Climb the gentle rise that gives Yokine its name and the canopy comes into view: mature gums and jacarandas shading generous mid-century blocks, the open green of Yokine Reserve, and the fairways of the public golf course beyond. Trees this settled are an asset worth protecting properly, with care from a qualified arborist.
Perth Arbor Services provides professional tree work across Yokine and the wider City of Stirling. Our degree-qualified arborists have looked after local homeowners, businesses and strata groups since 2011, covering tree removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance seven days a week, with written quotes and no obligation to go ahead.

What We Do in Yokine
Tree Removal Yokine
Yokine's generous post-war blocks have given decades for gums, pines and other large trees to reach full size, and some eventually outgrow the space or begin lifting driveways and older brick footings. We remove trees of every size safely, working carefully around established gardens, and every job includes full site clean-up.
Tree Pruning Yokine
Thoughtful pruning keeps mature trees healthy and safely clear of powerlines, rooflines and fences shared with neighbours. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, so the work supports the tree's long-term structure and health rather than simply neatening its shape for the season.
Tree Lopping Yokine
When a canopy genuinely needs cutting back for clearance or safety, how it is done matters. Crude lopping can leave a tree weaker and prone to unstable regrowth, while a properly planned reduction reaches the same result without the damage. We will tell you honestly which approach your tree actually needs.
Tree Risk Assessment Yokine
The tall, ageing trees that give Yokine its character can also hide structural weakness, decay or disease that is easy to miss from the ground. Our written risk assessments document faults and hazard potential, giving homeowners, strata managers and the City a clear record of due diligence.
Land Clearance Yokine
As older Yokine blocks are subdivided or rebuilt, we provide efficient lot clearance for builders and owners, carried out in line with City of Stirling requirements and any tree-retention conditions on the approval.
Palm Trimming Yokine
Palms feature in plenty of Yokine's established gardens, but once fronds die off and seed pods form they grow heavy, messy and unsafe. We trim palms of any height, clearing dead fronds and fruit before they drop and leaving each one tidy, balanced and healthy.
City of Stirling Tree Regulations: What You Need to Know Before Any Work Begins
Tree work in Yokine is not simply a matter of picking up a saw. Before you touch any tree on or near your boundary, it helps to know where the City's responsibility ends and yours begins.
The City of Stirling manages the street and verge trees across its suburbs, planting thousands each year as part of its Urban Forest Plan. Residents must not prune, remove, poison or otherwise interfere with a street tree, and doing so without written authorisation is treated as vandalism, with penalties available under the City's Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree is a problem, the City is the one to contact.
Trees on private property are generally yours to manage, but not always without conditions. If your block is affected by a development approval, a tree-retention requirement, or a tree entered on the City's voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, extra approval may be needed before work begins.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs council approval before we quote, not after. Where an application is required, we can walk you through it so it does not hold up your project.

What Yokine Clients Say
Yokine Tree Service Questions, Answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Yokine property?
No. Street and verge trees in Yokine are managed by the City of Stirling, and residents must not prune, remove, poison or otherwise interfere with them without written authorisation from the City. Doing so is treated as vandalism, with penalties available under the City's Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree is causing you problems, contact the City or call us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Yokine?
Usually not, as trees on private property in Yokine are generally yours to manage. However, if your block is subject to a development approval, a tree-retention condition, or a tree listed on the City of Stirling's voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, additional approval may be required first. Perth Arbor Services will advise you on what needs council approval before we quote, not after.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
There is a real difference between crude lopping that harms a tree's long-term health and pruning that reaches the same practical result properly. Our arborists prune to Australian Standard AS4373 so the work benefits the tree rather than just tidying its appearance. Where a canopy genuinely needs reducing for safety or clearance, we assess it honestly and tell you which approach your tree actually needs.
Is Yokine affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Yokine sits within Perth's metropolitan Quarantine Area for PSHB, an invasive beetle that attacks a wide range of tree species. If you have susceptible species on your property, early assessment is recommended, and our arborists can assess and manage the risk accordingly.
