Midrand notes on felling & removal
Kyalami and Glen Austin plots often have bluegum windbreaks 25 m tall standing between stables, houses and the road. Where there is space, gums can be felled whole into a paddock; next to buildings they come down in sections. On Waterfall and Carlswald development stands, land clearing with stump removal is usually done before earthworks, so ask whether roots and stumps are dug out or ground.
What grows around 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.
Who asks for tree fellers around Midrand, most often first:
- Developers and building sites: a felling crew to clear trees from a stand ahead of building work
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: vetted tree fellers who meet the estate's insurance and access rules
- Homeowners: an insured team with climbers to take a big tree off the roofline safely
