If you own a property in Wellard, you already know how quickly the local landscape can grow out of hand. Between the established gum trees along the older streets and the fresh landscaping going into Wellard’s newer estates, trees here need regular, professional attention to stay safe, healthy, and good to look at. That’s where AB Trees comes in.
We’re a family-owned and operated tree service that has been working across the Perth metro area for over 17 years, and Wellard falls right within our southern service zone. Whether you need a single tree pruned back from a fence line, a dead tree removed before storm season, or an entire block cleared ahead of a new build, our fully qualified arborists and ground crew handle it all with the same guarantee: a free, honest quote, and a job site left exactly as we found it.
Every AB Trees job in Wellard comes with our NO MESS and NO DAMAGE policy. That means your lawn, driveway, fencing, and gardens are protected throughout the job, and we don’t leave until every branch, offcut, and wood chip has been cleared away. 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 a term a lot of Wellard homeowners use when they want a tree cut back or brought under control, but it’s worth knowing that certified arborists actually avoid the word in a professional sense. Lopping — indiscriminately hacking off large limbs or the crown of a tree — can seriously damage a tree’s long-term health and structural stability, sometimes leaving it more dangerous than before.
At AB Trees, when Wellard clients ask for tree lopping, what we actually deliver is controlled, technically correct tree reduction. Our arborists assess the species, age, and condition of the tree first, then use proper pruning cuts to bring the tree down to a safer or more manageable size without exposing it to disease, pest infestation, or structural failure down the track.
This is particularly relevant in Wellard’s newer housing estates, where trees are often planted close to homes, fences, alfresco areas, and driveways. A tree that seemed like a reasonable size at planting can quickly outgrow its position, overhanging roofs or pushing into neighbouring properties. Rather than an aggressive hack job, we recommend a measured reduction that keeps the tree healthy while solving the actual problem — whether that’s blocked light, overhanging branches, or a canopy that’s simply grown too large for a smaller suburban block.
If you’re unsure 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 services we carry out for Wellard residents. Regular pruning does a lot more than tidy up a garden — it removes dead, diseased, or crossing branches before they become a hazard, improves airflow and light penetration through the canopy, and reduces the load a tree carries during Perth’s winter storms.
Our arborists offer a full range of pruning techniques suited to Wellard’s mix of established gums, ornamental natives, and younger feature trees planted throughout the estate developments:
Because Wellard has a good number of newer builds with young trees still establishing their structure, we also offer formative pruning for younger trees — shaping growth early so the tree develops a strong, safe structure as it matures, which saves on more expensive corrective work later in life.
All pruning work is carried out in line with Australian arboricultural standards, protecting the long-term health of your tree rather than just its appearance today.
Sometimes a tree is beyond saving, or it’s simply in the wrong spot. Dead or dying trees, trees damaged in storms, trees affected by root rot or termite damage, and trees that are structurally compromised all need to come down before they become 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 reading how a tree is likely to fall. Every year we hear about someone attempting a DIY tree removal only to have a large limb — or the whole tree — come down through a fence, a car, or worse, a roof.
Our Wellard tree removal service covers everything from small ornamental trees to large, mature gums that need careful, sectional dismantling to protect nearby homes, sheds, pools, and powerlines. We carry the right gear for the job, including EWP (cherry picker) access where height or access is an issue, and can arrange crane-assisted removal for particularly large or awkwardly positioned trees.
We assess your property, plan the safest removal method, carefully take the tree down section by section where needed, and dispose of all the resulting timber and green waste. If you’d like the stump gone too, we can grind that out in the same visit. By the time we leave, there’s barely a trace the tree was ever there — just a clean, safe block.
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 frankly, they’re an eyesore sitting in an otherwise tidy Wellard garden or verge.
Removing a stump properly requires specialised grinding equipment that chews the stump down below ground level, allowing you to landscape, turf, or plant right over the top without it in the way. 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 for you or an old stump that’s been sitting on your Wellard property for years.
We’ll grind the stump down, clear away the resulting 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 Wellard is either a fully qualified arborist or currently completing their qualification through TAFE, working under the close supervision of our experienced team. Even our ground staff and truck drivers hold the relevant chainsaw and chipper operation 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.
