About us
We are AQF-qualified, fully insured arborists with deep knowledge of City of Wanneroo council regulations. We use chainsaws, stump grinders, and wood chippers for standard removals, with cranes and elevated work platforms (EWPs) brought in for taller trees or tight semi-rural access, and rigging/sectional dismantling techniques applied where a tree can’t be safely felled in one piece.
We offer free onsite quotes across Wanneroo and the surrounding northern suburbs, with 24/7 emergency response for storm-damaged trees.
What we do
Twelve tree services for homes, strata and businesses. Every job is assessed onsite before we quote.
Core serviceWe provide professional tree removal in Wanneroo, safely removing large, dead, damaged and hazardous trees from residential and commercial properties. Our experienced arborists use professional rigging techniques, chainsaws, elevated work platforms, wood chippers and stump grinders to carefully dismantle and remove trees while minimising the risk of damage to nearby homes and other structures.
More about tree removal in Wanneroo
Keep your trees healthy, attractive and safely maintained with professional tree trimming in Wanneroo. Our skilled team uses precision pruning techniques, professional climbing and rigging equipment, pole saws and elevated work platforms to remove overgrown, damaged branches, improve canopy structure and maintain safe clearance from surrounding objects.
Our professional tree loppers in Wanneroo focus on reducing the size or spread of a tree by removing larger limbs and sections of the canopy. Unlike tree pruning, which generally involves more selective removal of smaller branches to improve tree health, structure and appearance, lopping is typically used for more substantial canopy reduction.
Tree pruning involves selectively removing dead, damaged, diseased or poorly positioned branches to improve a tree’s health, structure, safety and appearance. Unlike tree lopping, which typically removes larger sections to substantially reduce a tree’s size, pruning uses more precise cuts and techniques with professional pruning saws, pole saws, climbing equipment and elevated work platforms.
Tree felling in Wanneroo involves safely bringing down an entire tree using a planned and controlled approach based on its size, lean, condition and surrounding obstacles. Depending on the site, we may use directional felling cuts, sectional dismantling, climbing and rigging systems, ropes, chainsaws and elevated work platforms to control how the tree or individual sections are lowered.
After a tree is removed, the stump remains a hazard and an obstacle for landscaping or construction. Using powerful commercial stump grinders, we progressively grind the stump and major surface roots below ground level, with options for stump debris and green waste removal to leave the area clean and ready for landscaping, turf or replanting.
Wanneroo Tree Removal Services provides professional palm tree removal, safely removing unwanted, dead and hazardous palms from residential and commercial properties throughout Perth’s northern suburbs. Our palm removal service can include palm tree cutting, stump grinding and green waste removal, leaving your property clean, safe and ready to use.
Perth’s storm season regularly produces fallen branches, split trunks, and uprooted trees that create immediate safety risks. We operate a 24/7 emergency call-out service to respond to storm-damaged trees across Wanneroo, Clarkson, Butler, and surrounding suburbs.
We safely address trees that are unstable, structurally weakened, storm-damaged or diseased. After assessing the tree and surrounding hazards, we use sectional dismantling, controlled rigging, climbing techniques, chainsaws and elevated work platforms to lower dangerous limbs and tree sections safely, helping protect nearby homes, vehicles and fences.
Our residential land clearing service in Wanneroo prepares backyards, vacant blocks and sections for new homes, extensions, landscaping, property improvements and more. We safely remove unwanted trees, shrubs, vegetation, stumps and green waste, using chainsaws, stump grinders, wood chippers and other specialised land clearing equipment.
We provide commercial tree removal services in Wanneroo for business premises, strata properties, industrial sites, schools, development sites and commercial facilities. We use sectional dismantling, controlled rigging and elevated work platforms, and can remove large or hazardous trees while carefully managing access, surrounding buildings, vehicles and pedestrians.
Our commercial tree maintenance service in Wanneroo helps businesses, strata properties, schools, industrial sites and managed facilities keep their trees safe, healthy and well maintained throughout the year. Services can include scheduled tree pruning, canopy management, deadwood removal, branch clearance and hazardous limb removal.
How it works
Before any tree is touched, we conduct a detailed onsite assessment to identify risks, structural issues, and site constraints. This includes evaluating proximity to powerlines, fences, buildings, and neighbouring properties. These are all very common challenges on Wanneroo’s residential blocks.
We assess:
Our free onsite quotes are transparent and based on this assessment, so there are no hidden costs once work begins.
We use precision rigging and, where necessary, crane-assisted removal for large or hazardous trees on confined residential blocks. This controls how sections of the tree are lowered, preventing damage to surrounding structures.
Key equipment and methods we use:
Our arborists are trained to adapt their approach to each specific site, whether it’s a backyard palm tree or a large rural acreage job.
Once the tree is down, we don’t leave the job half-done. Every removal includes complete branch chipping, timber removal, and thorough ground raking as part of our zero mess site clean guarantee. Timber and green waste are managed responsibly:
This approach means your property is left clean, safe, and ready for whatever comes next.
Price guide
Tree height and trunk diameter are the two biggest cost drivers. A small ornamental tree under 5 metres typically costs less to remove than a mature Tuart or Flooded Gum, which can reach 20–30 metres and require significantly more labour and equipment. Species matters too. Hardwoods like Jarrah and Marri are denser and slower to cut through, increasing labour time. Palms have fibrous trunks that require different cutting techniques.
Tight residential blocks in Wanneroo are common, and restricted access adds cost. If our crew cannot get machinery directly to the tree, manual rigging or crane work is required, which takes more time and specialist equipment. Key access factors that affect pricing include:
Removing a large tree in an open paddock costs less than the same tree wedged against a house in a suburban backyard.
We provide free onsite quotes across Wanneroo and the northern suburbs. A written, itemised quote should clearly separate labour, equipment, stump grinding, and site clean-up costs.
Ask specifically whether the quote includes:
We include all of these as standard. Hidden fees after the fact are a red flag when comparing quotes from different providers. Always confirm the arborist carries public liability insurance before work begins.
| Tree Size | Approximate Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Small (under 5m) | $300 – $600 |
| Medium (5–10m) | $600 – $1,200 |
| Large (10–20m) | $1,200 – $2,500+ |
| Very Large (20m+) | $2,500 – $5,000+ |
These are indicative figures only. An onsite assessment gives the most accurate number.

The City of Wanneroo requires property owners to obtain approval before removing most significant trees. This applies to trees that meet certain size thresholds or are located within development sites, conservation areas, or near waterways.
Key triggers for a removal permit include:
Street trees are owned by the City of Wanneroo. Residents must contact the council directly, and the City will only act on trees assessed as dead, dying, or dangerous. We have in-depth knowledge of these local rules and can advise you accurately before any work begins.
Certain tree species in Wanneroo fall under State Government protection through the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, separate from local council rules. Removing or damaging a listed threatened species, even on private land, requires a permit from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
Commonly protected species relevant to Perth’s northern suburbs include:
| Species | Protection Level |
|---|---|
| Tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala) | Threatened ecological community |
| Banksia woodland trees | State-listed priority flora |
| Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo habitat trees | Federal EPBC Act protection |
Our certified arborists can identify whether a tree on your property carries any protected status before you proceed.
Many City of Wanneroo permit applications require a formal arborist report prepared by an AQF Level 5-qualified arborist. The report must assess the tree’s health, structure, risk rating, and whether removal is justified.
A compliant report typically includes:
We prepare arborist reports that meet council submission standards, reducing the likelihood of rejection or requests for additional information.
Wanneroo’s urban tree population includes a mix of native eucalypts, banksias, and introduced species, many of which are protected under City of Wanneroo regulations. Our local expertise means we understand exactly how these rules apply to your property.
Wanneroo sits within the Swan Coastal Plain, a region known for its diverse native vegetation. The most commonly encountered species across residential and rural properties include:
Many of these trees grow to considerable size, sometimes requiring precision rigging for safe removal on confined suburban lots.
The City of Wanneroo enforces a Local Planning Policy that restricts the removal of certain native trees without a development approval or written consent. Tuart woodland, in particular, is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community under federal legislation. Before any removal work begins, we assess whether a tree is subject to council protection. We have in-depth knowledge of these local regulations and can identify when a permit is required.

Tree removal removes the entire tree, while tree lopping substantially reduces branches or canopy size. Tree pruning uses selective cuts to improve the tree’s health, structure, clearance and appearance.
Yes. Large and hazardous trees can be dismantled using techniques such as sectional removal, controlled rigging and elevated work platforms to minimise risks to homes, fences and surrounding property.
Stump grinding can be completed after the tree has been removed to eliminate the remaining stump. Commercial stump grinders reduce the stump below ground level so the area can be landscaped, turfed or replanted.
Branches and smaller material can be processed using a wood chipper, while logs and other green waste can be removed from the property. Site clean-up can be included as part of the tree removal service.
Western Australian rules may allow you to deal with branches or roots that cross your property boundary, but there are limitations and exceptions. Check City of Wanneroo guidance and applicable WA requirements before cutting or removing anything.
