What we do

Four things, done properly, by people who own the gear.

No subcontracting the hard bit to a bloke with a ute. Our own climbers, our own chipper, our own grinder, and enough experience to tell you when a tree is worth saving.

Tree Removal

Whole tree or piece by piece. We rig limbs down over pools, patios and powerlines instead of hoping they miss.

  • Sectional dismantling in tight blocks
  • Crane and EWP access available
  • Root ball and stump handled in one visit
See how we do it

Pruning & Lopping

Pruned to AS 4373, not hacked to a stump. Better light, safer limbs, and a tree that still looks like a tree.

  • Crown thinning, lifting and reduction
  • Deadwooding and storm-proofing
  • Powerline and boundary clearance
See how we do it

Stump Grinding

The bit most mobs leave behind. We grind 300mm below grade so you can turf, pave or plant straight over it.

  • Narrow-access machines for side gates
  • Grindings removed or left as mulch
  • Surface roots chased and cleared

24/7 Emergency Response

  • Trees on homes, cars and fences

Perth blocks, Perth trees.

A peppercorn taken down limb by limb, a cocos palm cleared over a pool, a gum through somebody's roof at first light. Same crew, same standard.

Why Perth keeps calling us back

A tree ring tells you everything. So does a track record.

Every season since 2008 has added another ring. Cyclonic squalls off the Indian Ocean, jarrah roots into old clay pipes, tuarts that outgrew a 1970s subdivision. We have seen the lot, and we quote from experience rather than a spreadsheet.

How it works

From first call to final rake, in five steps.

1

Ring, text or fill in the form

You get a person, not a call centre. Tell us what the tree is doing and send a photo if you have one. Most quotes go out the same day.

2

We come and look at it

A real arborist walks the site, checks access, species, targets and council status, then writes a fixed price. Free, and no pressure to sign anything.

3

Booked in, insured, notified

You get a date, a crew arrival window and the certificates of currency. If we need a council application or a traffic management plan, we handle it.

4

The work happens

Rigged, cut, chipped and ground out. Neighbours warned, driveways protected, and nothing dropped that we did not intend to drop.

5

Site left better than we found it

Raked, blown down and walked through with you before we leave. Mulch stays if you want it for the garden beds.

24 hours, 7 days

The SOS in our name is not decoration.

A limb through the roof at 2am is not a "we will get back to you Monday" problem. Storm season in Perth runs June to August and we run a night crew through all of it. Make-safe first, full removal after, insurance paperwork sorted.

Where we work

Yanchep to Mandurah, and everything between.

Five crews across the Perth metro means the truck that comes to you is usually already in your corridor. Northern suburbs, western suburbs, the hills, south of the river and down the coast.

Before you ring

The questions everyone asks.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Perth?

It depends entirely on your local government area, and Perth councils are not consistent about it. Some protect trees over a set height or trunk diameter, some protect a species list, some only care about street trees on the verge. We check your council before we quote and tell you straight if an application is needed. If one is, we can prepare it and the supporting arborist report.

How much does tree removal cost in Perth?

Most residential removals land between $450 and $3,500. A small ornamental in an open backyard sits at the bottom. A mature marri hanging over a pool with no side access and a powerline in the way sits at the top. The four things that move the price are height, access, what is underneath, and whether the stump goes too.

Every quote we give is fixed and in writing. We do not quote hourly, because that only ever benefits us.

Are you actually insured, and can I see it?

Yes, and yes. $20 million public liability, full workers compensation and professional indemnity. Ask and the certificates of currency are in your inbox the same day. If a contractor hesitates when you ask for these, that is your answer.

How fast can you get here in an emergency?

We aim to be on site within the hour anywhere in the Perth metro, 24 hours a day. On a bad storm night everyone rings at once, so we triage by risk. Trees on houses and blocked driveways go first, a snapped branch on the lawn waits until morning, and we will tell you honestly which one you are.

Will you top my tree if I ask you to?

No. Topping removes the tree's ability to feed itself and triggers a mess of weak regrowth that becomes a bigger hazard in three years. If a tree is too big for its position, the honest options are a proper crown reduction to AS 4373 or removal and replanting with something appropriately sized. We will walk you through both.

What happens to all the timber and mulch?

Green waste goes through the chipper and off site to be recycled. Millable logs go to a local sawyer where the species is worth it. If you want the mulch for your garden beds, say so before we start and we will drop a pile wherever you like at no charge.
