George notes on equipment & supplies
George has tool hire shops and forestry and farm suppliers in its industrial area, with chainsaws, chains, chippers, stump grinders and protective gear. Many plantation contractors around George and Knysna run professional saws, so servicing is easy to find. Wet pine is sappy and gums up the bar, so clean chains often. For tall trees in Denneoord or Wilderness, a cherry picker needs firm ground, which can be scarce after rain.
What grows around George
George sits on a coastal plateau under the Outeniqua Mountains, where the Garden Route's indigenous forest meets large pine plantations. Rain falls in all seasons, so growth is steady and trees get big. Yellowwoods, stinkwoods and other forest trees grow in gardens and kloofs, and real yellowwoods are protected, so a licence is needed before cutting one. Pines, gums and blackwood planted around town spread into fynbos and forest edges, and several are listed invaders. Wildfires have hit the Garden Route before, and strong winds bring trees down. Homes, estates, farms and the timber trade all ask for tree work, and cutting pines back from houses is a common request.
Who asks for wood chipper hire around George, most often first:
- Homeowners: chipping a big pile of prunings after the jacaranda or plane tree is cut back
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a day or two of chipping after the complex's annual tree trimming
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: clearing wattle and windbreak branches into chips over a long weekend
