’s townhouse and sectional title complexes. We coordinate with body corporates and managing agents on scheduling, access, and resident notification. Our team manages shared-space tree work carefully, controlling debris, protecting common areas, and keeping noise disruption to a minimum.
