What to know locally in Roodepoort
Florida and Maraisburg have old bluegum rows on former mine land, some with stands of dead trees that need careful felling. Honeydew smallholdings have gum windbreaks that can often be felled whole into an open field. In Weltevredenpark and Constantia Kloof, gardens are smaller and many trees overhang walls and roofs, so sectional work is common there.
What grows around 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 emergency tree removal requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: wind-thrown gums cleared from fences, roads and sheds after a storm
