Hire shops in Kimberley serve a wide region, so book chippers and stump grinders a few days ahead. Homeowners in Monument Heights and Hadison Park often buy a small petrol chainsaw for dead wood and firewood. In the heat, work early in the day, carry water and still wear the full set of protective gear.
Trees in Kimberley
Kimberley lies in hot, dry country, and the trees here have to be tough. Pepper trees, planted widely in older suburbs and on mine land, grow wide and heavy and drop limbs. Camel thorn, which is protected, grows on the open veld around the city and in some older yards. Gardens also carry gums, cypresses, karee and palms. Summers are very hot with short, violent thunderstorms, and winters are cold and frosty. Drought often leaves trees weak, and old pepper trees split or lean over walls. Homeowners, schools, churches and old mine properties ask for removal of dead trees and pruning of pepper trees. Check whether a camel thorn is protected before removing it.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners: turning hedge clippings and fruit tree prunings into mulch for beds and paths
- Schools, churches and municipalities: parks and cemeteries chipping branches into mulch for municipal beds
- Businesses and commercial property: a grounds team chipping prunings from office parks and hotel gardens
