Tree Lopping & Pruning in Woodlands
Woodlands is a quiet, leafy suburb in Perth's near north-west, built around Jackadder Lake - the freshwater lake (known as Jackadup) ringed by native eucalypt woodland, a 1.2km loop path and a shaded playground, home to the snake-necked turtles celebrated in the reserve's "Nest" sculpture. It's an established, well-treed suburb on the Spearwood dune sands near Churchlands, where mature jarrah, marri and exotics fill the gardens. Keeping those trees healthy and safe is most of what San's Tree Service does across Woodlands.
Pruning Woodlands' trees
The mature eucalypts and exotics that shade Woodlands' streets are an asset, but big trees shed limbs in heat and storms and need the right work to stay sound:
- Deadwooding - removing dead limbs before they fall.
- Crown reduction - bringing height and spread down while keeping the tree's shape.
- Crown thinning and lifting - letting light and wind through, clearing the house and driveway.
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 native eucalypts don't reshoot well from it. We prune to natural growth points so the tree heals. Our lopping vs pruning guide explains the difference.
"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)
The City of Stirling rules
Woodlands 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.
