What grows around Randfontein
Randfontein grew around gold mines, and the mine land still holds long rows of bluegums planted for props and shelter. Those trees are now old, often dying back from the top, and they stand beside roads, rail lines and houses in Randgate, Greenhills and Toekomsrus. Out of town, farms and plots towards Westonaria and Hekpoort have gum woodlots, pines and wattle along streams. Highveld storms bring lightning and hail each summer, and dead gums drop limbs without warning. Requests are mostly felling dead or leaning gums, clearing plots, and trimming garden trees in town. Smallholders and businesses ask as often as homeowners. Check the listing for gums and wattle on your land.

- Homeowners: taking a big tree over the roof down in sections from a platform
