Felling & removal in Mbombela: local notes
Big figs and flamboyants in Sonheuwel and West Acres often stand close to houses on sloping stands, so most removals are sectional with rigging. Palms in Riverside Park and Steiltes are taken down from the top, and the fronds and seeds need clearing. On plots towards Karino and Rocky Drift, check whether indigenous trees such as marula are protected before any bush clearing starts.
Mbombela: trees, weather and gardens
Mbombela sits in the warm Lowveld, and things grow fast here. Gardens fill with flamboyants, African tulip trees, jacarandas, palms, figs and strelitzias, and a tree that was pruned two years ago can be back over the roof. Around town, mango, avocado, litchi and macadamia orchards cover the hills, and bush on the granite koppies holds indigenous trees such as marula, which is protected. Humid summers bring heavy rain and storms that drop limbs on roofs and lines. Homeowners and estates ask for regular crown work and palm cleaning, farmers ask for orchard thinning and old tree removal, and developers clear bush on new stands. Check whether a tree is protected before you cut.

The requests we see from Mbombela usually come from:
- Homeowners: a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: stumps in common areas ground flush and the chips used on estate beds
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: rows of gum stumps ground on open ground with a towable grinder
