Tree Removal in Peppermint Grove
Peppermint Grove is the smallest local government area in Australia - just 1.1 square kilometres on the north bank of the Swan River at Freshwater Bay, twelve kilometres from the city. It's Perth's most exclusive address, where Manners Hill Park looks out over the bay, Keane's Point reaches into the river by the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, and the Swan River peppermint trees that gave the suburb its name still line many of the streets. Grand homes on leafy blocks mean big, established trees, and San's Tree Service does the removal, pruning and clean-up across "Peppy Grove".
The Shire of Peppermint Grove rules
Peppermint Grove is its own tiny council - the Shire of Peppermint Grove - and it guards its canopy closely:
- The Shire owns every street tree (the signature Peppermint Tree, Agonis flexuosa, lines many verges), and you must apply with justification before one is trimmed, removed or replaced - at your cost.
- The Shire also has a Tree Retention policy (LPP7) protecting trees on private land.
So before removing a sizeable tree here, it's worth checking the position. We can help you work out what applies.
Riverside blocks and conditions
Peppermint Grove's blocks run down toward Freshwater Bay on limestone-and-sand ground, and the tall trees catch the wind off the water - so deadwooding and sensible crown reduction keep the big ones safe. Where a tree is past saving we remove it in sections to protect the home and gardens, and grind the stump after.
"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)

Frequently asked questions
Do I need approval to remove a tree in Peppermint Grove?
For a street tree, yes - the Shire of Peppermint Grove owns every verge tree and you must apply, with justification, before one is trimmed, removed or replaced (at your cost). The Shire also has a Tree Retention policy (LPP7) protecting trees on private land, so check before removing a big one. We can help.
Can you remove large trees on tight riverside blocks?
Yes. Peppermint Grove's prestige blocks are leafy and often tight, close to neighbours and the river. We take big trees down in sections - climbing and roping limbs under control - to protect homes, walls and gardens.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house after a removal, leaving the spot ready to replant or landscape.
