Equipment & supplies in George: local notes
George has tool hire shops and forestry and farm suppliers in its industrial area, with chainsaws, chains, chippers, stump grinders and protective gear. Many plantation contractors around George and Knysna run professional saws, so servicing is easy to find. Wet pine is sappy and gums up the bar, so clean chains often. For tall trees in Denneoord or Wilderness, a cherry picker needs firm ground, which can be scarce after rain.
Trees in George
George sits on a coastal plateau under the Outeniqua Mountains, where the Garden Route's indigenous forest meets large pine plantations. Rain falls in all seasons, so growth is steady and trees get big. Yellowwoods, stinkwoods and other forest trees grow in gardens and kloofs, and real yellowwoods are protected, so a licence is needed before cutting one. Pines, gums and blackwood planted around town spread into fynbos and forest edges, and several are listed invaders. Wildfires have hit the Garden Route before, and strong winds bring trees down. Homes, estates, farms and the timber trade all ask for tree work, and cutting pines back from houses is a common request.
Typical stump grinder hire requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: grinding out an old stump so the lawn, paving or a new bed can go over it
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: clearing several stumps along roads and common areas in a day or two
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: grinding stumps left from felled gums and old orchard trees
