Trusted tree care across Nollamara

Nollamara was largely built out in the decades after the war, and many of its original quarter-acre blocks still carry the tall gums, jacarandas and fruit trees that were planted with them. As those blocks are subdivided and rebuilt, those mature trees are often the first thing at risk — and deciding what to keep, what to protect and what genuinely has to go is a job worth getting right.

Perth Arbor Services has handled tree removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance for Nollamara homeowners, builders and property investors since 2011, across the wider City of Stirling. One clear written quote is agreed before any work begins.

What we do

Tree services we offer in Nollamara

One degree-qualified team for every job, from a single backyard gum to a full subdivision clearance.

Tree Lopping

When a tree needs a serious reduction for clearance or safety, how it's cut matters. Careless lopping can leave a tree weaker and more hazardous than before, while proper reduction pruning achieves the same practical result without wrecking its long-term health. We'll tell you honestly which one your tree actually needs.

Tree Removal

Subdivision and knock-down rebuilds are common across Nollamara, and older trees often sit right where a new driveway, footing or second dwelling needs to go. We remove trees of any size safely on tight infill sites, working cleanly around fences and neighbours, with full clean-up included as standard.

Learn more →

Tree Pruning

Well-timed pruning keeps mature trees healthy and clear of powerlines, roofs and boundary fences on Nollamara's closely spaced blocks. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, so the work supports the tree's structure and future growth rather than simply cutting it back for the season.

Tree Risk Assessment

Big established trees on ageing post-war blocks can hide structural faults, decay or storm damage that's easy to miss. Our written risk assessments document a tree's condition and hazard potential — a clear record for homeowners, landlords and builders before a sale, a development application or the next windy winter.

Land Clearance

For subdivisions and new builds across Nollamara and the wider City of Stirling, we provide efficient lot clearance in line with council requirements — and we can flag any trees worth retaining before the machines arrive.

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 a new driveway, footing, lawn or second dwelling on a Nollamara infill site — grindings cleared away before we leave.

City of Stirling tree regulations: what you need to know

Tree work in Nollamara isn't as simple as it looks, especially on a block being prepared for redevelopment. Before touching any tree on or near your boundary, it pays to understand where council responsibility ends and yours begins.

The City of Stirling manages all street and verge trees on council land, and residents must not prune, remove or otherwise interfere with them. Unauthorised pruning, damage or removal of a street tree is treated as vandalism, with penalties under the City's Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. And if you want a verge tree removed to suit a crossover or development, that won't be approved simply to make way for work on private land.

Trees on your own property are generally yours to manage, but Nollamara sits within a council pushing hard to lift a tree canopy that runs lower than Perth's leafy western suburbs. The City runs a voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, and where a development application applies, retaining established trees can be a condition of approval — so it's worth checking before you commit to removing a mature tree.

Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs council approval before we quote, not after. If an application or notification is required, we can point you through it so it doesn't hold up your build.

Not sure whether your tree work needs City of Stirling 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

Nollamara tree service questions, answered

Can I prune or remove the verge tree outside my Nollamara property?

No. The City of Stirling manages all street and verge trees, and residents must not prune, remove or interfere with them. Unauthorised pruning, damage or removal is treated as vandalism, with penalties under the City's Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. A verge tree also won't be removed simply to make way for a crossover or development. 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 Nollamara?

Usually not, as trees on private land are generally yours to manage. But the City of Stirling is working to lift its tree canopy, runs a voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, and can make retaining established trees a condition of a development approval. On a block headed for subdivision it's worth checking first — Perth Arbor Services advises before we quote, not after.

What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?

Careless lopping can leave a tree weaker and more hazardous than before, while proper reduction pruning achieves the same clearance without wrecking its long-term health. Our arborists work to Australian Standard AS4373 and tell you honestly which approach your tree actually needs.

Can you clear a whole block for subdivision or a knock-down rebuild?

Yes. Lot clearance for subdivisions and new builds is a core part of what we do across Nollamara and the wider City of Stirling. We work efficiently in line with council requirements, flag any trees worth retaining before the machines arrive, and leave the block tidy and build-ready.

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

Yes. Nollamara 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 block, 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.
