Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an arborist and a tree lopper?
An arborist is a qualified tree professional trained in tree biology, health and safe work practices, while 'tree lopper' is a general term for anyone who cuts trees. Our team works to proper arboricultural standards, so your trees are handled safely and stay healthy.
How much does tree removal cost in Perth?
Most jobs fall between $800 and $6,000, depending on the tree's height, species, access and how close it is to buildings or power lines. A small backyard tree sits at the lower end; a large gum beside the house is at the upper end. We give a free, fixed quote after a quick on-site look.
What's the difference between lopping and pruning?
Pruning is selective, targeted cutting that keeps a tree healthy and well-shaped. Old-style lopping - cutting branches back to stubs - can damage a tree and cause weak, unsafe regrowth. We prune to recognised standards rather than simply topping trees.
Do you remove the green waste?
Yes. We chip the branches and cart away the debris, leaving your property clean and tidy. If you'd prefer to keep the mulch for your garden beds, just let us know and we'll leave it for you.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree?
Some Perth councils protect significant or native trees and require approval before removal. We can advise whether your tree is likely affected before any work begins.
Are you fully insured, and do you offer free quotes?
Yes - all of our tree work is fully insured, and every quote is free and obligation-free. Call (08) 9560 6103 for a quote anywhere across the Perth metro.
