Trusted tree care across Mosman Park

On the narrow neck of land where the Swan River almost meets the Indian Ocean, Mosman Park packs river frontage, ocean glimpses and the rise of Buckland Hill into one of Perth's most tightly held addresses. The old Norfolk Island pines, tuarts and mature garden trees that shade its grand homes have stood for generations, and keeping them sound takes an arborist who understands salt wind, steep blocks and heritage streetscapes.

Perth Arbor Services has provided professional tree care throughout Mosman Park and the wider Town of Mosman Park since 2011. Our degree-qualified arborists cover removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance, with one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

What we do

Tree services we offer in Mosman Park

One degree-qualified team for every job, from a single coastal palm to a full site clearance.

Tree Lopping

When a canopy needs serious reduction to protect a home or restore a view, the method matters. Poor lopping can leave a mature tree weakened and prone to failure, while a proper reduction achieves the same outcome and keeps the tree stable — and we'll tell you honestly which yours needs.

Learn more →

Tree Removal

Decades-old trees on compact, sloping blocks can outgrow their space, lifting limestone walls, cracking paving or crowding the boundary line. We remove trees of every size safely — including tight-access and over-structure jobs on Mosman Park's steeper terrain — and clean the site thoroughly.

Learn more →

Tree Pruning

Salt-laden sea air and coastal gusts put constant strain on canopies here. Careful pruning keeps trees balanced, clear of rooflines and powerlines, and better able to shrug off summer storms. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373 so every cut serves the tree's long-term health.

Tree Risk Assessment

Large, ageing trees are part of what gives Mosman Park its character, but exposure to river and ocean winds means hidden faults can turn into hazards fast. Our written assessments document defects, decay and failure potential — a clear record of due diligence for owners and strata managers.

Learn more →

Land Clearance

For renovations, subdivisions and new builds around the Town of Mosman Park, we handle site clearing efficiently and in line with the council's tree-protection rules, so your project starts on the right footing.

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, a limestone wall or a new build on Mosman Park's tight blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Town of Mosman Park tree regulations: what you need to know

Tree work in Mosman Park comes with more rules than many owners expect, and they've tightened recently. Knowing where the Town's responsibility ends and yours begins can save you a headache before a project starts.

The Town of Mosman Park manages all street, verge and park trees, and residents can't prune or remove them. If a verge tree is causing a problem, the Town asks that you contact them to arrange an inspection; street trees are only removed when they're dead, dying or diseased. Interfering with a council tree can attract penalties under the Town's local laws.

Private property is no longer a free hand either. Under the Town's Local Planning Policy 43 (Urban Greening), removing or significantly pruning a "regulated tree" now requires development approval first. A regulated tree is generally one with a canopy at least six metres wide, a height of eight metres or more, or a trunk circumference of 1.5 metres or greater. The Town also keeps a Significant Tree (Public Land) Register, and heritage listings or development conditions can add further requirements.

Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs approval before we quote, not after. If an application is required, we can help you work through it so your project isn't held up.

Not sure whether your tree work needs Town of Mosman Park approval? Call us first on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll give you a straight answer before anything is touched.

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

Mosman Park tree service questions, answered

Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Mosman Park property?

No. The Town of Mosman Park manages all street, verge and park trees, and residents can't prune or remove them. If a verge tree is causing a problem, contact the Town to arrange an inspection — street trees are only removed when they're dead, dying or diseased. Interfering with a council tree can attract penalties under the Town's local laws. Not sure who to call? Call us and we'll point you the right way.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Mosman Park?

Often, yes. Under the Town's Local Planning Policy 43 (Urban Greening), removing or significantly pruning a "regulated tree" requires development approval first — that's generally a tree with a canopy at least six metres wide, a height of eight metres or more, or a trunk circumference of 1.5 metres or greater. Heritage listings or development conditions can add further requirements. Perth Arbor Services checks and advises before we quote, not after.

What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?

Poor lopping can leave a mature tree weakened and prone to failure, while a proper reduction achieves the same outcome and keeps the tree stable. 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 wall or a new build, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.

Is Mosman Park affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?

Yes. Mosman Park 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.
