Tokai sits right up against Tokai Forest, a well-known pine plantation and hiking and mountain-biking spot, and borders the Constantia wine lands too. Properties here tend to be larger than closer to the city, with more forest-adjacent and estate-style gardens than the tighter suburbs further north.
Forest-edge properties often deal with larger stands of trees and occasional plantation-adjacent bush clearance, alongside the standard felling, trimming and stump work we do across the rest of the Southern Suburbs. Pine plantation proximity also means some properties deal with self-seeded pines establishing themselves in gardens, which need managing differently to planted, ornamental trees.
Given Tokai’s larger average plot size, we often handle bigger jobs here than in denser suburbs, multiple trees in one visit, or combined felling and bush clearance work.
We assess every Tokai property individually given how much variation there is between a tight garden and a forest-edge plot, always starting with a free, no-obligation visit.
