Stellenbosch notes on felling & removal
Removals in Stellenbosch often involve dead or declining oaks in Mostertsdrift, Die Boord and Uniepark gardens, taken down in sections over roofs and walls. On farms in the Jonkershoek and Banhoek valleys, gum windbreaks and old pines are felled whole where space allows. Wood from borer-hit trees should not be moved around carelessly, so ask the team how they will dispose of it. Oak stumps are big; ask about grinding.
What grows around Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is known for its oak-lined streets, and many of those oaks are now old and in decline. Dorp Street, the university area and the older town below Papegaaiberg carry big oaks and planes, while wine farms in the Jonkershoek and Banhoek valleys add stone pines, gum windbreaks and avenues. The polyphagous shot hole borer has been found in trees in the Western Cape, and dying oaks and other host trees are a concern for owners. Hot dry summers bring fire risk on the mountain edges. Requests come from homes, estates, the university, farms and businesses at Technopark. Heritage rules apply in the old town, so check before cutting.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Homeowners: a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: rows of gum stumps ground on open ground with a towable grinder
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: stumps in common areas ground flush and the chips used on estate beds

Stump Grinding usually suits garden, estate and farm tree stumps, done like this: ground 15 to 30 cm below the surface. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it. On the weather side: hot dry summers with fire risk; winter rain and storms drop old oak limbs.
