Felling & removal in Durban: local notes
Felling in Durban is mostly done in sections. Big albizias on the Berea, flat crowns spreading over Musgrave and Morningside rooftops, and strangler figs wrapped around walls in Glenwood are lowered piece by piece. Tall palms in Durban North and Umhlanga are taken down from the top. Stump grinding is common because fig and albizia roots spread far; ask whether surface roots near paving will be cut back too, and whether the chips stay on site.
Trees in Durban
Durban gardens grow fast and never really stop. Heat, humidity and summer rain push flat-crown albizias, strangler figs, umbrella trees and palms well past roof height within a few seasons, and their roots lift paving, crack walls and find their way into old drains. On the Berea and in Durban North, mature gardens on steep or tight stands mean much of the work is sectional, with branches lowered on ropes over roofs, pools and boundary walls. Palms need regular cleaning of dead fronds and seed heads. Homeowners, complexes and body corporates ask most, followed by businesses and schools. Check whether a tree is protected or on the alien list before cutting, and leave pavement trees to the municipality.

- Homeowners: a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it
