Tree Removal in Maylands
Maylands curls around a peninsula in the Swan River just four and a half kilometres from the city, and the water defines it: the Maylands Foreshore Reserve and yacht club on one side, the par-71 Maylands Peninsula golf course wrapping the point, and Tranby House - built in 1839 and one of Perth's oldest buildings - still standing on the old Peninsula Farm. Back through the streets, the heritage-listed Brickworks and the Eighth Avenue cafe strip anchor a suburb of character homes shaded by big established trees. San's Tree Service works across Maylands, and knows the rules that protect that canopy.
The Bayswater Significant Tree Register
Maylands is in the City of Bayswater, which protects trees more closely than most:
- The City keeps a Significant Tree Register. Listed trees on private land can only be pruned or removed under set conditions - disease that can't be treated, or documented damage, for example.
- For everyday verge trees, the City allows residents to do minor pruning under its guideline, but expects them to be retained.
So before a big job, it's worth checking where your tree stands. We'll help you work out whether the register applies.
Riverside trees and what we do
The low ground near the foreshore grows paperbarks, flooded gums and other water-loving natives, while the heritage streets are full of mature shade trees. Damp ground can leave big trees less stable, and Perth's storms find the weak limbs - so regular deadwooding and pruning is the cheapest insurance. Where a tree is past saving we remove it in sections to protect the older, tighter blocks, and grind the stump after.
"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)

Frequently asked questions
Is my tree on the Bayswater Significant Tree Register?
Maylands is in the City of Bayswater, which keeps a Significant Tree Register - listed trees on private land can only be pruned or removed under set conditions. It's worth checking the register before planning work on a large or old tree; we can help you find out and advise on the process.
Can I prune the verge tree in front of my Maylands house?
Bayswater allows residents to do minor pruning of verge trees under its guideline, but it expects verge trees to be kept. For anything beyond a light trim, check with the City first - or let us advise.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house after a removal, taking them below ground so you can re-turf, pave or replant.
