What to know locally in Welkom
Tall gums and pines in Doorn, St Helena and Riebeeckstad often stand close to houses, so they come down in sections. On old mine land between Welkom and Odendaalsrus, there is often room for whole-tree felling. Ask about stump grinding, since gum stumps resprout. Logs from big gums are heavy, so confirm whether they stay or go.
Welkom: trees, weather and gardens
Welkom was planned as a garden city for the goldfields, and its wide streets and traffic circles were planted with trees that are now mature: gums, pines, cypresses, pepper trees, Chinese elms and planes. Old mine land and mine villages around town often hold long rows of tall gums. Mine dumps and tailings ponds bring dust and poor soil. The climate is dry with hot summers, short heavy storms and frosty winters. Many trees now reach heights that cause trouble, with limbs over roofs, roads and power lines. Homeowners, schools and mining properties ask for felling of tall gums and pines, while estates ask for crown work. Never work near power lines.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners: a tall palm beside the pool removed in sections or trimmed of dead fronds
- Businesses and commercial property: palms at hotels, lodges and shopping centres trimmed to keep seeds off the paving
- Servitudes and fire breaks: palms growing into servitudes removed by authorised teams once lines are safe
