What to know locally in Midrand
Hire yards along the Old Pretoria Road and in Halfway House rent larger towable chippers and tracked stump grinders that suit plot work, as well as cherry pickers for tall gums. Kyalami farm owners clearing their own windbreaks should consider hiring an experienced feller for anything over roof height. Buy proper chainsaw safety gear, including chaps, boots and a helmet with ear muffs, before running any saw.
Trees in Midrand
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria on land that was farms and smallholdings not long ago, and the trees still show it. Windbreaks of bluegums, rows of pines and old poplars along the Jukskei and its tributaries stand beside new office parks and estates. Waterfall and Carlswald are being built up fast, so developers ask for stands to be cleared, while the horse farms and plots of Kyalami and Glen Austin need gums felled away from stables and paddocks. Summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail are fierce on this open high ground, and wind takes out shallow rooted trees on newly cleared land. Check whether any indigenous tree on a development site is protected before it is removed.
Typical wood chippers requests in the area come from:
- Developers and building sites: reducing brush from a cleared stand to chips before it is carted off
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chipping branches on site so the complex sends fewer loads to the dump
- Homeowners: turning hedge clippings and fruit tree prunings into mulch for beds and paths
