Tree care & clean-up in Randfontein: local notes
Greenhills and Robinson Lake gardens have established jacarandas, pines and fruit trees that need ordinary trimming and deadwood removal. Around Riebeeck Lake and on vacant ground in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, wattle spreads, so alien tree removal is a recurring job. Gum and wattle wood makes good firewood once seasoned, so many fellers sell or leave it split.
What grows around Randfontein
Randfontein grew around gold mines, and the mine land still holds long rows of bluegums planted for props and shelter. Those trees are now old, often dying back from the top, and they stand beside roads, rail lines and houses in Randgate, Greenhills and Toekomsrus. Out of town, farms and plots towards Westonaria and Hekpoort have gum woodlots, pines and wattle along streams. Highveld storms bring lightning and hail each summer, and dead gums drop limbs without warning. Requests are mostly felling dead or leaning gums, clearing plots, and trimming garden trees in town. Smallholders and businesses ask as often as homeowners. Check the listing for gums and wattle on your land.
