Tree Removal in West Leederville
West Leederville is a character-filled inner suburb on the city's doorstep, where the cafes and shops of Cambridge Street run between streets of Federation cottages - Holyrood Street was the first heritage-listed street in the Town of Cambridge - and the wide expanse of Lake Monger, long significant to the Whadjuk Noongar and now a favourite for walking and birdwatching, sits on the eastern edge. The suburb grew up around the railway in the 1890s, so its established gardens hold big, mature trees. Looking after that heritage canopy is most of what San's Tree Service does across West Leederville.
Caring for West Leederville's trees
The mature trees that shade these heritage streets are an asset worth protecting, and they reward careful work:
- Light, well-placed pruning - keeping a tree's shape and health.
- Deadwooding - removing dead limbs from big old trees before they fall.
- Crown reduction - bringing an oversized tree back without wrecking its form.
Where a tree is dead or dangerous we remove it, working in sections on the tight inner-suburban blocks to protect the home, fences and gardens, and grind the stump after. Our lopping vs pruning guide explains why heavy cutting does more harm than good.
The Town of Cambridge rules
West Leederville is in the Town of Cambridge, which manages more than 27,000 council-owned trees across its streets and parks:
- Residents can't remove a street (verge) tree - unauthorised removal means the Town replaces it and may recover the cost from whoever's responsible.
Trees inside your own boundary are your decision. We'll confirm which applies before any work.

Frequently asked questions
Can I remove the street tree on my West Leederville verge?
No - West Leederville is in the Town of Cambridge, which manages its street trees; unauthorised removal of a verge tree means the Town replaces it and may recover the cost from whoever's responsible. Trees inside your own boundary are your decision. We'll confirm which applies.
Can you prune the big old trees on a heritage block?
Yes - West Leederville's character streets are full of mature trees worth protecting. We prune lightly and to proper points, keeping the tree's shape and health rather than butchering it.
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.
