Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across Dalkeith
Dalkeith's grand homes, large blocks and river frontage make it one of Perth's most prized addresses — and its established gardens and mature canopies are a big part of that appeal. Keeping those trees healthy, safe and looking their best takes proper, qualified care rather than a risky weekend job.
Perth Arbor Services has looked after trees across Dalkeith and the wider City of Nedlands since 2011. Our degree-qualified arborists handle removal, pruning, lopping, risk assessment and land clearance, with one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

One degree-qualified team for every job, from a single mature specimen to a full block clearance for a new build.
Tree Lopping
Lopping — the indiscriminate cutting of major limbs to reduce a tree's size — isn't the same as careful pruning, and done poorly it can leave a tree short of leaf, exposed to pests and prone to decay. We assess honestly first and reduce the right way.
Learn more →Tree Removal
When a tree is dead, unstable or crowding a grand Dalkeith home or boundary, we remove it at any size. Before we start we take every precaution to protect your property, and we clear the site — down to shrubs and undergrowth — before we leave.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Careful pruning and thinning to Australian Standard AS4373 keeps a tree healthy and well shaped, clear of roofs, powerlines and boundaries — cuts that support the tree's structure, not just its appearance for a season.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
Our written risk assessments weigh how likely a tree failure is and what the consequences would be, then set out clear recommendations to mitigate the risk — documented due diligence for homeowners, strata managers and agents.
Learn more →Land Clearance
Preparing for a new build, extension or landscaping project? We clear trees, shrubs and undergrowth efficiently on Dalkeith's large blocks, in line with City of Nedlands requirements, leaving the site ready for the next stage.
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 new landscaping on Dalkeith's established blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

The City of Nedlands is known for its green, leafy streets, and it manages its street trees closely. Before you touch a tree on or beside your Dalkeith block, it helps to know which trees are the City's responsibility and which are yours.
The City of Nedlands is responsible for all trees on the nature strip (verge), including their planting, pruning and removal, and it manages roughly 24,000 street trees under its Street Trees Policy and Urban Forest Strategy. Residents can't prune or remove a verge tree themselves; pruning is carried out by the City's qualified staff and contractors, and near powerlines it's done to Western Power's clearance requirements. If a street tree needs attention, you lodge a request with the City.
Trees on your own land are generally yours to manage. That said, notable public trees are recorded on the City's Register of Significant Public Trees, and if your property is heritage-listed or subject to a development or planning condition, approval may be needed before work begins.
Perth Arbor Services checks all of this before we quote, not after. If an application to the City is required, we can walk you through it so your project keeps moving.
Not sure whether your tree work needs City of Nedlands approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What Dalkeith clients say
Dalkeith tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Dalkeith home?
No. The City of Nedlands is responsible for all trees on the nature strip (verge), including their pruning and removal, and residents can't prune or remove them themselves. If a verge tree needs attention, you lodge a request with the City, and pruning is carried out by qualified staff and contractors — to Western Power's clearance requirements where powerlines are involved. If it's causing 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 Dalkeith?
Usually not, as trees on your own land are generally yours to manage. The exceptions are where your property is heritage-listed, subject to a development or planning condition, or where a tree is recorded on the City's Register of Significant Public Trees, in which case approval may be needed. 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?
Lopping is the indiscriminate cutting of major limbs to reduce a tree's size, and done poorly it can leave a tree short of leaf and prone to pests and decay. Careful pruning and thinning to Australian Standard AS4373 reaches the same practical result while protecting the tree's health, and we tell you honestly which approach your tree 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 new landscaping, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Dalkeith affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Dalkeith 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.
