Joshua Tree WA

Our arborists are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture, and Joshua Tree WA is fully licensed and insured on top of it. That certification is the difference between an opinion about your tree and an assessment somebody else can rely on, which is why our reports follow the Australian Standards and the requirements of your local council. Homeowners, businesses, developers, property managers and local councils all use us, and the same certified crew turns up for a single street tree as for a full site.

Where the certification earns its keep is the consultation work. A tree risk assessment identifies the hazards and structural weaknesses in a tree before they become somebody's problem, and a certified arborist report puts that on paper as the compliance documentation a development application or a property file needs. If you are building, our tree preservation planning sets out how the trees on site are protected through the works. We diagnose disease, pest issues and environmental stress, advise on site and species selection so what you plant suits your soil, space and climate, and write growth and maintenance plans for the long run.

The hands on work follows the same standards. We prune and trim to improve a tree's structure and take risk out of the canopy, with the technique chosen for the species and its growth habit. Trees come out when they are dead, diseased or leaning badly enough to fall in the next storm, and sometimes when an overcrowded stand is competing for the sunlight and nutrients and thinning it gives the rest a chance; the complex ones hard against a house come down in sections. The stump grinding that follows goes below ground level so you can turf or plant straight over the spot. On the health side we run tree health assessments, fertilisation and soil care matched to Perth's conditions, targeted pest and disease management, cabling and bracing to reinforce a weak branch before it splits, and seasonal check ups so nothing creeps up on you.

Storm damage does not wait for business hours, so our emergency crews are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week across the Perth metro area north of the Swan River. A tree across the driveway, a limb hanging over a roof or anything resting on a power line gets a rapid dispatch, and where the full job has to wait for daylight or heavier gear we secure the unstable tree or branch in the meantime. If there is an insurance claim in it we help with the documentation and coordination your insurer wants. Call 0488 333 483 for a free quote, or send the form through with what the tree is doing; if it is urgent, ring rather than write, because that line runs day and night.
