Tree Removal in Greenwood
Greenwood is a leafy northern-suburbs pocket built into original banksia woodland - Hawker Park, with its bushland and oval on Hawker Avenue, sits at its centre, and the 60 hectares of remnant native vegetation at neighbouring Warwick Bushland are just over the border. The suburb grew up around the Greenwood and Warwick stations on the northern line, with established homes shaded by mature trees on the grey, sandy soil that grows banksia, jarrah and tuart. When one of those trees needs removing or cutting back, San's Tree Service handles it across Greenwood.
Removals and pruning we do in Greenwood
Most Greenwood callouts are everyday suburban jobs: taking out a dead, diseased or over-large tree, reducing one that's crowding the house or gutters, deadwooding the big established trees, and grinding the stumps afterwards. On tighter blocks we take trees down in sections rather than felling them, protecting the house, fences and gardens, and we chip or cart away the green waste.
Banksia-woodland trees and sandy soil
Greenwood's deep, sandy ground grows banksia, jarrah and tuart fast and free-draining, and those mature trees drop limbs in summer heat and winter storms - so regular deadwooding and pruning is the cheapest way to keep them safe. Natives don't reshoot well from heavy cuts, so how the work is done matters.
The City of Joondalup rules
Greenwood is in the City of Joondalup, which protects its street trees firmly:
- Residents and developers aren't permitted to remove or maintain street (verge) trees - it's an offence and can be prosecuted.
- The City only removes a street tree that's dead, dying, diseased or structurally unsound - not for views, allergies or shade on solar panels.
Trees inside your own boundary are your decision. We'll confirm which applies before any work.
