Felling & removal in Alberton: local notes
In New Redruth and Brackenhurst, old pines and gums often stand within a few metres of houses and boundary walls, so sectional felling with rigging is usual. Meyersdal estates on the Klipriviersberg slopes may require approval before any tree comes down, and indigenous trees should be checked for protection first. On rocky ridge ground, stump grinding is usually more practical than digging out, so ask which the quote covers.
