Pretoria notes on equipment & supplies
Silverton and Pretoria West have tool hire shops that rent chainsaws, chipper trailers and stump grinders, and garden equipment dealers along the main roads of Lynnwood and Montana sell pole saws and safety gear. Pretoria East estates often have gate rules for trailers and noise times, so check them before hiring a towable chipper. A trained operator is worth asking for on a stump grinder.
What grows around Pretoria
Pretoria is the Jacaranda City, and the purple avenues of Arcadia, Brooklyn, Muckleneuk and Waterkloof are why. Those jacarandas are now large, heavy trees, often planted on pavements, and their roots lift paving and driveways. Further east, the estates of Faerie Glen, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof and Woodhill have younger gardens full of fast growing trees that outgrow small stands. The city sits warmer than Johannesburg, with hot summers, violent thunderstorms and lightning, and frost in the low valleys. Body corporates, homeowners and smallholders north of the Magaliesberg ask most for trimming off roofs, removing storm damaged trees and grinding stumps. Jacaranda has an invasive listing in some places, so check the listing for your tree and area.
Typical wood chippers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: turning hedge clippings and fruit tree prunings into mulch for beds and paths
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chipping branches on site so the complex sends fewer loads to the dump
- Schools, churches and municipalities: parks and cemeteries chipping branches into mulch for municipal beds
