Wild Green Tree Care - Greenwood

Not every removal is the same, and we treat each one that way. A single hazardous tree leaning too close to a Greenwood home calls for a different plan than a whole row coming out to make way for a new build or extension — but either way, nothing gets cut until we've properly assessed the site, the surroundings, and what's needed to get the job done safely. Lopping and stump grinding get folded into that plan from the outset wherever they're relevant, not tacked on once the main work's underway.

We bring equipment matched to the actual job in front of us — skilled climbers where access is tight, proper rigging for anything coming down near structures or fences, and machinery suited to the scale of the site. It's this considered, case-by-case approach, rather than a one-size-fits-all method, that keeps every removal we carry out in Greenwood to a genuinely high standard, job after job.

Ask any qualified arborist and they'll tell you the same thing: pruning and lopping aren't interchangeable, even though they're often talked about that way. Pruning is a deliberate, selective process aimed at long-term tree health; lopping is indiscriminate cutting that can leave a tree structurally weakened for years afterwards. Every job we do in Greenwood sticks to Australian Standards, which means the former, not the latter.

Done properly, pruning pays off in ways that go beyond a tidy appearance. Clearing built-up deadwood cuts down fire risk, discourages pests from settling into the canopy to nest, and helps a tree better withstand the kind of storms Perth sees over summer. We're just as mindful of the opposite mistake — over-pruning, which stresses a tree and can slow its growth rather than support it. The result we're after is a tree that's healthier and better structured after the job than before it, every single time.

Once a tree grows into the space around overhead powerlines, it stops being a simple trim and becomes a genuine safety matter — one that calls for qualified climbers who know the compliance requirements involved, not a quick job with a ladder and a pair of loppers.

We start with a proper assessment of how much clearance is actually needed, then prune carefully to bring the tree back within safe limits, taking care not to compromise its structure or set back its long-term health. For Greenwood properties where a tree keeps growing back into the lines every season, or is simply in an impractical spot to keep managing, removal and stump grinding can often make more sense than repeating the same clearance work year on year.

Whichever path suits your property, the priority stays constant throughout the job — keeping the tree, the powerlines, and everyone carrying out the work safe from start to finish.

We try to send as little as possible to landfill from any job. Timber from bigger removals is usually set aside and seasoned into firewood, giving Greenwood households a head start heading into the colder months, while the smaller stuff — branches, prunings, offcuts — gets run through the chipper and comes out the other end as fresh garden mulch.

It's not just about avoiding waste, either. Mulch genuinely earns its place in a garden bed, helping soil hold onto moisture through Perth's dry summer stretch, keeping weeds down, and slowly improving the soil underneath as it breaks down. If you're due for a top-up, it's always worth checking whether we've got some on hand from a job nearby.

Firewood is a bit more unpredictable — it comes down to what's been cut recently and how far along it is in seasoning — but we're always upfront about what's available at the time. Either way, it means the tree work happening on your Greenwood property leaves you with something useful, rather than just a truckload of green waste.

Not every tree on a Greenwood property is simply the owner's to remove or prune as they see fit. Many established trees across Perth's northern suburbs, including plenty found in Greenwood's older streets, provide genuine habitat value for native wildlife — Carnaby's Black Cockatoo among them, a species protected under both the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and Western Australia's Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. Cutting into or removing a tree that supports foraging or nesting activity without the right approvals can land you in real legal trouble, which makes proper advice worth getting before any major work is booked.

We build this consideration into every assessment we carry out, looking for hollows, feeding damage, or other signs of cockatoo activity before recommending any course of action, whether that's pruning, lopping, or removal. Where protection applies, we'll walk you through what's actually allowed, what approvals the City of Stirling might require, and how to plan the work so it stays compliant while still dealing with any genuine safety issue on the property.

A bit of advice upfront generally saves a lot of grief later on — whether that means dodging a fine, protecting local wildlife, or simply recognising that a tree is worth keeping rather than removing. If you're uncertain what's involved before any tree work starts on your Greenwood property, it costs nothing to ask us first.

Removing the tree is often the easy part — what's left behind is where the real problem starts. A stump sitting in the yard invites termites, encourages fungal rot underneath, and creates a genuine trip hazard, all while blocking whatever you had planned for that part of the garden, whether that's fresh turf, a new garden bed, or paving.

Our purpose-built grinding equipment solves that properly, taking the stump down well below ground level and breaking up the surface roots that spread out from the base as it goes. The exact depth depends on the tree species and how the space will be used going forward, but the end result is always the same: no raised root plate left to catch a mower blade or hurt a bare foot, and a far cleaner finish than simply letting the stump rot away over several years.

Once we're done grinding, it's entirely your choice what happens to the mulch — keep it on-site to enrich your garden beds, or have it removed so the area's completely clear and ready for planting, paving, or turf. Single stump or a handful from a larger clearing job, we handle it quickly and cleanly, without disrupting the rest of your Greenwood property.

Palms don't play by the same rules as other trees, and treating them that way — whether pruning or removing them — tends to end badly. Our arborists work with palms of every height and variety across Greenwood, including tall, established specimens that have become a falling-frond hazard or simply grown too large for the space they're in.

Left unpruned, palms build up dead fronds and heavy seed pods in the crown, adding weight that becomes a real risk once Perth's summer storms roll through. Regular pruning keeps that in check, clearing dead or overhanging growth while steering clear of over-pruning — a common mistake that stresses the palm and can hold back its growth rather than support it.

Removal is its own job entirely. A palm's dense, fibrous trunk and heavy crown behave nothing like a standard tree coming down, so we plan each removal around the specific site, using the right rigging to bring it down safely and in sections where the space calls for it. Fences, garden beds, and nearby structures stay protected throughout, whether it's a single palm coming out or several as part of a bigger job.

A hedge rarely goes from tidy to overgrown overnight — it happens gradually, trim by missed trim, until one day it's gone bare and woody at the base and a hard cutback is the only real fix. Regular maintenance avoids that entirely, and it's what keeps hedges across Greenwood properties looking full and healthy rather than sparse and patchy.

Every hedge is a little different, and we work with whatever suits the property — sharp, formal lines for a more contemporary frontage, or a looser, more natural shape for a larger block with an established garden. Either way, our certified arborists bring the right equipment and technique to deliver a clean, even finish, working carefully around fence lines, driveways, and anywhere a neighbour's garden backs onto yours.

Beyond how it looks, there's a genuine safety angle to keeping hedges under control. Overgrown hedges near driveways or street corners can block sightlines for reversing cars and pedestrians alike, a problem that builds slowly and goes unnoticed until it isn't. Whatever condition your hedge is in, we'll get it back to something sharp, dense, and easy to keep that way.

Greenwood has no shortage of duplex and green-title strata sites, and while they don't come with the scale of a large apartment complex, they bring their own version of the same challenge — a shared driveway, a common fence line, or a tree that sits right on the boundary between two owners. Getting agreement between two households, rather than a full committee, sounds simpler in theory, but it still calls for a contractor who's straightforward to deal with and fair to both parties.

We work with strata managers and duplex owners across Greenwood to make that process easy. Quotes are itemised clearly enough that both sides can see exactly what's being done and why, which matters when a shared tree or hedge needs sign-off from more than one owner. Jobs are scheduled with minimal disruption to either property, and our fully insured crew turns up when agreed — no chasing up, no guesswork about timing.

The scope covers everything a Greenwood duplex or small strata site typically needs: routine pruning, hazard reduction, hedge trimming along shared boundaries, and full removals or stump grinding where a tree's outgrown its spot. We're happy to liaise directly with a strata manager or with both owners individually, and we can provide before-and-after photos so there's a clear record for everyone involved. For sites that would rather sort tree care once and not think about it again, a simple recurring schedule keeps things tidy without either owner needing to raise it.

When a storm hits Greenwood, the aftermath can range from a single fallen branch to a full tree brought down across a yard. Either way, storm damage tends to demand attention fast rather than sitting on a to-do list.

Our team is built around exactly this kind of response. We get out to Greenwood properties quickly, work out how serious the risk is, and remove hazardous or fallen trees safely, even under urgent, storm-emergency conditions.

Not every job looks the same. Sometimes it's straightforward, clearing a limb off a path. Other times it's more complex: a tree leaning dangerously toward a house, a trunk cracked partway through, or roots torn loose by saturated soil. Our Greenwood team brings the right equipment for the job at hand, working carefully to protect fences, paving, and garden beds along the way.

We take care of:

• Fast removal of fallen or partly fallen trees
• Clearing storm-torn limbs and branches
• Checking trees that look at risk after bad weather
• Careful removal in tight or tricky yards
• Full debris clean-up once finished

If storm damage has hit your Greenwood property, get in touch with Wild Green Tree Care and we'll take it from here.

Storm Damage Questions

Can someone come out the same day after a storm in Greenwood?
In most cases, yes. Storm jobs are treated urgently, and we do what we can to reach you quickly, especially where there's an ongoing risk.

My tree looks damaged but hasn't fallen, should I still get it looked at?
Yes. Storm damage can compromise a tree's structure even when it's still standing, and that can lead to failure later on. It's worth having it assessed.

What if the tree landed on my fence or shed?
We handle this regularly and take extra care during removal to avoid making existing damage worse.

Is clean-up part of the service?
Yes, we clear all branches, leaves, and timber before we finish the job.

Will insurance cover the cost of removal?
That depends on your policy, so it's worth checking with your insurer. We can provide photos or documentation for your claim if needed.

What if the tree turns out to be a cockatoo nesting site?
If we find signs of Carnaby's Black Cockatoo activity, we assess in line with the EPBC Act 1999 and WA Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 before proceeding, even under time pressure.
