Perth's trees
Trusted tree care across Wembley Downs
Wembley Downs sits high on the rise between Bold Park and the coast — one of Perth's genuinely elevated suburbs, where gently hilly streets catch ocean glimpses over rooftops framed by tuarts, marri and mature garden canopy. That leafy, tightly held character carries a real maintenance load, and looking after it safely takes proper equipment and a qualified crew.
Perth Arbor Services has helped Wembley Downs homeowners, schools, strata groups and businesses since 2011, across the wider City of Stirling — with removal, pruning, lopping and land clearance, and one clear written quote agreed before any work begins.

One degree-qualified team for every job, from a single backyard gum to a full development-site clearance.
Tree Lopping
When a canopy genuinely needs reducing for safety or clearance, we weigh the right method honestly. There's a real difference between lopping that harms a tree's long-term health and correct reduction that achieves the same practical outcome. We'll always tell you which one your tree actually needs.
Learn more →Tree Removal
The suburb's generous blocks and decades-old plantings mean many gardens hold large tuarts, gums and pines whose roots reach towards footings, retaining walls and the sloping driveways common on these hilly streets. We remove trees of every size safely on tight or terraced sites, with full clean-up included as standard.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Coastal winds off the nearby shoreline push growth hard, so regular pruning keeps canopies balanced and clear of powerlines, rooflines and boundaries. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, working with the tree's structure so the result lasts rather than simply tidying it for a season.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
Established trees give Wembley Downs its shade and its value, but ageing limbs and coastal exposure bring real liability when left unchecked. Our written assessments document structural faults, disease and hazard potential, giving homeowners, schools and strata managers a clear record of due diligence.
Learn more →Land Clearance
For renovations, knock-down rebuilds and new builds across the City of Stirling, we provide efficient lot clearance carried out in line with the council's tree and development requirements — so protected trees are identified before anything comes down.
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 retaining wall or a new garden on Wembley Downs' terraced blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in Wembley Downs isn't always as simple as it looks. Before you touch any tree on or near your property, it helps to know where the City of Stirling's responsibility ends and yours begins.
The City of Stirling manages all street and verge trees across the suburb. Residents can't prune, remove or interfere with a street tree without the City's written authorisation, and unauthorised pruning, poisoning or removal is treated as vandalism. Penalties may apply under the City of Stirling Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009, and where a removal is approved the property owner is generally required to cover the full cost of removing and replacing the tree.
Trees on private property are usually yours to manage. However, if a tree is entered on the City's voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, or your property is heritage-listed or subject to a development-approval condition, additional approval may be needed before work can start. The City's Urban Forest Plan, which sees thousands of trees planted on verges and reserves each year, reflects how seriously canopy is taken here.
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 it so the process doesn't hold up your project.

What Wembley Downs clients say
Wembley Downs tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Wembley Downs property?
No. The City of Stirling manages all street and verge trees, and residents can't prune, remove or interfere with them without the City's written authorisation. Unauthorised pruning, poisoning or removal is treated as vandalism, with penalties under the Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009 — and where a removal is approved, the property owner generally covers the full cost of removing and replacing the tree. Call us and we'll point you the right way.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree on my own property in Wembley Downs?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally yours to manage. But if a tree is on the City's voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, or your property is heritage-listed or subject to a development-approval condition, additional approval may be needed before work can start. Perth Arbor Services checks and advises before we quote, not after.
Do you handle sloping, terraced and coastal-exposed blocks?
Yes — it's much of what we do in Wembley Downs. The hilly streets between Bold Park and the coast bring sloping driveways, retaining walls and wind-exposed gardens, and we bring the right rigging and equipment to remove and prune trees safely on tight or terraced sites, with full clean-up included.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
Lopping (heavy topping) can harm a tree's long-term health and trigger unstable regrowth, while correct reduction pruning reaches the same practical outcome without the damage. Our arborists work to Australian Standard AS4373 and always tell you which approach your tree actually needs.
Is Wembley Downs affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Wembley Downs 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 — important on wind-exposed coastal blocks. Call us on (08) 9227 0010 and we'll get a qualified arborist out to you as quickly as possible.
