Felling & removal in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Steep gardens on the Berea, in Westville and Kloof often mean trees come down in sections with rigging, and logs are carried up by hand to the road. In Umhlanga and Ballito estates, palm removal is a regular job, with cherry pickers used where palms lean over pools. Fellers around Richards Bay and Port Shepstone clear storm-felled trees from roads and stands after summer downpours.
KwaZulu-Natal: trees, weather and gardens
Everything grows fast on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. Warm, humid summers and heavy rain push palms, flat-crown albizias, coral trees, ficus and bamboo to full size quickly, and roots lift paving and crack drains. Durban, Umhlanga and Ballito gardens are full of tall palms that need fronds and seed heads cleared or the whole palm taken down. Inland, the Midlands around Pietermaritzburg and Howick carry pine, gum and wattle plantations, and wattle spreads into farms and riverbanks. Summer storms and the odd coastal gale bring down trees on roofs and roads. Coastal milkwoods are protected, and syringa, wattle and many garden exotics may be listed invaders, so check before cutting either kind.

- Estates, complexes and body corporates: rows of palms along estate roads trimmed each year and dead palms removed
