Kimberley notes on equipment & supplies
Hire shops in Kimberley serve a wide region, so book chippers and stump grinders a few days ahead.

Trees in Kimberley
Kimberley lies in hot, dry country, and the trees here have to be tough. Pepper trees, planted widely in older suburbs and on mine land, grow wide and heavy and drop limbs. Camel thorn, which is protected, grows on the open veld around the city and in some older yards. Gardens also carry gums, cypresses, karee and palms. Summers are very hot with short, violent thunderstorms, and winters are cold and frosty. Drought often leaves trees weak, and old pepper trees split or lean over walls. Homeowners, schools, churches and old mine properties ask for removal of dead trees and pruning of pepper trees. Check whether a camel thorn is protected before removing it.
Typical cherry picker hire requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: taking a big tree over the roof down in sections from a platform
- Schools, churches and municipalities: municipal teams pruning street and park trees above roads and paths
- Businesses and commercial property: pruning trees beside office blocks, signage and parking lot lights
