Alberton: trees, weather and gardens
Alberton sits below the Klipriviersberg, and the ridge shapes its tree work. Meyersdal's eco estates lie on rocky slopes with indigenous bush, wild olives and white stinkwoods that should be checked before any cutting. New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Brackendowns have established gardens with jacarandas, pines and bluegums planted decades ago. Alrode is industrial, with boundary trees along fences. Along the Natalspruit and open ground near Thokoza, wattle and syringa spread. Summer thunderstorms with hail and lightning are common, and frost settles in winter. Homeowners ask for trimming and felling, estates book common area work, and businesses want boundary trees cut back. Estate rules often apply.
Typical stump grinder hire requests in the area come from:

- Estates, complexes and body corporates: clearing several stumps along roads and common areas in a day or two
