Felling & removal in Western Cape: local notes
Big stone pines and gums in Constantia, Bishopscourt and Tokai often stand over houses and pools, so sectional felling with rigging is the norm. Along the Garden Route in George and Knysna, owners clear pines and gums back from homes to reduce fire risk. In Durbanville and the Helderberg, fellers remove wind-thrown trees after winter storms and grind the stumps out of lawns.
Western Cape: trees, weather and gardens
Cape Town and the Winelands carry a heavy load of old planted trees: English oaks in Stellenbosch and the Southern Suburbs, umbrella-shaped stone pines, tall bluegums and Monterey pines on the mountain slopes. Port Jackson and rooikrans spread across the Cape Flats and coastal sand, and pines invade fynbos. Rain comes in winter on the north-westers, which bring down shallow-rooted trees on soft ground, while the summer south-easter dries everything out and fans fires. Homeowners and estates ask for sectional felling, crown reduction of oaks and pines, and invader clearing on plots and farms. Heritage areas, estates and the municipality may have their own rules on removal, so check with them before work starts.
The requests we see from Western Cape 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
