Homeowners in the older suburbs off Frikkie Meyer Boulevard mostly book jacarandas, plane trees and pines trimmed off roofs before the summer storms. On the river near Bophelong and along open ground in Sebokeng, listed willows and poplars spread, and alien tree removal there needs repeat visits for suckers.

Trees in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark was planned as a steel town on the banks of the Vaal River, with wide streets, parks and suburbs laid out around them. Many of the planted trees are now mature: jacarandas, plane trees, pines and bluegums along streets and in gardens. On the river plots and along the Vaal, willows, poplars and gums lean over the water and fall when the banks are undercut after heavy rain. Summers are hot with thunderstorms, lightning and hail, and winters bring frost. Homeowners, river plot owners and businesses ask for trimming, felling and clearing. Check the listing for willows and poplars near water before planning removal.
