Felling & removal in Upington: local notes
Tall date palms near the Orange River and on Die Eiland are taken down from the top, and old fronds and seed stalks are cleared first. Farms on Kanoneiland and near Louisvale often remove old windbreak trees and dead orchard rows. In Paballelo and town gardens, big pepper trees over roofs usually come down in sections. Ask how palm debris and stumps will be removed.
Trees in Upington
Upington is an oasis on the Orange River, with vineyards, date palms and green irrigated fields in a hot, dry desert setting. Date palms line streets and farms, while river banks carry willows, karee, wild tamarisk and invaders such as mesquite. Gardens hold pepper trees, palms and gums, all of which rely on irrigation. Summers are extremely hot, and storms are short, with strong winds that can drop palm fronds and dead wood. Farmers ask for windbreak and riverbank clearing and old vine and palm removal, while homeowners want palms cleaned and pepper trees cut back. Check the alien listing for your area and whether indigenous trees are protected.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: rows of gum stumps ground on open ground with a towable grinder
- Homeowners: a stump in the lawn ground below the surface so grass can grow over it
- Businesses and commercial property: stumps in parking islands and verges ground down before replanting
