Contractors working around the plant and Embalenhle often hire wood chippers and cherry pickers by the day, and many hire shops want a trained operator on board.

Trees in Secunda
Secunda is a planned town on flat, open grassland, built for the fuel plant and the coal fields around it, and most of its trees were planted at the same time. That means many street and garden trees are now reaching middle age together: pines, cypresses, bluegums, willows near water and rows of poplars. The wind runs across the open Highveld with little to slow it, and summer storms here can be violent, with hail and lightning. Plant contractors and residential complexes ask for whole lines of trees to be assessed and taken down, while homeowners ask for crown work and roots lifted out of paving. Street trees belong to the municipality, so ask first.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Businesses and commercial property: a grounds team keeping parking lot trees and boundary planting under control
- 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
