What to know locally in Benoni
Lakeside trees in Lakefield and Farrarmere often lean out over water, jetties and boathouses, so they are usually dismantled in sections and swung back towards the lawn rather than dropped. On the Putfontein and Benoni agricultural holdings, gum windbreaks can often be felled whole into open ground, which is far quicker. Poplars and gums resprout from stumps and roots, so ask whether stumps near the water will be ground or treated.
Trees in Benoni
Benoni is the City of Lakes, and its trees follow the water. Willows, poplars and bluegums line Homestead Lake, Middle Lake and the dams around Lakefield and Farrarmere, often leaning over jetties and lawns. Away from the water, Northmead and Rynfield have established gardens with pines, jacarandas and oaks, while Putfontein and the agricultural holdings have gum windbreaks and wattle. Summer storms and hail are common across the open East Rand, and saturated lakeside soil lets trees topple after heavy rain. Homeowners, lakefront owners and smallholders ask for felling, trimming and clearing. Invasive species near water need follow up because they resprout. Check the listing for your tree and area.
