What to know locally in Randburg
Strijdom Park has many hire yards and garden equipment dealers, so chainsaws, chippers and stump grinders are easy to rent by the day. Pole saws suit the light trimming most Randburg gardens need. A small chipper fits through most side gates in Bromhof and Northgate townhouse complexes. Bring your ID for the deposit, and ask whether an operator comes with the stump grinder.
What grows around Randburg
Randburg mixes older suburbs with mature gardens and the rocky koppies of the northern Johannesburg ridges. Linden, Blairgowrie and Ferndale were planted with jacarandas, oaks, pines and bluegums in the middle of the last century, and those trees now crowd small stands and overhead cables. Northcliff Ridge and the koppies around Bromhof carry indigenous bush, including white stinkwood and wild olive, that should be checked before anyone cuts. Thunderstorms roll across the ridges from the west most summer afternoons, and lightning strikes are common on high ground. The usual requests are trimming over roofs and cables, removing dying pines, and grinding stumps in small gardens. Pavement trees here generally belong to the city.
Typical chainsaw safety gear requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a helmet set and chaps for cutting up fallen branches and braai wood
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: kitting out the maintenance team who handle storm clean-up in the complex
- Businesses and commercial property: safety kit for grounds staff to meet workplace safety duties
