One degree-qualified team for every job, from a single backyard gum to a full cleared lot.
Tree Lopping
When a canopy genuinely needs cutting back for clearance or safety, how it's done matters. Crude lopping can leave a tree weaker and prone to unstable regrowth, while a properly planned reduction reaches the same result without the damage. We'll tell you honestly which approach your tree actually needs.
Learn more →Tree Removal
Yokine's generous post-war blocks have given decades for gums, pines and other large trees to reach full size, and some eventually outgrow the space or begin lifting driveways and older brick footings. We remove trees of every size safely, working carefully around established gardens, and every job includes full site clean-up.
Learn more →Tree Pruning
Thoughtful pruning keeps mature trees healthy and safely clear of powerlines, rooflines and fences shared with neighbours. We prune to Australian Standard AS4373, so the work supports the tree's long-term structure and health rather than simply neatening its shape for the season.
Learn more →Tree Risk Assessment
The tall, ageing trees that give Yokine its character can also hide structural weakness, decay or disease that's easy to miss from the ground. Our written risk assessments document faults and hazard potential, giving homeowners, strata managers and the City a clear record of due diligence.
Learn more →Land Clearance
As older Yokine blocks are subdivided or rebuilt, we provide efficient lot clearance for builders and owners, carried out in line with City of Stirling requirements and any tree-retention conditions on the approval.
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 Yokine's established mid-century blocks — grindings cleared away before we leave.

Tree work in Yokine isn't simply a matter of picking up a saw. Before you touch any tree on or near your boundary, it helps to know where the City's responsibility ends and yours begins.
The City of Stirling manages the street and verge trees across its suburbs, planting thousands each year as part of its Urban Forest Plan. Residents must not prune, remove, poison or otherwise interfere with a street tree, and doing so without written authorisation is treated as vandalism, with penalties available under the City's Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree is a problem, the City is the one to contact.
Trees on private property are generally yours to manage, but not always without conditions. If your block is affected by a development approval, a tree-retention requirement, or a tree entered on the City's voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, extra approval may be needed before work begins.
Perth Arbor Services will tell you what needs council approval before we quote, not after. Where an application is required, we can walk you through it so it doesn't hold up your project.
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.

What Yokine clients say
Yokine tree service questions, answered
Can I prune or remove a verge tree outside my Yokine property?
No. The City of Stirling manages all street and verge trees, and residents must not prune, remove, poison or interfere with them. Doing so without written authorisation is treated as vandalism, with penalties available under the City's Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law 2009. If a verge tree is a problem, the City is the one to contact — 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 Yokine?
Usually not, as trees on private land are generally yours to manage. But if your block is affected by a development approval, a tree-retention requirement, or a tree on the City's voluntary Significant Tree Register under Local Planning Policy 6.17, extra approval may be needed before work begins. Perth Arbor Services checks and advises before we quote, not after.
What is the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning?
Crude lopping can leave a tree weaker and prone to unstable regrowth, while a properly planned reduction reaches the same clearance without the damage. Our arborists work to Australian Standard AS4373 and 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, lawn or a new build, and we clear away the grindings before we leave.
Is Yokine affected by the polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB)?
Yes. Yokine 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.
