Tree Removal in Shenton Park
Shenton Park is a small, established suburb four kilometres west of the city, built around Lake Jualbup - the wetland whose Noongar name means "a place where water rises in the season of spring", and which remains a registered Aboriginal site. Quiet, tree-lined streets run from the lake past Shenton Village and Rosalie Park, mixing workers' cottages with grand brick homes under a mature canopy. Those big old trees are part of the suburb's character, and looking after them - carefully, and within some strict council rules - is what San's Tree Service does across Shenton Park.
Two councils, strict rules
Shenton Park is unusual: it straddles the City of Nedlands and the City of Subiaco, so which rules apply depends on exactly where your tree stands:
- Both councils manage their own street trees, and it's an offence to prune or remove a verge tree without authorisation.
- Subiaco in particular protects larger trees strongly - native trees over 3 metres, exotics over 5 metres in residential areas, and anything in a heritage area can all be protected.
Before any sizeable job here, it's worth working out which council and which rules apply. We can help.
Caring for Shenton Park's trees
Around Lake Jualbup and through the older streets, the work that matters is deadwooding the big trees, sensible crown reduction on oversized ones, and removal only where a tree is dead or dangerous. We take trees down in sections on tighter blocks and grind the stumps 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 Shenton Park?
Possibly, and which rules apply depends on where in the suburb you are - Shenton Park straddles the City of Nedlands and the City of Subiaco. Both manage their own street trees and it's an offence to prune or remove a verge tree without authorisation, and Subiaco in particular protects larger trees strongly. We'll help you check which council and rules apply.
Can you work on the big old trees near Lake Jualbup?
Yes - Shenton Park's quiet, tree-lined streets around Lake Jualbup are full of mature trees worth protecting. We prune carefully to keep them healthy and only remove where it's genuinely needed.
Do you grind the stump too?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house after a removal, so the spot is ready to re-turf or replant.
