Licensed arborists servicing South Perth and nearby Inner Perth suburbs. Free written quotes, same-week availability, full clean-up included.
Tree lopping in South Perth is rarely just about cutting a branch off. It is about knowing which cuts a tree will recover from, which ones will kill it, and when removal is genuinely the safer call. That judgement is what you are paying a qualified arborist for.
We quote South Perth jobs on site, in writing, with clean-up and green waste disposal included in the number, so what you are told on the day is what you pay.
South Perth sits inside the City of South Perth. Before any removal we check whether the tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order, whether it exceeds the council's protected height or trunk-diameter threshold, and whether it is a significant native. Removing a protected tree without approval in Western Australia can attract fines running into the thousands, so this check happens before we quote, not after.
Street trees and verge trees in South Perth belong to the City of South Perth, not to the homeowner, and cannot be lopped privately. If the tree you are worried about is on the verge we will tell you and point you at the right council request form. Our full Perth tree removal permit guide covers the thresholds council by council.
The trees we are called out to most around South Perth are jacaranda, London plane, Illawarra flame tree and lemon-scented gum. Ground conditions across Inner Perth are older river-flat soils on tight blocks, where access and overhead powerlines are usually the hardest part of the job.
That matters more than most people expect. It changes how a tree has to be rigged down, whether a stump can be ground out in one visit, and how likely roots are to have already reached your paving, pipes or footings. A quote given over the phone without seeing the block is a guess. Ours are done on site.
We have worked on hundreds of Inner Perth properties and we know how the local council handles tree applications. We tell you up front whether your job needs approval and walk you through the paperwork if it does, rather than leaving you to find out afterwards.
We carry $20 million public liability insurance and all work is performed by qualified arborists, so your property and your neighbour's are covered before anyone climbs.
South Perth falls under the City of South Perth. Approval is generally required if the tree is listed on a Tree Preservation Order, is a significant native species, or sits on verge or public land. A tree planted by a homeowner in a private backyard usually does not need approval, but it is always worth checking before the saw comes out. We check this for you as part of the quote.
Most South Perth jobs land between $300 and $800 for a small tree, $800 to $2,500 for a medium tree, and $2,500 or more for a large tree close to a house or powerlines. Access is the biggest single price factor: a tree a truck can park next to costs far less than the same tree behind a narrow side gate. Quotes are free and fixed in writing.
Around South Perth and the wider Inner Perth area we mostly deal with jacaranda, London plane, Illawarra flame tree and lemon-scented gum. Local ground conditions are older river-flat soils on tight blocks, where access and overhead powerlines are usually the hardest part of the job, and that changes how a tree is rigged down and how long a stump takes to grind out.
Yes. Every quote includes chipping the branches, removing the green waste, and raking and blowing the area down before we leave. There is no separate clean-up fee and no pile of timber left on your verge.
