Services
Tree Pruning
Our certified arborists perform precision pruning to enhance tree health, structural integrity, and aesthetic appeal. We address hazardous branches, clear obstructions near buildings or powerlines, and implement storm-resistant shaping techniques. Each pruning operation follows Australian standards AS 4373-2007 for tree pruning, ensuring long-term tree vitality while maintaining property safety and visual appeal.
Tree Removal
We safely remove trees that pose hazards or hinder property development using industry-leading equipment and risk assessment protocols. Our process includes site evaluation, containment zone establishment, and stump grinding options. With specialist crane capabilities for complex removals, we ensure minimal impact on surrounding landscapes while complying with local council regulations and safety standards.
Crane Removals
Our crane-assisted removals utilise 100-tonne machinery with 35m reach for safe extraction of large or difficult-to-access trees. This method protects structures by lifting sections over buildings, reducing ground disturbance. Each operation follows strict safety protocols with traffic control and temporary access solutions where required, ensuring efficient removal in challenging urban environments.
Storm Damage
We provide urgent tree recovery services following storms, including fallen tree removal and powerline clearance. Our team coordinates directly with insurance providers for seamless claims processing. Available for immediate dispatch, we prioritise hazard mitigation and property restoration while maintaining compliance with Western Power safety regulations for all electrical clearance work.
Powerline Clearance
We maintain required vegetation clearances around powerlines to prevent outages and ensure safety compliance. Our arborists follow AS 4372-2006 standards for electrical safety zones, implementing strategic pruning patterns that promote regrowth control. This service includes council-mandated clearance certificates and ongoing maintenance scheduling to meet regulatory requirements.

Highly recommend Matt and the guys from West Coast Arbor Service. All the trees for our Attadale Primary School nature play project were sourced and supplied through West Coast Arbor and their Trees for Nature Play service. Very professional and a pleasure to deal with plus an amazing community spirit!

Thanks to West Coast Arbor Service for taking good care of the logs that got delivered to Riverlands Montessori School for the nature play spaces. The cuts made on the trunks were smooth and safe for the children. The delivery by Matt was exceptional, so knowledgeable and patient to my requirements.
