Tree Lopping & Pruning in Inglewood
Inglewood is one of Perth's most characterful older suburbs - the Art Deco and Federation streetscape along Beaufort Street is a heritage-protected strip of cafes, shops and murals, and from Sixth Avenue to Tenth the streets erupt into purple every November when the jacarandas flower, with Crawford Road near Beaufort especially famous for it. Those mature jacarandas and the big established trees behind them are part of Inglewood's identity, and looking after them properly is most of what San's Tree Service does here.
Pruning Inglewood's jacarandas and old trees
Inglewood's jacarandas and heritage-era trees are an asset worth protecting, and they reward careful work over heavy cutting:
- Light, well-timed pruning - keeping a jacaranda's shape and next year's flowers.
- Deadwooding - removing dead limbs from big old trees before they fall.
- Crown reduction - bringing an oversized tree back without wrecking its form.
Lopping done properly, not butchered
Heavy "lopping" - hacking branches to stubs - leaves weak, decay-prone regrowth and ruins the canopy these streets are loved for. We prune to natural growth points so the tree heals and keeps its shape. Our lopping vs pruning guide explains the difference, and when to prune trees in Perth covers timing for flowering trees like jacarandas.
"Needed a tree removed and got these guys recommended by my neighbour. True professionals, reasonable price and service time. Not much hassle, and they tidied up after themselves." — Neil T, Google review (San's is rated 5.0 from 23 Google reviews)
The City of Stirling rules
Inglewood is in the City of Stirling, and the verge (street) trees - jacarandas included - aren't yours to cut. Residents and builders can't prune street trees (you ask the City), and the City won't remove one to suit a development. Trees inside your boundary are your decision. We'll tell you which is which.

Frequently asked questions
Can you prune jacarandas without ruining them?
Yes - Inglewood's jacarandas are best pruned lightly and at the right time so they keep their shape and next season's flowers. We avoid heavy lopping, which leaves weak regrowth and spoils the canopy these streets are known for.
Can I prune the street tree on my Inglewood verge?
No - in the City of Stirling, residents and builders aren't permitted to prune street (verge) trees, including the jacarandas. You contact the City to request it. Trees inside your own boundary are your decision.
Do you grind the stump after a removal?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house, taking them below ground so you can re-turf or replant.
