Felling & removal in Paarl: local notes
Felling in Paarl often means old gums and pines on farms towards Groot Drakenstein and Simondium, dropped whole where there is space and cut up for firewood. In town, in gardens below Paarl Mountain and off Main Street, big oaks and pines are taken down in sections. Ask whether the felled wood stays on the farm or is removed, and whether the stumps of resprouting gums will be treated.
Trees in Paarl
Paarl stretches along the Berg River below Paarl Rock, with a long main street lined in places by old oaks. Wine and fruit farms surround the town towards Wellington, Simondium and Groot Drakenstein, each with oak avenues, gum windbreaks and stone pines around old homesteads. Summers are hot and dry with the south-easter, and winters bring rain and north-west storms. Farmers ask for windbreaks and invasive trees along the river to be cleared, while homeowners want big oaks and pines brought under control. Many of the oaks are ageing and prone to dropping limbs. Heritage areas in parts of town may have their own rules, so ask before cutting a historic tree.
Typical emergency tree removal requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: wind-thrown gums cleared from fences, roads and sheds after a storm
- Homeowners: a storm-felled tree lifted off the roof and the garden cleared for the insurance claim
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: fallen trees cleared from estate roads and shared gardens after a storm
