Midrand notes on felling & removal
Kyalami and Glen Austin plots often have bluegum windbreaks 25 m tall standing between stables, houses and the road. Where there is space, gums can be felled whole into a paddock; next to buildings they come down in sections. On Waterfall and Carlswald development stands, land clearing with stump removal is usually done before earthworks, so ask whether roots and stumps are dug out or ground.
What grows around Midrand
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria on land that was farms and smallholdings not long ago, and the trees still show it. Windbreaks of bluegums, rows of pines and old poplars along the Jukskei and its tributaries stand beside new office parks and estates. Waterfall and Carlswald are being built up fast, so developers ask for stands to be cleared, while the horse farms and plots of Kyalami and Glen Austin need gums felled away from stables and paddocks. Summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail are fierce on this open high ground, and wind takes out shallow rooted trees on newly cleared land. Check whether any indigenous tree on a development site is protected before it is removed.
The requests we see from Midrand usually come from:
- Developers and building sites: trees blown over on a site cleared before work and safety are affected
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: fallen trees cleared from estate roads and shared gardens after a storm
- Homeowners: a storm-felled tree lifted off the roof and the garden cleared for the insurance claim

Tree work, hire and supplies in Midrand mostly come from here: tree fellers on Kyalami and Glen Austin plots; hire yards along the Old Pretoria Road. The requests that come up most: clearing gum and pine windbreaks on plots and development stands.

Emergency Tree Removal usually suits storm, lightning and wind-damaged trees, done like this: made safe first, then cleared and removed. For developers and building sites, the biggest group here, that usually means trees blown over on a site cleared before work and safety are affected. On the weather side: exposed high ground; storms and lightning hit tall gums, wind topples edge trees.
