Trusted tree care across Leederville
Leederville packs a lot into a small inner-city footprint: the Oxford Street cafe and entertainment strip, Leederville Oval, and quiet side streets of Federation cottages and character homes shaded by mature trees. On lots this tight, close to the CBD, tree work needs a careful, qualified hand.
Perth Arbor Services has looked after trees across Leederville and the wider City of Vincent 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.

Tree Lopping
When a tree needs a real size reduction for clearance or safety, how it's cut matters. Heavy lopping can leave a tree weaker and more hazardous, while a planned reduction reaches the same result without the harm — and we'll tell you plainly which yours needs.
Learn more →Tree Removal
We treat removal as a last resort, but when a tree becomes a hazard, outgrows a tight Leederville lot or is close to failing, we take it down safely between close-set homes and clear the site completely.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Well-timed pruning clears deadwood, stimulates healthy growth and keeps limbs off roofs, powerlines and the fence next door. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373 so every cut supports the tree's structure and long-term health.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
Worried about an ageing tree near the house? Our written risk assessments check for structural faults, decay and hazard potential, and tell you plainly whether a tree is a future risk to your property — a clear record for owners and strata managers.
Learn more →Land Clearance
Preparing a Leederville block for a build or extension? We clear trees, shrubs and undergrowth efficiently, in line with City of Vincent requirements, and leave the site ready for the next stage.
Learn more →Stump Grinding
Got a stump getting in the way? We grind stumps down below ground level, wherever they sit and whatever the size, so the area is functional again and won't throw up regrowth — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in Leederville isn't only about the tree in front of you. On these narrow inner-city verges and close-packed lots, it pays to know where council responsibility ends and yours begins before anyone starts cutting.
The City of Vincent manages the roughly 11,000 street trees on its verges and road reserves. Residents can't prune, remove or otherwise interfere with a street or verge tree without the City's approval first, and works on or beside the verge are covered by the City's Local Government Property Local Law, under which penalties may apply for damaging or removing a council tree.
For trees on private property you're generally responsible for management. However, if a tree is listed on the City's Trees of Significance Inventory, planning approval will usually be needed before its removal or significant pruning, and heritage listings or development-approval conditions can add their own requirements.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs council approval before we quote, not after. If an application is required, we can guide you through what's involved so it doesn't hold up your project.
Not sure whether your tree work needs City of Vincent approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is touched.

What Leederville clients say
Leederville tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Leederville property?
No. The City of Vincent manages the roughly 11,000 street trees on its verges and road reserves, and residents can't prune, remove or interfere with a street or verge tree without the City's approval first. Works on or beside the verge are covered by the City's Local Government Property Local Law, under which penalties may apply for damaging or removing a council tree. If a verge tree is 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 Leederville?
Usually not, as trees on private property are generally yours to manage. The exception is where a tree is listed on the City's Trees of Significance Inventory, in which case planning approval will usually be needed before removal or significant pruning — and heritage listings or development-approval conditions can add their own requirements. 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 lopping can leave a tree weaker and more hazardous, while proper reduction pruning reaches the same practical 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 actually 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, a courtyard or a new build, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Leederville affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Leederville 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 response 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.
