North West notes on felling & removal
Plots around Hartbeespoort, Schoemansville and Kosmos often have big gums and pines leaning towards the dam or over thatched roofs, so sectional work is common. On maize farms near Lichtenburg and Ventersdorp, fellers drop whole windbreak rows into open fields. In Rustenburg suburbs such as Safari Gardens and Cashan, trees are taken down beside walls and the stumps ground.
What grows around North West
Much of North West is open thorn bushveld and maize land, broken by the Magaliesberg and the river valleys around Hartbeespoort, Brits and the Vaal. Farms often have long bluegum windbreaks and pepper trees round the homestead, while towns such as Potchefstroom and Rustenburg have older streets with mature exotic trees that have outgrown their pavements. Dry winters and hot summers stress trees, and summer storms then bring down weakened limbs. Smallholders and farmers ask for bush thinning, windbreak felling and clearing of stands, while homeowners in the dam and mining towns want trees off roofs and walls. Thorn trees near the Pilanesberg and Madikwe may include protected species, so check whether a tree is protected before you clear.
