As a family-run arborist business with years of tree-care experience across Perth and surrounds, AB Trees delivers expert tree lopping, pruning, removal and stump grinding services tailored to suburban properties, rural blocks, commercial sites and more.
Trees are valuable assets that enhance every outdoor space — but when they’re overgrown, damaged, diseased or unsafe, you need a qualified arborist to manage them correctly. Cutting or removing trees without the proper training, equipment and safety standards can lead to costly property damage, personal injury and long-term tree health issues. That’s why our certified tree surgeons are committed to delivering quality workmanship combined with great communication and a “no mess, no damage” finish.
Below, you’ll find detailed information on the range of professional tree services we offer in Byford.
Tree lopping is often mentioned by homeowners as a quick way to reduce the size of a large or overgrown tree. In everyday conversation, “tree lopping” may be used to describe cutting a tree to lower its height or trim back large branches — but it’s a term that professional arborists associate with rough, non-specialist cutting that can harm tree health if not done correctly.
At AB Trees, our arborists approach size reduction with precision and plant health in mind. We don’t just hack branches off; we plan and execute cuts that:
Protect the tree’s long-term integrity
Maintain structural stability
Minimise stress and disease risk
Improve safety for people and property
Tree lopping might be recommended when:
A tree has become too tall for its location
Overgrowth blocks light or views
Branches interfere with powerlines or roofs
The tree’s shape needs reshaping for aesthetic or safety reasons
Rather than simply cutting large branches indiscriminately, our arborists use industry best practice techniques to make reductions that preserve tree health while achieving the desired result. We can also advise when alternative options — such as selective pruning — are better suited to the tree’s condition.
Tree pruning is a critical tree care service that improves health, appearance and safety for trees of all types. Unlike basic trimming, which primarily removes foliage and small branches for aesthetic purposes, arborist-led pruning focuses on the biological and structural well-being of the plant.
Regular pruning can:
Encourage strong branch structure
Reduce risk of failure in storms
Remove diseased, dead or pest-affected limbs
Improve airflow and sunlight penetration
Enhance seasonal flowering or fruiting
For Byford properties — where many native gums and ornamental trees flourish — thoughtful pruning promotes resilience in local conditions and helps trees withstand wind, drought and seasonal variation.
Our tree pruning follows recognised arboricultural standards to ensure cuts are made in the correct location and at the correct time of year. Poor pruning can create hazardous weak points, slow growth or even lead to long-term decline — which is why we take a conservative and informed approach for each individual tree.
Some trees reach a point where removal is the safest and most responsible option. Whether due to disease, storm damage, poor placement or declining health, tree removal should always be handled by qualified, insured professionals.
Removing a tree — particularly a large one — can be dangerous without the right training and tools. A qualified arborist assesses:
Tree condition (health, structural integrity)
Surrounding structures (homes, fences, powerlines)
Risk of limb or trunk failure
Fall path and debris management
This ensures the removal is carried out safely, efficiently and without unnecessary impact on your property.
Our arborist-led tree removal service includes:
A comprehensive on-site assessment
Permits and council compliance advice when needed
Precision cutting from ground level or via climbers
Mechanical support or crane use for large trees
Debris removal and stump grinding options
We handle projects of all sizes — from small ornamental trees in tight suburban gardens to large trees that require sectional removal. Safety is our priority throughout the process, from planning to clean-up.
At AB Trees, our team of certified arborists and tree surgeons bring experience, skill and commitment to every job. We understand that trees are living organisms with value — not just obstacles to be removed. That’s why we base all our recommendations on long-term tree health, safety and functionality.
