SOS's Tree Services Perth

Send us an enquiry and you will hear back inside two to four hours, not two to four days. We ask for your suburb and property type, the job you think you need, the species and rough size if you know it, the access, and how urgent it is, then we come out and look at the tree and put the quote in writing with the costs and the timeline set out. If you are more than 50km from the Perth CBD a travel charge can apply, and we tell you that before you book rather than after. SOSs Tree Services has worked across Perth since 2008 for homes, businesses and strata complexes.

Jarrah, Marri and Tuart behave nothing like the imported species planted in among them, and an assessment is only as good as the person's grasp of what a particular tree does next. Knowing how a local species grows, where it typically fails and when it should be cut is what separates a real recommendation from a guess, and it is why our pruning is cut to Australian Standard AS 4373 for amenity trees.

On a tree removal we work with rigging and machinery at any size, whether the job is a dangerous tree, storm damage, or a garden being redone. Lopping, pruning and stump grinding follow the same standards, with as little disruption to the rest of the yard as the access allows, and green waste is mulched and recycled wherever it can be. Grass tree removal is a specialty of ours, which not every Perth outfit will take on.

On the paperwork side we prepare arborist reports for council applications, insurance claims and development projects, along with dangerous tree evaluations and Tree Preservation Order assessment and reporting, and if your council wants a removal permit we will help you put the application together. Our team leader holds an AQF Level 5 Diploma in Arboriculture with more than 20 years in the industry in Australia and overseas; the crew hold Certificate III in Arboriculture, elevated work platform licences, chainsaw and traffic management tickets and current first aid and CPR. We are members of Arboriculture Australia and carry $10 million in public liability cover.

Our patch takes in Joondalup, Wanneroo, Stirling, Perth CBD, Subiaco, Nedlands, Fremantle, Canning Vale, Armadale, Rockingham, Mandurah, Midland, Kalamunda and the Swan Valley, with emergency crews and equipped response vehicles kept positioned around the metro area. Storms come through in the early hours and limbs fail in the middle of the night, so the line runs every day of the year, Christmas and New Year included. Ring 0409 205 534, weekdays 7am to 6pm, Saturdays 8am to 4pm, and any hour at all if it is an emergency, and the person who picks up will be someone who works on trees, not an answering machine or an offshore call centre.
