What to know locally in Secunda
Pines and gums planted when Secunda was laid out are now tall, and after a strong storm the calls come from Trichardt and the older parts of town. On open land towards Kinross and Bethal trees can often be felled whole. Inside a complex, with walls and parked cars below, sectional felling with ropes is safer. Poplars sucker from the roots, so ask about stump and root treatment.
Trees in Secunda
Secunda is a planned town on flat, open grassland, built for the fuel plant and the coal fields around it, and most of its trees were planted at the same time. That means many street and garden trees are now reaching middle age together: pines, cypresses, bluegums, willows near water and rows of poplars. The wind runs across the open Highveld with little to slow it, and summer storms here can be violent, with hail and lightning. Plant contractors and residential complexes ask for whole lines of trees to be assessed and taken down, while homeowners ask for crown work and roots lifted out of paving. Street trees belong to the municipality, so ask first.
Typical land and bush clearing requests in the area come from:
- Businesses and commercial property: vacant land beside premises cleared to cut fire risk and dumping
- Homeowners: an overgrown stand or back yard cleared of scrub, small trees and old rubble
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: vacant stands in an estate cleared to meet the estate's upkeep rules
