Our Services

Likhona Lethu specialises in providing a range of horticultural services, ranging from  clearing alien vegetation to garden, park and roadside maintenance, fire breaks and street cleaning. We pride ourselves on delivering a professional, affordable, reliable and efficient service where your satisfaction is our priority. Our services include:

High-Altitude Invasive Plant Control

A single pine or gum tree can absorb about 1200 litres of water a day, resulting in significant water loss to indigenous plants and animals, not to mention restricting the flow of water to dams for human consumption. We have extensive experience in clearing invasive plants at high altitudes to ensure the natural flow of rivers and waterways.

Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSBH)

The Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PHSB) beetle is native to Southeast Asia and has a symbiotic relationship with the fungus (Fusarium Euwallaceae). This insect-disease complex was first detected in KwaZulu-Natal, but has spread across the country and is threatening South Africa’s trees. Likhona Lethu takes a multi-pronged approach to permanently eradicating PHSB from trees in natural areas, gardens and farms.

Rope Access Technicians

Our highly trained and certified rope technicians use specialised safety gear and adhere to health and safety best practice when conducting services such as tree felling or plant clearing at hard-to-reach heights.

Specialized Tree Felling

We follow a safety protocol when felling large trees that minimises risk to humans and animals as well as buildings and assets.

Tree topping, Pruning and Hedge Maintenance

Our employees conduct professional tree topping, pruning and hedge maintenance to maintain the beauty, health and longevity of these plants.

Footpath and Roadside Maintenance

Footpaths and hiking trails need to be regularly maintained to ensure clear, safe pathways for walkers and hikers as well as to prevent soil erosion. We also offer roadside maintenance which includes clearing litter, weeds and invasive plants as well as pruning, mowing and brush cutting.

Firebreaks

Firebreaks are essential to wildfire management on farms, natural reserves and even in urban areas. Likhona Lethu has extensive experience in the correct application when cutting firebreaks and conducting controlled burns.

Aquatic Weed Control

Water hyacinth and other aquatic weeds can spread quickly, choking waterways and harming or even killing indigenous marine life. Our services include the physical removal of these plants and, where possible, biological management to ensure they do not return.
