Polokwane notes on equipment & supplies
Developers clearing stands near Seshego and Mankweng often hire a towable chipper and a stump grinder together for a few days. Homeowners in Bendor tend to buy a petrol chainsaw of around 40 to 50 cc. In the dry heat, keep fuel shaded and carry water, and wear the full kit: helmet, visor, ear muffs, chaps and boots.
Polokwane: trees, weather and gardens
Polokwane stands on a high, dry plateau, and the bushveld reaches right into town. Marula, which is protected, grows on open land and in older yards, along with acacias, karee and wild seringa. Planted gardens carry jacarandas, pepper trees, bluegums and syringas, and syringa spreads easily into open land and stream banks. Rain comes in summer storms, and winters are dry and mild with little frost. The city is growing fast, so developers often need stands cleared, while homeowners want big trees off roofs and walls. Because marula and some other local trees are protected, check before clearing indigenous bush, and check the alien listing for syringa and gums.
Typical wood chippers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: turning hedge clippings and fruit tree prunings into mulch for beds and paths
- Developers and building sites: reducing brush from a cleared stand to chips before it is carted off
- Businesses and commercial property: a grounds team chipping prunings from office parks and hotel gardens
