What to know locally in Cape Town
Industrial areas in Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Epping and Ottery have tool hire shops and garden equipment dealers with chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders and pole saws. Truck-mounted cherry pickers are booked through plant hire yards. A strong south-easter can make high work unsafe, so watch the forecast. In the narrow streets of Woodstock and Observatory, check whether a chipper and truck can park before booking.
Cape Town: trees, weather and gardens
Cape Town's tree work follows its winds. Winter north-westers bring rain and gusts that topple shallow-rooted pines and gums on saturated ground, while the summer south-easter dries gardens and snaps brittle limbs. The southern suburbs hold old oaks, stone pines, camphors and planes, many planted generations ago and now huge over homes in Claremont, Rondebosch and Newlands. Port Jackson, rooikrans and pines invade the Cape Flats and mountain slopes, and clearing them reduces fire risk near homes in the dry season. Requests come from homes, estates, businesses in Century City and Montague Gardens, and developers. Heritage areas and street trees have their own rules, so check before cutting.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Homeowners: lifting branches off the gutter, driveway and pool fence without a ladder
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping branches clear of estate roads, walkways and street lights
- Businesses and commercial property: trimming low branches over parking bays and walkways on office grounds
