Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across Claremont
Claremont is often described as the leafiest urban council in Western Australia, and it shows — avenues of mature planes, tuarts and jacarandas that are as much a part of the address as the heritage homes and the riverfront itself. Trees like these are an asset worth caring for properly.
Perth Arbor Services has provided qualified tree care across Claremont and the wider Town of Claremont since 2011. Our degree-qualified arborists work with homeowners, strata groups, retailers around Claremont Quarter and local councils, with one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

Tree Lopping
When a tree genuinely needs a heavy reduction for safety or clearance, we say so plainly — and when it doesn't, we say that too. Careless lopping can shorten a fine tree's life for no real gain, so we recommend the approach that actually suits your situation.
Learn more →Tree Removal
Many Claremont gardens hold decades-old trees planted when the homes were first built. When one is dead, unstable or crowding a period house, boundary wall or limestone driveway, we remove it cleanly at any size and clear the site properly.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Pruning to Australian Standard AS4373 that keeps a canopy healthy and well shaped while clearing rooflines, powerlines and the boundaries you share with close neighbours — supporting the tree's structure and longevity, not just a season's looks.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
The tall, established trees that give Claremont its character can also hide structural faults, decay or borer damage. Our written assessments document condition and hazard potential — a clear record of due diligence for homeowners, strata managers and agents.
Learn more →Land Clearance
For renovations, subdivisions and new builds across the Town of Claremont, we carry out efficient block clearance in line with council requirements, flagging any street or verge trees that need protecting before machinery arrives.
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 a heritage-garden replanting — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Because Claremont's streetscapes are so closely tied to its trees, the Town takes an active hand in managing them. Before you touch a tree on or beside your property, it helps to know which trees are the Town's responsibility and which are yours.
The Town of Claremont manages roughly 7,000 street, park and reserve trees, including the trees on your verge, and residents can't prune or remove these Town trees themselves. Under the Town's Street and Reserve Tree Management Guidelines, unauthorised pruning of a Town tree is prohibited under the Local Government (Uniform Local Provisions) Regulations 1996, and if a Town tree is illegally removed, damaged or poisoned the Town may prosecute the offender and recover the full cost of removal and replacement.
Trees on private land are generally yours to manage. That said, if your property is heritage-listed, carries a development or planning condition, or holds a tree the Town recognises for its significant or heritage value, approval may be needed first. To remove or replace a verge tree, the adjoining owner can lodge an application with the Town.
Perth Arbor Services checks all of this before we quote, not after. If an application to the Town is required, we'll tell you up front and help you work through it so the job isn't held up.
Not certain whether your tree work needs Town of Claremont approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What Claremont clients say
Claremont tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Claremont home?
No. The Town of Claremont manages roughly 7,000 street, park and reserve trees, including the trees on your verge, and residents can't prune or remove them themselves. Unauthorised pruning of a Town tree is prohibited under the Local Government (Uniform Local Provisions) Regulations 1996, and illegal removal or damage can see the Town recover the full cost and prosecute the offender. To remove or replace a verge tree, the adjoining owner can lodge an application with the Town — 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 Claremont?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally yours to manage. The exceptions are where your property is heritage-listed, carries a development or planning condition, or holds a tree the Town recognises for its significant or heritage value, in which case approval may be needed first. 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?
Careless lopping can shorten a fine tree's life for no real gain, while a properly planned reduction reaches the same practical result the right way. 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 a heritage-garden replanting, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Claremont affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Claremont 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.
