What grows around Randburg
Randburg mixes older suburbs with mature gardens and the rocky koppies of the northern Johannesburg ridges. Linden, Blairgowrie and Ferndale were planted with jacarandas, oaks, pines and bluegums in the middle of the last century, and those trees now crowd small stands and overhead cables. Northcliff Ridge and the koppies around Bromhof carry indigenous bush, including white stinkwood and wild olive, that should be checked before anyone cuts. Thunderstorms roll across the ridges from the west most summer afternoons, and lightning strikes are common on high ground. The usual requests are trimming over roofs and cables, removing dying pines, and grinding stumps in small gardens. Pavement trees here generally belong to the city.
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
- Businesses and commercial property: a grounds team chipping prunings from office parks and hotel gardens
