Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across Floreat
Laid out as a planned garden suburb after the Second World War, Floreat was built around wide verges, generous blocks and a deliberate green framework that still defines it. Remnant tuarts, marris and jarrahs shade the streets between Perry Lakes Reserve and Bold Park, and that mature canopy is exactly what keeps a suburb like this feeling the way it does.
Perth Arbor Services has cared for those trees across Floreat and the Town of Cambridge since 2011, from towering natives on established gardens to the smaller ornamentals around Floreat Forum. Every job starts with one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

Tree Lopping
When a big native needs its crown reduced for light or clearance, the method matters as much as the outcome. Heavy-handed lopping can leave a mature tree stressed and structurally weaker, so we recommend the approach that keeps your tree sound, not just smaller.
Learn more →Tree Removal
Decades-old tuarts and gums on Floreat's larger blocks can outgrow their space, decline with age or lift paving and foundations. When removal is genuinely the right call, we take trees down at any size on tight garden-suburb frontages, and leave the site cleared and tidy.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Routine pruning to Australian Standard AS4373 that keeps Floreat's established canopy healthy, balanced and clear of rooflines, driveways and neighbouring gardens — each cut working with the tree's structure, not just reshaping it for a season.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
The old-growth trees that give Floreat its character can hide decay, deadwood and structural faults high in the canopy. Our written assessments record what we find and what it means — a clear, documented basis for any decision by homeowners, strata managers or the Town.
Learn more →Land Clearance
For the knock-down rebuilds now common across Floreat's generous lots, we provide efficient site clearance in line with Town of Cambridge requirements, and work to retain any established tree worth keeping wherever the build plans allow.
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 new garden-suburb build — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in Floreat isn't always as simple as it looks from the front verge. Before anything is pruned or removed on or near your boundary, it pays to know where the Town's responsibility ends and yours begins.
The Town of Cambridge manages more than 27,000 trees across its streets and parks, and residents can't plant, prune or remove verge trees themselves, whoever originally planted them. Any clearance work on a street tree must be carried out by a qualified arborist with the Town's written approval first, and damage to a Town tree — deliberate or otherwise — can lead to prosecution under the Town's Local Government and Public Property Local Law. If a street tree is a problem, you can lodge a request with the Town to inspect or prune it.
Trees 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 required before work begins.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs the Town's 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 Floreat clients say
Floreat tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Floreat property?
No. The Town of Cambridge manages more than 27,000 trees across its streets and parks, and residents can't plant, prune or remove verge trees themselves. Any clearance work on a street tree must be done by a qualified arborist with the Town's written approval, and damage to a Town tree can lead to prosecution under the Local Government and Public Property Local Law. If a street tree is a problem, you can lodge a request with the Town to inspect or prune it.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Floreat?
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 required. 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?
Heavy-handed lopping can leave a mature tree stressed and structurally weaker, while a properly planned crown reduction reaches the same result without the 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 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 new build, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Floreat affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Floreat 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 Perry Lakes, 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 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.
