Tree Removal in Kelmscott
Kelmscott sits about 23 kilometres south-east of the city, right where the flat Canning River plain meets the foot of the Darling Scarp - the suburb is actually split by the Canning River, with level ground to the west and the land rising into scarp woodland to the east. It's a green, semi-rural-feeling suburb, with the famous Araluen Botanic Park up in the hills behind it and Lloyd Hughes Park's marri-and-wandoo bushland running along a Canning River tributary. That mix of riverflat and forest means a real range of tree work, and San's Tree Service covers all of it across Kelmscott.
Two kinds of country, two kinds of tree work
Kelmscott's split between plain and scarp shows in its trees. On the river flats you'll find big shade gums and exotics in established gardens; on the scarp side, marri and wandoo woodland on sloping blocks where bushfire fuel and overhanging limbs near the house become a real concern. We handle both - removals, crown reductions, deadwooding and hazard work - taking large trees down in sections and grinding the stumps after.
The City of Armadale rules
Kelmscott is in the City of Armadale, which treats removing a verge or reserve tree as a last resort:
- The City will only remove a street tree that's dead, or where there's clear evidence of ongoing damage or danger, after a risk assessment - and won't remove a healthy tree just because it's near infrastructure.
- A replacement tree is usually planted.
Trees inside your own boundary are your decision, but on bush blocks near the scarp it's worth checking for any native-vegetation rules first. We can help you work it out.
"Highly recommended for tree removal in a safe, efficient and professional manner. A very tall tree removed from my house - very happy with the price and quality of the work." — lo kelly, Google review (San's is rated 5.0 from 23 Google reviews)

Can you handle large trees on the scarp side of Kelmscott?
Yes - east of the Canning River, Kelmscott rises into the Darling Scarp, with marri and wandoo woodland on sloping blocks. We have the gear and technique to remove big hills trees safely in sections and grind the stumps after.
