Tree Lopping
When a canopy genuinely needs cutting back for clearance or safety, we're upfront about the method — crude lopping leaves a tree weaker, while proper reduction pruning reaches the same result without the harm.
Learn more →Tree Removal
Many Booragoon blocks were planted out decades ago, and those trees can now lift paving, crowd fences and threaten older roofing and pipework. We remove trees of any scale safely around established gardens, and clear the site fully.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Pruning to Australian Standard AS4373 that keeps a tree strong and balanced, safely clear of powerlines, gutters and the neighbour's boundary — each cut supporting long-term health, not just a seasonal tidy.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
The large trees that give Booragoon its character can become a liability once they age or decline unnoticed. Our written assessments pick up defects, decay and hazard potential as a clear, documented record for homeowners, strata and property owners.
Learn more →Land Clearance
For infill developments, subdivisions and new builds around Booragoon, we carry out efficient full-lot clearance in line with the City of Melville's requirements, leaving the block ready for the next stage.
Learn more →Stump Grinding
Once a tree is down, we grind the stump well below ground so it won't regrow or get in the way of paving, lawn or new landscaping on established blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.
Learn more →City of Melville tree regulations: what you need to know
Tree work in Booragoon comes with a few rules worth understanding before the first branch comes down. Knowing where the council's responsibility stops and yours starts can save you a good deal of trouble.
The City of Melville is responsible for all trees on council-managed land, verges included. Residents are not permitted to prune, remove or otherwise interfere with a verge tree without first obtaining the City's written approval, and any damage caused to a council tree through negligent action carries penalties of up to $10,000 under the City's Local Law.
Trees growing on private land are usually yours to manage as you see fit. That said, if your property is heritage-listed, tied to a development-approval condition, or holds a tree listed on a significant tree register, further approvals may be needed before work can start.
Perth Arbor Services checks all of this before we quote, never after. If an application is required, we'll explain exactly what it involves so the paperwork doesn't hold your project up.
Not certain whether your job needs City of Melville approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What Booragoon clients say
Booragoon tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Booragoon property?
No. The City of Melville is responsible for all trees on council-managed land, verges included, and you can't prune, remove or interfere with a verge tree without the City's written approval first. Negligent damage to a council tree carries penalties of up to $10,000 under the City's Local Law. If a verge tree is a problem, contact the City or call us and we'll point you the right way.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Booragoon?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally yours to manage. The exceptions are where your property is heritage-listed, tied to a development-approval condition, or holds a tree on a significant tree register, in which case further approvals may be needed before work starts. Perth Arbor Services checks and advises on all of this before we quote, not after.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
Crude lopping can leave a tree weaker and more hazardous, while proper reduction pruning reaches the same practical result without that harm. Our arborists work to Australian Standard AS4373 so every cut benefits the tree's structure, and we tell you honestly which approach your tree actually needs.
Do you grind out the stump after removing a tree?
Yes. Stump grinding is part of what we do. Once a tree is removed we can grind the stump well below ground level so it won't throw up regrowth or get in the way of paving, lawn or new landscaping, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Booragoon affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Booragoon sits within Perth's metropolitan Quarantine Area for the polyphagous shot-hole borer, an invasive beetle that bores into a wide range of tree species. If you have susceptible trees on your property, early assessment is recommended, and our arborists can inspect and manage the risk accordingly.
How quickly can you attend a storm-damaged or dangerous tree?
We work seven days a week and offer emergency call-outs for storm-damaged or failing trees that can't wait. Call us on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll get a qualified arborist out to you as quickly as possible.
