Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across City Beach
City Beach is one of Perth's most exposed coastal suburbs, where large architect-designed homes sit on generous blocks within sight of the Indian Ocean. It's a beautiful setting, but a hard one on trees — salt-laden sea breezes, sandy soils and summer storms all take their toll on established canopy.
Perth Arbor Services has looked after trees across City Beach and the wider Town of Cambridge since 2011. Our degree-qualified arborists handle everything from coastal storm damage to careful pruning of mature Norfolk Island pines, with one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

One degree-qualified team for every coastal job, from a single storm-damaged pine to a full lot clearance.
Tree Lopping
When a large canopy needs reducing for clearance or wind resistance, how it's done matters. Crude lopping can leave a coastal tree weaker and more storm-prone, so we recommend the method that keeps your tree sound rather than just shorter.
Learn more →Tree Removal
Coastal conditions and shifting sandy ground can leave a tree unstable, hollowed or in irreversible decline. Whether it's been battered by an onshore gale or is too big for a rebuilt block, we remove trees of any size safely, with full site clean-up.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Well-timed pruning helps coastal trees shed wind load, stay clear of rooflines and recover their shape after storm season. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, supporting long-term health and structure, not just a tidy-up.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
Relentless coastal wind means faults can develop out of sight, well before a branch or trunk gives way. Our written assessments document weakness, decay and hazard potential — a clear record for homeowners and strata managers before the next big blow.
Learn more →Land Clearance
For the knock-down rebuilds and new coastal homes common across City Beach, we carry out efficient lot clearance in line with Town of Cambridge requirements, retaining anything worth keeping wherever the plans allow.
Learn more →Stump Grinding
Once a tree is down, we grind the stump well below the sandy surface so it won't regrow or get in the way of paving, lawn or a new coastal build — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in City Beach isn't always as simple as it looks from the footpath. Before you touch anything on or near your boundary, it helps to know where the Town's responsibility stops and yours starts.
The Town of Cambridge is responsible for the 27,000-plus trees on its streets and in its parks, and residents are not permitted to plant, prune or remove verge trees themselves, regardless of who put them there. You can, however, ask the Town to inspect or prune a street tree back to your property line through its request form. Interfering with or damaging a Town tree can lead to prosecution under the Town's Local Government and Public Property Local Law, so penalties may apply for unauthorised work.
Trees growing on your own land are generally yours to manage. That said, if your property is heritage-listed, sits within a conservation area or planning-scheme provision, or is subject to a development-approval condition, additional consent may be needed before work goes ahead.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs Town approval before we quote, not once the job is underway. If a request or application is involved, we can walk you through it so your project keeps moving.
Not sure whether your tree work needs Town of Cambridge approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What City Beach clients say
City Beach tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my City Beach property?
No. The Town of Cambridge is responsible for the 27,000-plus trees on its streets and in its parks, and residents can't plant, prune or remove verge trees themselves. You can ask the Town to inspect or prune a street tree back to your property line through its request form. Interfering with or damaging a Town tree can lead to prosecution under the Town's Local Government and Public Property Local Law, so it always pays to check first.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in City Beach?
Usually not, as trees on your own land are generally yours to manage. The exceptions are where your property is heritage-listed, sits within a conservation area or planning-scheme provision, or is subject to a development-approval condition, in which case additional consent may be needed before work goes ahead. 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 coastal tree weaker and more storm-prone, 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 the sandy surface so it won't throw up regrowth or get in the way of paving, lawn or a new build, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is City Beach affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. City Beach 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 near Bold Park or in the garden, 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 coastal storm damage and 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.
