Tree Removal in Melville
Melville is the namesake suburb of the City of Melville, strung along Canning Highway between the Swan and Canning rivers in Perth's leafy south. Just to the north, the Alfred Cove foreshore and its mudflats draw migratory birds all the way from Siberia, while the bushland of Wireless Hill rises nearby - so the suburb sits in genuinely green, river-fringed country on the Spearwood dune sands. Those established gardens hold a lot of big, mature trees, and San's Tree Service does the removal, pruning and clean-up right across Melville.
Removals and pruning we do in Melville
Most Melville jobs are everyday suburban work: taking out a dead, diseased or over-large tree, reducing one that's crowding the house, deadwooding the big established trees, and grinding the stumps afterwards. We grind stumps in-house, so it's one crew and one quote. On tighter blocks we take trees down in sections rather than felling them, protecting the house, fences and gardens.
Trees and conditions here
Melville sits on the deep Spearwood-dune sands that grew tuart and banksia, and the mature gums and exotics in its gardens drop limbs in summer heat and winter storms - so regular deadwooding and pruning keeps them safe. If you'd rather reduce a big tree than remove it, see our lopping vs pruning guide.
The City of Melville rules
Melville is, of course, in the City of Melville. Verge (street) trees need the City's approval before any pruning or removal - cutting one without permission can mean an infringement and the cost of replacing it. Trees inside your own boundary are currently your decision. We'll confirm which applies before we start.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Melville?
For a verge (street) tree, yes - the City of Melville must approve any pruning or removal, and unauthorised work can attract an infringement plus the cost of replacing the tree. Trees on your own property are currently the owner's decision, though the City has flagged it's developing a policy on retaining mature trees.
Do you grind the stump after a removal?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house, taking them below ground so you can re-turf, pave or replant. It's never sub-contracted out.
How much does tree removal cost in Melville?
It depends on the tree's size, access and how close it is to the house. We quote every Melville job free and in writing, with no call-out fee - see our Perth tree removal cost guide for the ranges.
