Equipment & supplies in Polokwane: local notes
Developers clearing stands near Seshego and Mankweng often hire a towable chipper and a stump grinder together for a few days. Homeowners in Bendor tend to buy a petrol chainsaw of around 40 to 50 cc. In the dry heat, keep fuel shaded and carry water, and wear the full kit: helmet, visor, ear muffs, chaps and boots.
Trees in Polokwane
Polokwane stands on a high, dry plateau, and the bushveld reaches right into town. Marula, which is protected, grows on open land and in older yards, along with acacias, karee and wild seringa. Planted gardens carry jacarandas, pepper trees, bluegums and syringas, and syringa spreads easily into open land and stream banks. Rain comes in summer storms, and winters are dry and mild with little frost. The city is growing fast, so developers often need stands cleared, while homeowners want big trees off roofs and walls. Because marula and some other local trees are protected, check before clearing indigenous bush, and check the alien listing for syringa and gums.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Homeowners: a helmet set and chaps for cutting up fallen branches and braai wood
- Developers and building sites: kit for site teams cutting up trees and brush during clearing
- Businesses and commercial property: safety kit for grounds staff to meet workplace safety duties
Local tips for Polokwane
Common here: clearing stands for building and removing syringas and old gums. Ask each team or supplier about this: ask whether any marula or other protected tree needs a licence before work starts. Where they work from: teams in Polokwane and Seshego, and yards in the industrial area near the N1.
Requests range widely: class 1 for 20 m/s chains and up. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a helmet set and chaps for cutting up fallen branches and braai wood. One local point to raise: marulas, acacias, syringas, bluegums and jacarandas.
