Tree Lopping & Pruning in Wembley Downs
Wembley Downs is a north-western suburb about ten kilometres from the city, tucked up against one of Perth's great green spaces - Bold Park, the 437-hectare A-class bushland around Reabold Hill that runs almost to the Indian Ocean at City Beach and is managed, like Kings Park, by the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority. With the Wembley Golf Complex and the coast close by, it's a leafy, established suburb on the Spearwood dune sands - tuart and banksia country - where mature trees fill the gardens. Looking after those trees is most of what San's Tree Service does in Wembley Downs.
Pruning Wembley Downs trees
The tuarts, gums and big exotics that shade the suburb are an asset, but the coastal wind off the nearby ocean leaves the tall ones stressed over time, and they shed limbs in heat and storms. The right work keeps them sound:
- Deadwooding - removing dead and weakened limbs before they fall.
- Crown reduction - lowering height and spread while keeping the tree's shape.
- Crown thinning - letting wind pass through so the tree catches less of it.
Lopping done properly, not butchered
Heavy "lopping" - hacking branches to stubs - leaves weak, decay-prone regrowth that's more dangerous within a few years, and natives don't reshoot well from it. We prune to natural growth points so the tree heals. Our lopping vs pruning guide explains the difference.
"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)
The City of Stirling rules
Wembley Downs is in the City of Stirling, and the verge (street) tree out the front isn't yours to cut - residents and builders can't prune street trees (you ask the City), and the City won't remove one to suit a development. Trees inside your boundary are your decision.

Frequently asked questions
Can I prune the street tree on my Wembley Downs verge?
No - in the City of Stirling, residents and builders aren't permitted to prune street (verge) trees. You contact the City to request it, and the City maintains them. Trees inside your own boundary are your decision.
Can you prune coastal trees near Bold Park and City Beach?
Yes - close to the coast and the Bold Park bushland, Wembley Downs trees catch the sea breeze. We deadwood and reduce wind-stressed trees so they're safer and better balanced, rather than removing them where they can be saved.
Do you grind the stump after a removal?
Yes - we grind stumps in-house, taking them below ground so you can re-turf or replant.
