Dianella takes its name from the native flax lily, and the suburb has grown into one of Perth's largest, laid out on generous mid-century blocks that gave families room to plant. Seventy years on, those gardens have matured into tall jacarandas, gums, figs and Cape lilacs, and around Dianella Regional Open Space the canopy is thick enough to change the temperature on a summer afternoon.
Perth Arbor Services looks after trees like these across Dianella and the wider City of Stirling. Our degree-qualified arborists have worked with local homeowners, strata groups and businesses since 2011, handling tree removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance seven days a week, with free written quotes and no obligation to go ahead.

What We Do in Dianella
Tree Removal Dianella
Decades of growth on Dianella's big blocks means many gardens now hold trees far larger than the owners who planted them expected. When a gum, fig or pine outgrows its space, or its roots start lifting paths and reaching foundations, we remove it safely at any size and clear the site properly before we leave.
Tree Pruning Dianella
Thoughtful pruning keeps a mature tree strong, opens it up to light and airflow and clears branches from roofs, powerlines and the fence line you share with a neighbour. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373 so the cuts help the tree hold its shape for years, not just tidy it for a season.
Tree Lopping Dianella
When a canopy needs serious reducing for clearance or safety, how it is cut matters. Crude lopping can leave a Dianella tree weak, disease-prone and pushing out unstable regrowth, when careful crown reduction would reach the same result without the harm. We tell you honestly which your tree needs before we start.
Tree Risk Assessment Dianella
The tall, older trees that give Dianella its shade also carry risk once limbs weaken or decay sets in out of sight. Our written assessments document structural faults, disease and hazard potential, giving homeowners, strata managers and property owners a clear record of due diligence and a plan for what to do next.
Land Clearance Dianella
As Dianella's older quarter-acre lots are subdivided and rebuilt, sites often need clearing of established trees and undergrowth first. We handle full lot clearance efficiently and in line with City of Stirling requirements, flagging any protected or registered trees before machinery arrives.
Palm Trimming Dianella
Plenty of Dianella's mid-century gardens feature date and cotton palms that have grown well past easy reach. Dead fronds, seed pods and fruit turn heavy and hazardous as they age, so we trim palms of any height safely, clearing the debris before it drops and leaving the palm clean and healthy.
City of Stirling Tree Regulations: What You Need to Know Before Any Work Begins
Tree work in Dianella is not always as simple as booking someone in. Before you touch a tree on or near your property, it helps to know where the City of Stirling's responsibility ends and yours begins. Most of Dianella sits within the City of Stirling, while a small eastern strip near Morley and Noranda falls under the City of Bayswater, so it is worth confirming which authority applies to your address.
The City of Stirling manages all street and verge trees, and residents, builders and contractors are not permitted to prune, remove or otherwise interfere with them. The City treats unauthorised pruning, damage, poisoning or removal of a street tree as vandalism, and penalties or prosecution may apply under the City of Stirling Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree needs attention, you lodge a maintenance request and the City carries out the work.
For trees on private property you are generally responsible for management, but there are exceptions worth checking. Under Local Planning Policy 6.17, the City runs a voluntary Significant Tree Register: an owner can nominate a mature tree, and if it meets the criteria an arborist report is prepared and a Tree Assessment Panel decides the listing. Development conditions, heritage listings or a registered tree can all mean approval is needed before work goes ahead. The City's Urban Forest Plan is steadily lifting canopy across Stirling, so protection of established trees is taken seriously.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs council approval before we quote, not after. If an application is required, we can walk you through it so your project keeps moving.

What Dianella Clients Say
Dianella Tree Service Questions, Answered
Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Dianella property?
No. Street and verge trees in Dianella are managed by the City of Stirling, and residents, builders and contractors are not permitted to prune, remove or interfere with them. The City treats unauthorised pruning, damage, poisoning or removal as vandalism, and penalties or prosecution may apply under the City of Stirling Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree needs work, lodge a maintenance request with the City, or call us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Dianella?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally the owner's responsibility. There are exceptions, though: if the tree is listed on the City of Stirling's Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, or your property is heritage-listed or subject to a development approval condition, approval may be needed first. Perth Arbor Services will check and advise you on what requires council approval before we quote, not after.
Is Dianella in the City of Stirling or the City of Bayswater?
Most of Dianella sits within the City of Stirling, which manages the majority of the suburb's street trees and its Significant Tree Register. A small eastern strip near Morley and Noranda falls under the City of Bayswater. If you are unsure which council governs your street, call us on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll confirm before any work is planned.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
Crude lopping can leave a tree weak, disease-prone and throwing out unstable regrowth, whereas proper crown reduction achieves the same clearance without the harm. Our arborists prune to Australian Standard AS4373 so the work benefits the tree rather than just tidying its appearance. Where a canopy genuinely needs significant reduction for safety or clearance, we assess it honestly and tell you which approach your tree needs.
Is Dianella affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Dianella falls within Perth's metropolitan Quarantine Area for PSHB, an invasive beetle that attacks a wide range of tree species. If you have susceptible species on your property, early assessment is recommended, and our arborists can assess and manage the risk accordingly.
