Equipment & supplies in Pretoria: local notes
Silverton and Pretoria West have tool hire shops that rent chainsaws, chipper trailers and stump grinders, and garden equipment dealers along the main roads of Lynnwood and Montana sell pole saws and safety gear. Pretoria East estates often have gate rules for trailers and noise times, so check them before hiring a towable chipper. A trained operator is worth asking for on a stump grinder.
Pretoria: trees, weather and gardens
Pretoria is the Jacaranda City, and the purple avenues of Arcadia, Brooklyn, Muckleneuk and Waterkloof are why. Those jacarandas are now large, heavy trees, often planted on pavements, and their roots lift paving and driveways. Further east, the estates of Faerie Glen, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Woodhill have younger gardens full of fast growing trees that outgrow small stands. The city sits warmer than Johannesburg, with hot summers, violent thunderstorms and lightning, and frost in the low valleys. Body corporates, homeowners and smallholders north of the Magaliesberg ask most for trimming off roofs, removing storm damaged trees and grinding stumps. Jacaranda has an invasive listing in some places, so check the listing for your tree and area.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually 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
- Schools, churches and municipalities: grinding stumps in parks, schools and cemeteries after old trees are felled
Local tips for Pretoria
Common here: trimming and removing large jacarandas and estate trees over roofs and paving. Ask each team or supplier about this: ask the estate or body corporate for its tree rules before booking any felling. Where they work from: tree fellers and hire yards in Pretoria West, Silverton and along the N1 east of the city.
Around Pretoria the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means grinding out an old stump so the lawn, paving or a new bed can go over it. Before you agree to anything: find pipes and cables before you grind. The trees to watch here: old jacarandas, bluegums, syringas, Chinese elms and planted pines.
