What to know locally in Gauteng
In Parktown, Houghton and Saxonwold, gums planted a century ago stand metres from old houses, so most come down piece by piece on ropes. Newer stands in Centurion, Midrand and Fourways have less room still, with pools, paving and boundary walls under every crown. After a storm, fellers clear fallen trunks from driveways first and grind the stumps later. Gate width matters: many complex entrances are too narrow for a towable chipper.
What grows around Gauteng
Gauteng is a planted forest on a grassland plateau. Pretoria's jacarandas, the old bluegum rows of Johannesburg and the plane trees and pin oaks of the northern suburbs were put in by people a long time ago, and many now tower over houses, pools and boundary walls. Highveld summer storms bring hail, lightning and sudden gusts that split crowns and drop limbs on roofs and cars, so calls climb between October and March. Homeowners, security estates and body corporates ask most for sectional felling on tight stands, crown lifting off roofs and stump grinding. Street trees usually belong to the municipality, and gums and jacarandas may be listed invaders, so check the listing for your tree before anyone cuts.
