Mpumalanga notes on equipment & supplies
Tool hire shops in Mbombela, Middelburg and Secunda rent chainsaws, towable chippers and stump grinders by the day, and some offer an operator. On escarpment slopes near Long Tom Pass, a lighter saw with a sharp chain is easier and safer to handle. Garden equipment dealers in White River and eMalahleni sell pole saws, spare chains and protective chaps for orchard and plantation work.
What grows around Mpumalanga
Two very different landscapes share this province. On the escarpment around Sabie, Graskop and Lydenburg, pine and eucalyptus plantations cover the hills, and their fringes creep into towns, farm roads and smallholdings. Down in the Lowveld, Mbombela, White River and Hazyview sit among mango, macadamia, avocado and litchi orchards, with warm, humid summers that make garden trees grow fast. The coal belt towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda get Highveld hail and hard winter frost. Work ranges from felling stray gums and pines near homes to orchard clearing, storm clean-ups and stump grinding. Check whether a tree is protected before clearing indigenous bush, and treat plantation edges as someone else's land until you know otherwise.
The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:

- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: grinding stumps left from felled gums and old orchard trees
