Roodepoort notes on equipment & supplies
Hendrik Potgieter Road and Ontdekkers Road have tool hire shops and garden equipment dealers that rent and sell chainsaws, chippers and pole saws.

Buy a helmet with a face screen, cut-resistant trousers and boots before using a chainsaw.
Trees in Roodepoort
Roodepoort stretches from old mining ground around Florida and Maraisburg to the ridges and estates of Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls. The older side has bluegum rows on mine land and big pines in established gardens; the newer side has estates with small stands, imported garden trees and indigenous bush on the rocky ridges near the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden. Honeydew still has smallholdings with long gum windbreaks. Summer storms gather over the western ridges and hit here early, often with hail. Homeowners ask for trimming and felling in tight gardens, smallholders want gums cleared, and estates book trimming of common areas. Check whether trees on ridge stands are indigenous and protected before cutting.
Typical cherry picker hire requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: taking a big tree over the roof down in sections from a platform
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: crown lifting street trees along estate roads over a few days
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: trimming tall windbreaks and old gums next to sheds and houses
