For tall riverside trees in Three Rivers, a cherry picker with an operator is often safer than climbing, provided the bank is firm.
Trees in Vereeniging
Vereeniging sits where the Klip and Suikerbosrand rivers meet the Vaal, and its best known trees grow along that water. Three Rivers, Arcon Park and Peacehaven have big riverside gardens with willows, bluegums, poplars and old pecan and plane trees. Further from the river, Duncanville and the town suburbs have jacarandas and pines on smaller stands, while Walkerville and Henley on Klip are smallholdings with gum windbreaks and wattle along streams. Summer storms and lightning hit hard, and floods undercut banks. Homeowners, plot owners and businesses ask for felling, trimming and clearing. Check the listing for willows and poplars near water.

- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: extra saws for a week of cutting fallen gums and winter firewood
