Sandton notes on tree care & clean-up
Morningside, Sandhurst and Illovo homeowners mostly ask for crown thinning, deadwood removal and lifting branches clear of roofs and security fences. A qualified arborist can assess an old oak for decay before you decide to remove it. Willows and poplars along the Braamfontein Spruit near Rivonia sucker heavily, so alien tree removal along the stream should include treating stumps and later follow up.
Trees in Sandton
Sandton's older suburbs were laid out on big stands with big trees: Bryanston, Hurlingham, Sandhurst and Morningside still have oaks, pines, bluegums and plane trees planted on what were once one acre plots. Many of those stands are now being subdivided into clusters and townhouses, so developers and new owners ask for trees to be removed before building starts. Elsewhere, homeowners want heavy limbs lifted off roofs, tennis courts and pools. The Braamfontein Spruit and the Sandspruit carry willows and poplars that fall in summer storms. Highveld lightning and hail are part of every summer here. Check with the municipality before touching pavement trees, and check whether any tree on a stand is protected.
Typical wood chipping and mulching requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: chipping branches after trimming and spreading the mulch on beds and paths
- Developers and building sites: chipping cleared brush on a stand instead of trucking it away
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: chipping common area prunings on site and mulching gardens in the complex
