Felling & removal in eMalahleni: local notes
Rows of gums on mine and power station land near Kriel and Ogies are usually felled whole where there is open veld, with a drop zone longer than each tree. In Del Judor and Reyno Ridge the same species often stands a few metres from a house, so it comes down in sections. Ask whether the stumps will be ground or treated, because gums coppice hard from the base.
eMalahleni: trees, weather and gardens
Coal built eMalahleni. Long rows of bluegums were planted as windbreaks on mine land, power station buffers and old farm boundaries, and many are now tall, brittle and leaning over roads, fences and conveyor routes. In town, older stands carry big pines, Chinese elms and oversized jacarandas that crowd roofs and gutters. Summer on this part of the Highveld brings hard thunderstorms with hail and lightning, and a split gum after a storm is a common call. Mines, contractors and plant managers ask for whole rows to come down, while homeowners mostly want one tree off the house. Check the alien listing for gums and wattle on your land before you plan the work.
The requests we see from eMalahleni usually come from:
