What to know locally in Benoni
Tool hire shops in Benoni town and along the roads towards Boksburg rent chainsaws, chippers and stump grinders by the day. Plot owners in Putfontein and Crystal Park clearing gums every winter often find buying a mid-sized petrol chainsaw cheaper than repeat hire. Where a lakeside tree cannot be climbed safely, a cherry picker on firm ground is the usual answer, so ask whether the lawn will take its weight.
Benoni: trees, weather and gardens
Benoni is the City of Lakes, and its trees follow the water. Willows, poplars and bluegums line Homestead Lake, Middle Lake and the dams around Lakefield and Farrarmere, often leaning over jetties and lawns. Away from the water, Northmead and Rynfield have established gardens with pines, jacarandas and oaks, while Putfontein and the agricultural holdings have gum windbreaks and wattle. Summer storms and hail are common across the open East Rand, and saturated lakeside soil lets trees topple after heavy rain. Homeowners, lakefront owners and smallholders ask for felling, trimming and clearing. Invasive species near water need follow up because they resprout. Check the listing for your tree and area.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:

- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: a PTO chipper for orchard prunings, wattle and windbreak trimmings
