Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across Maylands
Art Deco flats, Federation villas and brick workers' cottages sit close together across Maylands, and the trees that shade them have often stood there far longer than the current owners. On a peninsula that curves into the Swan River, those mature canopies define the streetscape as much as the architecture does — which is exactly why they deserve someone who understands them.
Perth Arbor Services has provided professional tree care throughout Maylands and the wider City of Bayswater since 2011, from the Eighth Avenue strip to the quiet riverside streets. Our degree-qualified arborists agree one clear written quote before any work begins.

Tree Lopping
People often ask us to lop a tree back hard, but heavy topping can leave it weaker, uglier and more dangerous than before. We explain the honest difference between crude lopping and a proper reduction that gives you the same clearance, and recommend only what genuinely suits your tree.
Learn more →Tree Removal
On the tight blocks and rear laneways typical of Maylands, a failing tree near a heritage cottage or a shared boundary needs careful rigging rather than brute force. We remove trees of every size cleanly, protecting fences, roofs and neighbouring gardens, and clear every last bit of debris.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
The jacarandas, plane trees and established gums lining Maylands streets need pruning that keeps them clear of powerlines, gutters and heritage rooflines without spoiling their form. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, supporting the tree's structure and long-term health.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
Many Maylands gardens hold decades-old trees that have never been formally checked. Our written risk assessments identify decay, structural defects and hazard potential — a documented record of due diligence that owners, strata managers and heritage-property owners can rely on and act on.
Learn more →Land Clearance
With apartment and townhouse infill steadily reshaping Maylands, we handle site and lot clearance for builders and developers, working in line with City of Bayswater requirements and any approvals that apply before a blade touches a trunk.
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 Maylands' tight blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in Maylands comes with rules that catch a lot of residents out. Before you touch a tree on your verge, or a notable one in your own garden, it's worth knowing where the City's authority sits and where yours does.
The City of Bayswater manages all street and verge trees. Residents may carry out only minor pruning of the verge tree outside their home, and anything beyond that needs written authorisation from the City. You can't remove a street tree yourself under any circumstances; only the City does that. Damaging or vandalising a street tree can attract an infringement notice under the City's local laws, and where a tree is lost the City can also recover the cost of removal, replacement trees and years of follow-up maintenance.
Trees on private property are generally yours to manage, but there's an important exception in Bayswater. The City keeps a Significant Tree Register covering both public and private land, and a listed tree, a heritage-listed property or a development-approval condition can all mean approval is required before any work proceeds.
Perth Arbor Services checks what needs council approval before we quote, not after. If an application is needed we can talk you through it so it doesn't hold up your plans.
Not sure whether your tree work needs City of Bayswater approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is cut.

What Maylands clients say
Maylands tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Maylands home?
Only in a limited way. The City of Bayswater manages all street and verge trees; you may carry out minor pruning of the verge tree outside your home, but anything beyond that needs the City's written authorisation, and you can't remove a street tree yourself under any circumstances. Damaging a street tree can attract an infringement notice, and where a tree is lost the City can recover the cost of removal, replacement and follow-up maintenance. 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 Maylands?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally yours to manage. The important exception is the City's Significant Tree Register, which covers public and private land — a listed tree, a heritage-listed property or a development-approval condition can all mean approval is required first. 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 can leave a tree weaker, uglier and more dangerous than before, while a proper reduction gives you the same clearance without the harm. Our arborists work to Australian Standard AS4373 so every cut benefits the tree's structure, and we recommend only the approach that genuinely suits your tree.
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 Maylands affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Maylands 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.
