Medina is one of the oldest suburbs in the Kwinana area, and its heritage streetscapes and wide, mature verges give it a distinctive, green character you don’t find in newer estates. Many of the trees here have been standing for generations, which is part of Medina’s charm — but it also means those trees need consistent, expert care to remain safe, sound and healthy. That’s exactly where AB Trees can help.
We’re a family-owned and operated tree service that has worked across the Perth metro area for more than 17 years, and Medina sits well inside our southern service zone. Whether you need a single tree pruned back from the house, an ageing tree removed before the wild weather arrives, or a full block cleared ahead of a rebuild, our qualified arborists and ground crew take on the whole job — with a free, honest quote and a work site left exactly as we found it.
Every AB Trees job in Medina is backed by our NO MESS and NO DAMAGE policy. Your lawn, driveway, fencing and gardens are protected throughout the work, and we don’t leave until every branch, offcut and wood chip has been cleared. No shortcuts, no cowboys with a chainsaw and a ute — just properly trained arborists who take pride in getting it right the first time.
Tree lopping is the phrase a lot of Medina residents use when a tree needs cutting back or bringing under control, though it’s worth knowing that certified arborists avoid the term professionally. Lopping — crudely removing large limbs or topping the crown — can seriously undermine a tree’s health and structural stability, and often leaves it more dangerous than it was before.
When Medina clients ask us for lopping, what we actually provide is controlled, technically correct tree reduction. Our arborists assess the species, age and condition of the tree first, then apply proper pruning cuts to bring it to a safer, more manageable size without exposing it to disease, pests or structural failure over time.
This is particularly important in an established suburb like Medina, where many trees are decades old and were planted long before today’s homes, extensions and outbuildings went up around them. A tree that once had plenty of room can now overhang the roof, drop limbs across a driveway, or crowd a neighbour’s boundary. Rather than an aggressive hack, we recommend a measured reduction that solves the real problem — blocked light, overhanging branches, or a canopy grown too large for the block — while keeping the tree healthy.
If you’re not sure whether your tree needs lopping, pruning or full removal, give us a call. We’ll assess it properly and give you honest advice, not just a quote for the biggest job.
Pruning is the correct, arborist-approved way to manage a tree’s shape, size and health, and it’s one of the most common jobs we carry out for Medina residents. Regular pruning does far more than tidy a garden — it removes dead, diseased or crossing branches before they become a hazard, improves light and airflow through the canopy, and reduces the load a tree carries through Perth’s winter storms.
Our arborists offer a full range of pruning techniques suited to Medina’s many mature and heritage trees:
Because so many of Medina’s trees are well matured, much of our pruning here is corrective — carefully rebalancing heavy or lopsided canopies that have developed over the years. Where younger trees are still establishing, we also offer formative pruning to build a strong, safe structure early and avoid more costly work later on.
All pruning is carried out in line with Australian arboricultural standards, protecting your tree’s long-term health rather than just its appearance today.
Sometimes a tree is beyond saving, or it’s simply in the wrong place. Dead or dying trees, storm-damaged trees, trees affected by root rot or termite damage, and trees that have become structurally compromised all need to come down before they turn into a genuine risk to people or property.
Tree removal is not a job for a weekend warrior with a chainsaw. It requires the right equipment, a properly trained crew, and real experience in reading how a tree is likely to fall. Every year we hear of someone attempting a DIY removal only to put a large limb — or the whole tree — through a fence, a car, or a roof.
Our Medina tree removal service covers everything from small ornamentals to the large, mature trees the suburb is known for, which often need careful sectional dismantling to protect nearby homes, sheds, pools and powerlines. We carry the right gear, including EWP (cherry picker) access where height or access is an issue, and can arrange crane-assisted removal for particularly large or awkwardly placed trees.
We assess your property, plan the safest removal method, take the tree down section by section where needed, and dispose of all the timber and green waste. If you’d like the stump gone too, we can grind it out in the same visit. By the time we leave, there’s barely a trace the tree was ever there.
A leftover stump might seem like a minor issue, but it’s more of a headache than most people expect. Stumps are a tripping hazard for kids and visitors, they attract termites and other pests, they can sprout unwanted regrowth, and they’re an eyesore in an otherwise tidy Medina garden or verge.
Removing a stump properly requires specialised grinding equipment that chews the stump down below ground level, so you can landscape, turf or plant right over the top. AB Trees carries this equipment as standard and can grind stumps of almost any size — whether it’s a leftover from a tree we’ve just removed or an old one that’s been sitting on your Medina property for years.
We grind the stump down, clear away the mulch and debris, and leave the area ready for whatever you’ve got planned next — new turf, a garden bed, or simply a flatter, safer yard.
Every member of the AB Trees crew working in Medina is either a fully qualified arborist or completing their qualification through TAFE under the close supervision of our experienced team. Even our ground staff and truck drivers hold the relevant chainsaw and chipper tickets, so every person on site knows exactly what they’re doing and why.
We’ve built our reputation over 17 years as a Western Australian, family-owned business by offering honest advice and fair pricing rather than pushing unnecessary work. If your tree just needs a prune, we won’t try to sell you a removal. If it genuinely needs to come down, we’ll tell you straight and explain why.
AB Trees is fully insured, and every job in Medina comes with a free, no-obligation written quote. We respond to every enquiry, and we back every job with our NO MESS and NO DAMAGE guarantee.
