Pinetown notes on tree care & clean-up
Pruning work on the Highway leans towards keeping views and light. Homes in Kloof and Waterfall ask to lift and thin canopies rather than remove trees, and arborists are called to check old trees close to houses. Clearing invasive syringa, bugweed and lantana from the edges of the Krantzkloof and Palmiet valleys is steady work for garden services. Garden refuse is usually chipped on site, since carrying loose branches up steep driveways takes far longer.
Pinetown: trees, weather and gardens
Pinetown and the Upper Highway sit on hills, and that shapes almost every tree job here. Gardens in Kloof, Westville and Gillitts fall away steeply into valleys, so felled timber often cannot be dropped or dragged and must be lowered on ropes and carried out. Many older properties still have tall bluegums, pines and camphor trees planted decades ago, now leaning over houses on the slope below. Indigenous forest pockets and kloofs run through the area, so some trees on a stand may be protected. Industrial sites in New Germany and Westmead ask for clearing along fences and yards. Mist and heavy summer rain soften the ground, and trees on saturated slopes can lean or come down.
The requests we see from Pinetown usually come from:
- Homeowners: chipping branches after trimming and spreading the mulch on beds and paths
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chipping common area prunings on site and mulching gardens in the complex
- Businesses and commercial property: on-site chipping at hotels and office parks to cut down refuse loads
