Equipment & supplies in East London: local notes
Tool hire shops and garden equipment dealers around Wilsonia, Arcadia and the West Bank carry chainsaws, chippers and stump grinders. Contractors working in Mdantsane and Qonce often hire for a day at a time. Sappy subtropical wood and wet weather mean more chain sharpening and cleaning. On sloping Beacon Bay stands, a compact chipper that can reach the back of a garden saves carrying branches up the slope by hand.
What grows around East London
East London is greener and wetter than much of the Eastern Cape coast, with subtropical bush in its river valleys and lush gardens in Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent. The Nahoon, Buffalo and Gonubie rivers cut deep wooded valleys through the city, and many stands back onto them. Big coral trees, figs, Norfolk Island pines and old gums share gardens with fast exotic growth. Coastal storms and strong winds bring trees down every so often. Requests range from homes and complexes to schools, the harbour area and farms towards Qonce and Bhisho. Some coastal forest trees are protected and much of the valley bush is sensitive, so check before clearing a stand.
Typical chainsaw hire requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a day to cut up a fallen branch or tree after a storm in the garden
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a weekend saw for the maintenance team after a storm in the complex
- Businesses and commercial property: a one-off day to clear storm damage from a parking lot or yard
