Mpumalanga notes on felling & removal
Around Sabie, Graskop and Pilgrim's Rest, self-sown pines and gums grow right up to houses and guest lodges, and many come down in sections on steep ground. In White River and the estates off the R40, fellers take out old orchard trees and storm-damaged gums. Near eMalahleni and Middelburg, bluegum rows on smallholdings are often felled whole into open veld.
Trees in Mpumalanga
Two very different landscapes share this province. On the escarpment around Sabie, Graskop and Lydenburg, pine and eucalyptus plantations cover the hills, and their fringes creep into towns, farm roads and smallholdings. Down in the Lowveld, Mbombela, White River and Hazyview sit among mango, macadamia, avocado and litchi orchards, with warm, humid summers that make garden trees grow fast. The coal belt towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda get Highveld hail and hard winter frost. Work ranges from felling stray gums and pines near homes to orchard clearing, storm clean-ups and stump grinding. Check whether a tree is protected before clearing indigenous bush, and treat plantation edges as someone else's land until you know otherwise.
Typical tree removal requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a tree lifting paving or overhanging the roof removed with the stump and wood cleared
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: dead or unwanted trees near homesteads and sheds removed and the logs kept for firewood
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: trees in shared gardens removed with body corporate approval and a clean site afterwards
