Pinetown notes on felling & removal

In Kloof and Gillitts many removals are on banks too steep for a truck, so the crew climbs, rigs and lowers each section to a flat spot before cutting it up. Old bluegums above houses on the slopes of Westville are a common call after wet spells. Stump grinding needs a machine that can reach the stump; on steep ground in Hillcrest, ask whether the stump will be ground or cut low and treated instead.

What grows around Pinetown

Pinetown and the Upper Highway sit on hills, and that shapes almost every tree job here. Gardens in Kloof, Westville and Gillitts fall away steeply into valleys, so felled timber often cannot be dropped or dragged and must be lowered on ropes and carried out. Many older properties still have tall bluegums, pines and camphor trees planted decades ago, now leaning over houses on the slope below. Indigenous forest pockets and kloofs run through the area, so some trees on a stand may be protected. Industrial sites in New Germany and Westmead ask for clearing along fences and yards. Mist and heavy summer rain soften the ground, and trees on saturated slopes can lean or come down.
