Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across Belmont
Wedged between the Swan River foreshore and the hum of Great Eastern Highway and Perth Airport, Belmont has never stopped changing. Post-war brick homes sit alongside fresh infill and townhouse builds, and the trees that soften those streets need care that keeps pace.
Perth Arbor Services has delivered professional tree work throughout Belmont and the wider City of Belmont since 2011. Our degree-qualified arborists handle everything from one backyard tree to a full development-site clearance, with one clear written quote agreed before we go ahead.

One degree-qualified team for every job on your block, from a single overhanging limb to a full development-site clearance.
Tree Lopping
When a tree genuinely needs its crown brought down for safety or clearance, we explain the options plainly — crude lopping can wreck a tree's future, while a proper reduction reaches the same result without the damage.
Learn more →Tree Removal
Belmont's older blocks carry big, long-established trees, and rapid infill nearby means roots and canopies now compete with driveways, fences and new builds. We take trees down safely at any size, full site tidy-up folded into the price.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Pruning to Australian Standard AS4373 that keeps a tree strong and well-shaped while pulling limbs back from powerlines, roofs and boundary fences — every cut for long-term health, not a quick trim.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
Belmont's exposure to strong sea-breeze gusts, plus its mix of ageing and freshly disturbed sites, makes hidden tree faults a real concern. Our written assessments document defects, decay and hazard potential as clear due-diligence evidence.
Learn more →Land Clearance
With subdivision and higher-density projects active across Belmont, Kewdale and Rivervale, we deliver prompt full-lot clearance for builders and developers, in line with City of Belmont requirements.
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 driveways, paving or new builds on infill blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in Belmont comes with rules that catch a lot of residents off guard. Before you touch anything on or near your verge, it helps to know exactly where the City's responsibility sits and where yours takes over.
The City of Belmont manages every street and verge tree on its land — the City calls these "City trees". Residents are not permitted to prune, remove or otherwise interfere with them in any way; that work needs written approval from the City first, and unauthorised damage to a City tree may attract penalties under the City's Consolidated Local Law 2020.
Trees on private property are generally yours to manage, but there are exceptions. If a tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order, listed on the City's significant tree register, or tied to a development or planning-approval condition, you may need consent from the City before any work can start.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs council approval before we quote, not once the job is underway. If an application is required, we can walk you through what the City expects so approvals don't hold up your plans.
Unsure whether your tree work needs City of Belmont approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What Belmont clients say
Belmont tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Belmont property?
No. The City of Belmont manages every street and verge tree — its "City trees" — and residents are not permitted to prune, remove or interfere with them. That work needs the City's written approval first, and unauthorised damage may attract penalties under the Consolidated Local Law 2020. If a City 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 Belmont?
Usually not, as trees on private property are generally yours to manage. The exceptions are a Tree Preservation Order, a listing on the City's significant tree register, or a development or planning-approval condition, which can require the City's consent 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 wreck a tree's future, while a proper reduction reaches the same practical result without the damage. 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 driveways, paving or new landscaping, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Belmont affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Belmont 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.
