Potchefstroom notes on felling & removal
Removal of a big oak in Die Bult or near the university is usually sectional, with ropes lowering each limb past roofs, walls and parked cars. In Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park, newer gardens hold gums and conifers that have outgrown their stands. Ask about stump grinding, as oak roots under paving are a common reason for removal.
Trees in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is known for its oak-lined avenues, many of them planted long ago and now huge. Around the university, the older suburbs and along the Mooi River, oaks, plane trees and willows give the town its shade. Old trees come with old problems: heavy limbs, rot in the trunk, roots lifting paving and acorn and leaf drop on roofs. The Mooi River banks also carry invaders that need control. Summers bring thunderstorms, and winters are cold with frost. Residents, students' landlords, churches and schools ask for pruning, deadwooding and safety checks more than outright removal. Street oaks belong to the municipality, and heritage areas may have their own rules, so ask before cutting.
The requests we see from Potchefstroom usually come from:
- Homeowners: a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it
- Schools, churches and municipalities: stumps in parks and school grounds ground so they are not a trip hazard
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: stumps in common areas ground flush and the chips used on estate beds
