A gentleman phoned the GARDENS FOR YOU offices and asked if we could remove seven Washingtonia Robusta palms (fan palms) from his garden, as both him and his wife felt they had far to many trees.
The GARDENS FOR YOU team jumped at the challenge and went to work. The team opened up around the base of the trees, the crane truck arrived and we lifted all seven trees out successfully, took them to our small holding until we find new homes for these trees.
GARDENS FOR YOU is very much in favour of saving healthy trees, so if you live in or around Cape Town and would like to purchase an established tree for your garden – send us an email.
Thank you so much for removing these trees, you guys are fantastic.
We have a friend in the Kirstenhof area that needs one or two palm trees removed.
We have given her your details and highly recommended that she contact you.
