Newcastle notes on felling & removal
Many removals in Newcastle are old bluegums and pines in big gardens in Arbor Park, Hutten Heights and Lennoxton, lowered in sections where houses sit close. Lightning-struck trees after summer storms need checking quickly, since a split trunk can fail later. On farms out towards Utrecht and Charlestown, whole gum windbreaks are felled and cut into logs. Poplar and willow along the Ncandu River resprout from roots, so ask about stump treatment.
Trees in Newcastle
Newcastle lies in the north-west corner of KwaZulu-Natal, high enough for frosty winters and violent summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail. Gardens and streets carry jacarandas, bluegums, pines, poplars and willows, and the surrounding farmland has long rows of gum windbreaks and wattle along streams. Dry winters stress trees, and dead or dying gums are a regular reason to call a feller. Industry around the steelworks and the town's factories needs yards and fence lines kept clear, while farmers towards Utrecht and Dannhauser ask for windbreaks and bush to be cleared. Check the alien listing before replanting gums or poplars, and leave pavement trees to the municipality.
Typical stump removal requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: an old stump dug out so a new bed, lawn or paving can go in
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: gum and wattle stumps dug out of fields and treated to stop them resprouting
- Businesses and commercial property: stumps removed from parking areas and verges before new paving is laid
