Tree care & clean-up in Benoni: local notes

Northmead and Rynfield have some of Benoni's oldest gardens, and homeowners mostly book pines, jacarandas and oaks lifted off roofs and thinned before the storm season. Around Homestead Lake and Middle Lake, removing listed willows and poplars is rarely a single visit, because suckers come back along the bank. Ask for chipping to be included, or whether the chips can stay behind as mulch for the beds.

Benoni: trees, weather and gardens

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.

The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:

• Homeowners: deadwooding old shade trees and pruning fruit trees so they stay safe and productive
• Farms, smallholdings and plantations: orchard pruning and deadwooding old windbreak trees near sheds and houses
• Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping old trees in common areas healthy with a planned pruning cycle
