What We Do in Booragoon
Tree Removal Booragoon
Many Booragoon blocks were planted out decades ago, and those trees have since grown to a size that can lift paving, crowd fences or threaten older roofing and pipework. We remove trees of any scale safely, working carefully around established gardens and tight suburban setbacks, and we clear the site fully once the job is done.
Tree Pruning Booragoon
Well-timed pruning keeps a tree strong, balanced and safely clear of powerlines, gutters and your neighbour's boundary. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, which means each cut is made to support the tree's structure and long-term health, not simply to neaten its shape for the season.
Tree Lopping Booragoon
When a canopy genuinely needs cutting back for clearance or safety, we are upfront about the method. Crude lopping can leave a tree weaker and more hazardous than before, whereas proper reduction pruning reaches the same result without that harm. We will tell you plainly which approach your tree actually needs.
Tree Risk Assessment Booragoon
The large trees that give Booragoon its character can also become a liability once they age or decline unnoticed. Our written risk assessments pick up structural defects, decay and hazard potential, giving homeowners, strata managers and property owners a clear, documented record of the tree's condition and any due diligence taken.
Land Clearance Booragoon
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.
Palm Trimming Booragoon
Palms feature in plenty of Booragoon's older gardens, but left alone their fronds and seed pods grow heavy, messy and prone to dropping. We trim palms at any height, taking out dead fronds and fruit before they become a nuisance, and leaving the tree tidy, healthy and safe overhead.
City of Melville Tree Regulations: What You Need to Know Before Any Work Begins
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 written approval from the City. Any damage caused to a council tree through negligent action carries penalties 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 will explain exactly what it involves so the paperwork does not hold your project up.
Not certain whether your job needs City of Melville approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we will 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. Verge trees in Booragoon are managed by the City of Melville, and residents cannot prune, remove or interfere with them without written approval from the City first. Damage caused to a council tree through negligent action carries penalties up to $10,000 under the City's Local Law. If a verge tree is causing you grief, contact the City or give us a call and we will point you the right way.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Booragoon?
Usually not, since trees on private land are generally yours to manage. The exceptions are properties that are heritage-listed, subject to a development approval condition, or home to a tree on a significant tree register, where additional approvals may be required before any work can proceed. Perth Arbor Services checks what needs council sign-off before we quote, not after.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
There is a real difference between crude lopping that undermines a tree's long-term health and proper pruning that reaches the same practical result without the damage. Our arborists prune to Australian Standard AS4373 so the work supports 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 fits your situation.
Is Booragoon affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Booragoon falls within Perth's metropolitan Quarantine Area for PSHB, an invasive beetle that bores into a wide range of tree species. If you have susceptible trees on your property, an early assessment is a sensible step, and our arborists can inspect them and manage the risk accordingly.
