For a few weeks each November, the streets around Beaufort Street turn a soft violet as Inglewood's jacarandas come into full bloom, a spectacle that draws visitors from right across Perth. That canopy is no accident: it is the result of a century of planting alongside the suburb's Art Deco and California bungalow homes, and it needs proper care to stay both beautiful and safe.
Perth Arbor Services looks after trees throughout Inglewood and the surrounding City of Stirling. Our degree-qualified arborists have handled tree removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance for local homeowners, businesses and strata groups since 2011, working seven days a week and backing every job with a free written quote and no pressure to go ahead.

What We Do in Inglewood
Tree Removal Inglewood
The mature gums, jacarandas and figs that shade Inglewood's older blocks can eventually outgrow a tight interwar lot, lifting paths, threatening additions or simply reaching the end of their safe life. We remove trees of any size cleanly, protecting fences, verges and heritage homes, and clear the site fully before we leave.
Tree Pruning Inglewood
Thoughtful pruning keeps a canopy healthy and shapely while clearing branches away from powerlines, roofs and bungalow verandahs. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, so the cuts support the tree's structure and long-term vigour rather than simply neatening it for a season.
Tree Lopping Inglewood
When a tree genuinely needs heavy reduction for clearance or safety, we are upfront about the method. Crude lopping can leave a tree weak and prone to failure, whereas a proper reduction achieves the same practical result without wrecking its health. We will tell you plainly which one your tree actually needs.
Tree Risk Assessment Inglewood
Inglewood's prized old trees are an asset, but an unchecked one becomes a liability when limbs overhang footpaths and neighbours. Our written assessments document structural defects, decay and hazard potential, giving homeowners, strata managers and the City a clear record of due diligence.
Land Clearance Inglewood
For infill blocks, renovations and new builds around Inglewood, we carry out efficient lot clearance in line with City of Stirling requirements, taking care to identify any tree that may be protected before machinery arrives.
Palm Trimming Inglewood
Palms feature in plenty of Inglewood's established front gardens, but neglected fronds and heavy seed heads turn messy and dangerous as they dry out. We trim palms at any height, stripping dead fronds and fruit before they drop and leaving each one tidy, balanced and healthy.
City of Stirling Tree Rules: What to Check Before Work Starts in Inglewood
Tree work in Inglewood comes with a few rules worth knowing, particularly given how much the suburb's identity rests on its street trees. Understanding where the City's responsibility sits and where yours begins will save you time and grief.
The City of Stirling manages the street and verge trees across Inglewood. Residents cannot prune, remove or otherwise interfere with a street tree without the City's approval, and unauthorised removal or damage is treated as vandalism, with penalties available under the City of Stirling Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. Holding a verge permit does not, on its own, give you any right to touch the street tree.
Trees on private land are generally yours to manage. However, if a tree is entered on the City's Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, it can only be removed with the approval of the City's Tree Assessment Panel, and development approvals, subdivision conditions or a heritage listing may add further requirements before work can begin.
Perth Arbor Services checks what needs approval before we quote, not afterwards. If an application is required, we can walk you through it so your project keeps moving.
Unsure whether your Inglewood tree work needs City of Stirling approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we will give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What Inglewood Clients Say
Inglewood Tree Service Questions, Answered
Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Inglewood home?
No. Street and verge trees in Inglewood are managed by the City of Stirling, and residents cannot prune, remove or interfere with them without the City's approval. Unauthorised removal or damage is treated as vandalism and penalties may apply under the City of Stirling Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree is causing you trouble, contact the City or call us and we will point you the right way.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Inglewood?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally your responsibility. The exception is a tree listed on the City of Stirling's Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, which can only be removed with the approval of the City's Tree Assessment Panel. Heritage listings and development or subdivision conditions can also add requirements. Perth Arbor Services checks all of this before we quote, not after.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
Crude lopping can leave a tree weak, unbalanced and prone to failure, while proper pruning achieves the same practical result without harming its long-term health. Our arborists prune to Australian Standard AS4373, and where a tree genuinely needs heavy reduction for safety or clearance we assess the right method honestly and tell you plainly which one applies.
Is Inglewood affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Inglewood falls within Perth's metropolitan Quarantine Area for the polyphagous shot-hole borer, an invasive beetle that attacks a wide range of tree species. If you have susceptible trees on your property, early assessment is recommended, and our arborists can assess and manage the risk accordingly.
