Felling & removal in Rustenburg: local notes
Plots near Kroondal and the Olifantsnek Dam road often hold thorn trees and invaders mixed together, so a clearing job starts with knowing which trees can stay. In Safari Gardens and Cashan, big gums and syringas over roofs are usually taken down in sections. Syringa resprouts from stumps, so ask about treating or grinding them after felling.
Trees in Rustenburg
Rustenburg lies at the foot of the Magaliesberg, where bushveld meets town. Indigenous thorn trees, karee, wild olive and buffalo thorn grow on the slopes and on smallholdings, while gardens in the suburbs carry jacarandas, bluegums, pepper trees and big syringas. The platinum belt around the town has brought fast building, and developers often need stands cleared. Summers are hot with afternoon thunderstorms and lightning off the mountain, and winters are dry and mild. The work asked for most is removing invaders and oversized garden trees, clearing bush on new stands, and lifting crowns off roofs. Mining companies and housing developments ask for larger jobs. Check whether indigenous trees on your land are protected first.
