Durban notes on equipment & supplies
Hire shops along the industrial roads in Springfield and Jacobs carry chainsaws, towable chippers and walk-behind stump grinders, while larger cherry pickers are booked through plant hire yards around Prospecton and Mobeni. Wet, sappy subtropical wood dulls chains fast, so take a spare chain and a file. Chippers clog on long, stringy palm fronds; cut them shorter first. Wear proper chainsaw trousers and a helmet with a face screen, even in the humidity.
Durban: trees, weather and gardens
Durban gardens grow fast and never really stop. Heat, humidity and summer rain push flat-crown albizias, strangler figs, umbrella trees and palms well past roof height within a few seasons, and their roots lift paving, crack walls and find their way into old drains. On the Berea and in Durban North, mature gardens on steep or tight stands mean much of the work is sectional, with branches lowered on ropes over roofs, pools and boundary walls. Palms need regular cleaning of dead fronds and seed heads. Homeowners, complexes and body corporates ask most, followed by businesses and schools. Check whether a tree is protected or on the alien list before cutting, and leave pavement trees to the municipality.
The requests we see from Durban usually come from:
- Homeowners: cutting up fallen branches, pruning small trees and sawing braai wood in the garden
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a maintenance team saw for storm clean-up and trimming along roads and common areas
- Businesses and commercial property: a grounds team keeping parking lot trees and boundary planting under control
