Sandton notes on equipment & supplies
Cherry picker hire is common in Sandton because old trees often stand over driveways where climbing is awkward. Hire yards along Malibongwe Drive and in Wynberg near Alexandra rent chippers, grinders and chainsaws, often with an operator. Complexes in Sunninghill may limit noise and work hours, so check before you book. Buy proper cut-resistant gear before using any chainsaw, even a small battery saw.
What grows around Sandton
Sandton's older suburbs were laid out on big stands with big trees: Bryanston, Hurlingham, Sandhurst and Morningside still have oaks, pines, bluegums and plane trees planted on what were once one acre plots. Many of those stands are now being subdivided into clusters and townhouses, so developers and new owners ask for trees to be removed before building starts. Elsewhere, homeowners want heavy limbs lifted off roofs, tennis courts and pools. The Braamfontein Spruit and the Sandspruit carry willows and poplars that fall in summer storms. Highveld lightning and hail are part of every summer here. Check with the municipality before touching pavement trees, and check whether any tree on a stand is protected.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Homeowners: lifting branches off the gutter, driveway and pool fence without a ladder
- Developers and building sites: clearing low branches from site access routes before machines move in
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping branches clear of estate roads, walkways and street lights
