Welkom notes on felling & removal
Tall gums and pines in Doorn, St Helena and Riebeeckstad often stand close to houses, so they come down in sections. On old mine land between Welkom and Odendaalsrus, there is often room for whole-tree felling. Ask about stump grinding, since gum stumps resprout. Logs from big gums are heavy, so confirm whether they stay or go.
What grows around Welkom
Welkom was planned as a garden city for the goldfields, and its wide streets and traffic circles were planted with trees that are now mature: gums, pines, cypresses, pepper trees, Chinese elms and planes. Old mine land and mine villages around town often hold long rows of tall gums. Mine dumps and tailings ponds bring dust and poor soil. The climate is dry with hot summers, short heavy storms and frosty winters. Many trees now reach heights that cause trouble, with limbs over roofs, roads and power lines. Homeowners, schools and mining properties ask for felling of tall gums and pines, while estates ask for crown work. Never work near power lines.
Who asks for tree fellers around Welkom, most often first:
- Homeowners: an insured team with climbers to take a big tree off the roofline safely
- Businesses and commercial property: insured tree fellers working after hours around parking areas and buildings
- Servitudes and fire breaks: authorised teams that work near servitudes once lines are made safe
