What to know locally in Midrand
Vorna Valley and Noordwyk gardens were planted in the 1980s and 1990s, and many trees are now too big for their stands. Crown reductions and lifting limbs off roofs and gutters are the usual jobs. Along the Jukskei and in the open spaces near Halfway House, wattle and poplars spread quickly, and alien tree removal there needs follow up because they sprout again from stumps and roots.
Trees in Midrand
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria on land that was farms and smallholdings not long ago, and the trees still show it. Windbreaks of bluegums, rows of pines and old poplars along the Jukskei and its tributaries stand beside new office parks and estates. Waterfall and Carlswald are being built up fast, so developers ask for stands to be cleared, while the horse farms and plots of Kyalami and Glen Austin need gums felled away from stables and paddocks. Summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail are fierce on this open high ground, and wind takes out shallow rooted trees on newly cleared land. Check whether any indigenous tree on a development site is protected before it is removed.
Typical tree cutting services requests in the area come from:
- Developers and building sites: taking down trees close to existing buildings on a site before construction
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: removing trees between units and over walkways where nothing can be dropped
- Homeowners: taking down a big tree next to the house, pool or wall without damage
