Felling & removal in Roodepoort: local notes
Florida and Maraisburg have old bluegum rows on former mine land, some with stands of dead trees that need careful felling. Honeydew smallholdings have gum windbreaks that can often be felled whole into an open field. In Weltevredenpark and Constantia Kloof, gardens are smaller and many trees overhang walls and roofs, so sectional work is common there.
What grows around Roodepoort
Roodepoort stretches from old mining ground around Florida and Maraisburg to the ridges and estates of Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls. The older side has bluegum rows on mine land and big pines in established gardens; the newer side has estates with small stands, imported garden trees and indigenous bush on the rocky ridges near the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden. Honeydew still has smallholdings with long gum windbreaks. Summer storms gather over the western ridges and hit here early, often with hail. Homeowners ask for trimming and felling in tight gardens, smallholders want gums cleared, and estates book trimming of common areas. Check whether trees on ridge stands are indigenous and protected before cutting.
Typical stump grinding requests in the area 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
