Equipment & supplies in Stellenbosch: local notes
Tool hire shops and garden equipment dealers in the Plankenbrug industrial area and on the road towards Somerset West carry chainsaws, chippers and stump grinders. Farm teams in Banhoek and Jamestown often keep their own saws. A towable chipper suits farm avenues; in the narrow old town streets near Dorp Street, check where it can park. Clean saws and chipper blades between jobs where borer may be present.
Trees in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is known for its oak-lined streets, and many of those oaks are now old and in decline. Dorp Street, the university area and the older town below Papegaaiberg carry big oaks and planes, while wine farms in the Jonkershoek and Banhoek valleys add stone pines, gum windbreaks and avenues. The polyphagous shot hole borer has been found in trees in the Western Cape, and dying oaks and other host trees are a concern for owners. Hot dry summers bring fire risk on the mountain edges. Requests come from homes, estates, the university, farms and businesses at Technopark. Heritage rules apply in the old town, so check before cutting.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Homeowners: chipping a big pile of prunings after the jacaranda or plane tree is cut back
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: clearing wattle and windbreak branches into chips over a long weekend
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: a day or two of chipping after the complex's annual tree trimming
