Trusted tree care across Jolimont

Jolimont is one of the smallest suburbs in Perth — a tightly held pocket of barely a square kilometre tucked between the railway line and Subiaco. What it lacks in size it makes up for in canopy: quiet older streets, character homes on generous blocks, and a stock of mature trees that has been settling into the sandy coastal plain for decades.

Perth Arbor Services has looked after those trees across Jolimont and the wider Town of Cambridge since 2011. Our degree-qualified arborists handle removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance, with one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

What we do

Tree services we offer in Jolimont

One degree-qualified team for every job, from a single overgrown backyard tree to full site clearance ahead of a rebuild.

Tree Lopping

People often ask us to lop a tree right back, but heavy topping usually leaves it weaker and prone to unstable regrowth. We'll explain where a proper reduction pruning gets you the clearance you're after without harming the tree — and where lopping really is the only option left.

Tree Removal

Older suburbs like Jolimont are full of trees planted long before today's homes were extended or rebuilt, and some now sit too close to footings, sewer lines and boundaries to keep safely. When removal is genuinely the right call, we take the tree down cleanly on tight blocks and clear every bit of debris.

Learn more →

Tree Pruning

On Jolimont's narrow streets, canopies quickly grow into powerlines, gutters and the fence line next door. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, thinning and shaping to protect the tree's structure and long-term health, not just cutting back what's in the way.

Tree Risk Assessment

The mature gums and established shade trees that give Jolimont its character can also hide structural weakness, decay or storm damage. Our written assessments document a tree's condition in detail — a clear record for homeowners, strata managers and owners before deciding what work, if any, is needed.

Land Clearance

With so much of Jolimont being renovated, subdivided or rebuilt, we provide tidy site clearance for infill blocks and new builds, carried out in line with the Town of Cambridge's requirements for the trees involved.

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 build on Jolimont's tight blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Before any work begins

Town of Cambridge tree rules: what to check before any work starts

Not every tree near your Jolimont home is yours to touch. Before you prune or remove anything, it's worth being clear about which trees the Town of Cambridge controls and which fall to you.

The Town of Cambridge is responsible for every tree on its street verges, and it manages more than 27,000 of them across the district. Residents can't plant, prune or remove a verge tree themselves, no matter who put it there. Damage to a Town tree, whether deliberate or accidental, can be prosecuted under the Town's Local Government and Public Property Local Law, so penalties may apply.

Trees growing inside your own boundary are generally yours to manage. That said, a development-approval condition, a heritage listing or a planning requirement tied to your block can change what's allowed, so it's always worth confirming before the saw comes out.

Perth Arbor Services checks all of this before we quote, not after. If your job needs the Town's sign-off, we'll tell you up front and help you sort out what's required so nothing stalls halfway through.

Unsure whether your job needs Town of Cambridge approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

Can highly recommend Perth Arbor Services. The guys were very friendly, professional and did a magnificent job on our very tall palm trees and the trimming of the other tree was 1st Class. A special shout out to Rowan who came out for an onsite quote. Highly experienced in his knowledge and we will definitely be calling upon Perth Arbor Services in the future! Well done ๐Ÿ‘

So pleased with the quality service we recieved from Rowan and his team. The council asked us for an arborist report for a Tree Growth Zone smaller than their mandated dimensions. Contacted Rowan and he helped us with the letter straight away. The fee was also very resoanable (fraction of the other quote I had). Highly recommended.

Saw one of your vehicles rego ending in 388 driving recklessly in traffic and driving in the emergency lane. Not great advertising when you have the company logo on the vehicle...

The guys (and gal) from Perth Arbor Services were excellent. Chris came to our property to view two large trees and provide a quote. I was immediately impressed at the knowledge and advice he provided. The team turned up on the agreed day and time and were thoroughly professional throughout the process. After, they did a great job of tidying up - very pleased and have no problem providing a five star rating for their service

Thank you so much to the team at Perth Arbor Services. What a fantastic job. Polite, efficient and concerned to get the right balance for me the client, when it came to the pruning of some of our existing trees. The result was exactly what I wanted and the clean up afterwards...perfect! I would highly recommend them.

I required quite a lot of work to be undertaken in my back garden, in order to correct a couple of small issues and to tidy it up, as I intend to sell soon. I was visited by Rowan who was very good in explaining how the garden had got to its current state and what was needed to get it to the state that I wanted. A date was agreed with Michael and Shamus and his group turned up exactly at the agreed time. They worked exceptionally hard and undertook the work that created the garden that I wanted. I was impressed that Rowan and Shamus had obviously discussed what was required and how to undertake it. I was soooo impressed that I wanted to give 10 stars, but the upper limit was only 5! If anyone that I know needs this sort of assistance then I will be passing Perth Arbor Services contact details to them.

Good to know

Jolimont tree service questions, answered

Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Jolimont home?

No. The Town of Cambridge is responsible for every tree on its street verges — more than 27,000 across the district — and residents can't plant, prune or remove a verge tree themselves, no matter who put it there. Damage to a Town tree, deliberate or accidental, can be prosecuted under the Town's Local Government and Public Property Local Law. If a verge tree is a problem, contact 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 Jolimont?

Usually not, as trees inside your own boundary are generally yours to manage. That said, a development-approval condition, a heritage listing or a planning requirement tied to your block can change what's allowed. 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 topping usually leaves a tree weaker and prone to unstable regrowth, while a proper reduction pruning gets you the clearance you're after without harming the tree. 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 — and where lopping really is the only option left.

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 Jolimont affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?

Yes. Jolimont 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 host species 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.
