Professional Tree Care for Perth Homes
Trees around homes often grow close to houses, garages, fences, swimming pools, sheds, driveways and neighbouring properties. This can make even apparently straightforward tree work more complicated.
Large branches may need to be carefully lowered rather than simply cut and dropped. Access can be restricted through narrow side passages, while gardens, paving and surrounding structures need to be protected while work is carried out.
Our arborists assess the tree, its condition and its surroundings before deciding how the work should be completed. In many cases, appropriate pruning can solve the problem while retaining the tree. Where a tree is dead, unsuitable, dangerous or needs to make way for other works, removal may be the more practical option.
Our Tree Services for Homes and Properties
Different trees and properties require different approaches. Lakeside provides a broad range of services for homeowners and property owners throughout Perth.
Tree Removal
A tree may need to be removed if it is dead or declining, badly damaged, structurally compromised, interfering with a building or planned works, growing in an unsuitable position or becoming too difficult to manage within the available space.
Tree removal can be more challenging where trees are located close to houses, fences, pools or neighbouring properties. Our arborists assess the site and determine an appropriate removal method based on the size and location of the tree, available access and surrounding structures.
Where required, trees can be dismantled in sections so branches and timber can be controlled as they are brought to the ground. Specialist climbing, rigging or access equipment may be used where the location makes the job more complex.
Once the tree is down, stump grinding can also be arranged if you want to reclaim the area for lawn, garden beds, paving or other landscaping.
Tree Pruning and Trimming
Not every problem tree needs to come down.
Professional pruning can help maintain the structure, health and appearance of a tree while managing branches that have become overgrown, damaged or problematic.
Pruning may be recommended to:
- Remove dead or damaged branches
- Improve clearance around roofs, gutters and buildings
- Manage excessive growth
- Reduce branches obstructing driveways or pathways
- Address crossing or poorly positioned limbs
Different species respond differently to pruning, so the correct technique matters. Simply cutting branches back as hard as possible can damage the tree and create further problems.
If you are unsure whether a tree needs pruning, lopping or complete removal, our arborists can assess the situation and discuss the most suitable option.
Stump Grinding
Old stumps can occupy valuable garden space, interfere with landscaping and become obstacles around lawns, paths and access areas.
Stump grinding uses specialist machinery to reduce the remaining stump below ground level, making the area easier to reuse or landscape.
It can help you reclaim garden space, prepare an area for lawn or new planting, improve access or remove a stump left from previous tree work.
Lakeside can provide stump grinding after tree removal or as a standalone service, including in locations where access is restricted.
Emergency Tree Services
Storms and strong winds can damage branches or entire trees with little warning.
A fallen tree can block a driveway, damage a roof, fall across a fence or create a hazard in the garden. Large branches can also become unstable and pose a risk to people and property.
Lakeside provides emergency tree services in Perth where fallen, storm-damaged or unstable trees require urgent attention.
If a tree or branch has fallen onto live electrical infrastructure, keep away from the area and contact the relevant electricity provider or emergency service. Do not attempt to approach or move it yourself.
When Should You Call an Arborist?
It is not always obvious when a tree needs professional attention. It may be worth asking an arborist to inspect a tree if you notice:
- Large dead or broken branches
- Branches growing over your house or roof
- A tree leaning more than it previously did
- Significant storm damage
- Cracks or damage in major branches
- A tree that appears to be declining
- Excessive growth towards buildings or neighbouring properties
- A tree becoming too large for its location
- Branches obstructing driveways or access
- A tree you are considering removing but may be able to retain
An arborist can look at the tree as a whole rather than simply addressing the most obvious branch or symptom. In some cases, pruning may be enough. In others, further tree care or removal may be recommended.
