Richards Bay notes on tree care & clean-up
Fast coastal growth means trimming around roofs, gutters and pool areas in Birdswood and Veldenvlei every year or so. Palms need dead fronds cleaned out before the windy months. Alien clearing is a big part of the work, with syringa, lantana and young gum seedlings spreading along verges and around the Mhlathuze River. Chipped garden refuse makes useful mulch on sandy soils, so ask whether the chips can stay on the property.
Richards Bay: trees, weather and gardens
Richards Bay sits in the middle of Zululand's timber and sugar country, with eucalyptus plantations stretching inland towards Empangeni and Felixton and cane fields between them. In town, coastal bush, milkwoods, flat-crowns, palms and fast-growing exotic garden trees crowd stands in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood. Hot, humid summers keep everything growing, and strong coastal winds sometimes push over shallow-rooted trees on sandy soil. Industrial sites near the harbour want fence lines, verges and yards kept clear, while smallholders and farmers ask for gum and bush clearing. Milkwoods and some other coastal trees are protected, and dune forest is sensitive ground, so check before clearing anything near the coast.
Typical firewood requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: braai wood and fireplace logs delivered and stacked before the winter cold
- Businesses and commercial property: regular braai wood for restaurants, lodges, guest houses and caterers
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: selling wood from cleared gums and wattle, or buying split wood for the house
