Equipment & supplies in Newcastle: local notes
Hire shops and farm suppliers in the Newcastle industrial area stock chainsaws, chains, files and protective gear, and some hire out chippers and stump grinders. Farmers in the Dannhauser and Utrecht districts often keep their own saws. Seasoned gum is very hard, so expect to sharpen chains more often. A truck-mounted cherry picker may need to come from a larger centre, so book it early for tall trees in town.
Newcastle: trees, weather and gardens
Newcastle lies in the north-west corner of KwaZulu-Natal, high enough for frosty winters and violent summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail. Gardens and streets carry jacarandas, bluegums, pines, poplars and willows, and the surrounding farmland has long rows of gum windbreaks and wattle along streams. Dry winters stress trees, and dead or dying gums are a regular reason to call a feller. Industry around the steelworks and the town's factories needs yards and fence lines kept clear, while farmers towards Utrecht and Dannhauser ask for windbreaks and bush to be cleared. Check the alien listing before replanting gums or poplars, and leave pavement trees to the municipality.
Typical chainsaw safety gear requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a helmet set and chaps for cutting up fallen branches and braai wood
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: protective gear for farm workers cutting gums, wattle and firewood
- Businesses and commercial property: safety kit for grounds staff to meet workplace safety duties
