Emergency Tree Response Across the City of Melville
Perth's Mediterranean climate delivers intense weather, from fierce winter cold fronts off the Indian Ocean between May and September to sudden convective thunderstorms in autumn. When saturated Bassendean or Spearwood sands combine with heavy wind loading, mature eucalypts like marri, jarrah, and lemon scented gums can suffer sudden root-plate failure or drop large, hung-up limbs.
If a tree has fallen on your house, car, fence, or power line, our emergency tree response team is available 24/7. When you call us for urgent make-safe work, we typically aim for a 60 to 90-minute response time during business hours across the City of Melville, and a two-hour window for after-hours callouts.
Our first priority is always making the site safe. We will isolate the hazard, clear access ways, and relieve tension on damaged structures. Once the immediate danger is neutralised, we schedule a full sectional dismantle or crane-assisted removal and process the debris. Under the City of Melville Local Planning Scheme No. 6 (LPS6), trees that are imminently dangerous can often be dealt with immediately, but our AQF Level 5 consulting arborist will ensure proper written justification and photo documentation are kept on file for your insurance provider.

How to Book Us for Tree Works
We have designed our booking process to be as straightforward as possible for homeowners and property managers. If you are dealing with an active emergency—such as a tree on your roof or a blocked driveway—please call us directly. A phone call ensures we can dispatch a crew or an assessing arborist immediately to handle the hazard.
For routine pruning, stump grinding, or planned tree removals, the best way to Contact Melville Arborist is via our online quote form. Please provide a brief description of the job, the tree species if known (for example, a large tuart or a declining box elder maple), and any access constraints on your block.
When we receive your inquiry, we will schedule a free, on-site consultation. Our assessing arborist will evaluate the tree's health, check for any Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer quarantine restrictions, and determine the safest approach. We will then provide a written, itemised quote. Once approved, we will book a firm date for our fully insured climbing crew and trucks to complete the work safely and cleanly.
Before We Arrive: Safety Protocol
If you are dealing with a fallen or severely damaged tree, your immediate safety is the top priority. Keep all family members, tenants, and pets well clear of the drop zone. Do not attempt to pull down hung-up branches yourself.
If the tree has brought down power lines or is resting on a service wire, assume the area is live. Stay at least eight metres away and contact Western Power immediately. Before our trucks arrive, we highly recommend taking clear photographs of the damage from a safe distance. This provides excellent evidence for your insurer. Once our crew is on-site, we will manage the hazard, document the structural failure, and provide an itemised risk assessment.
Local Knowledge, Local Response
Navigating tree work in this region requires distinct local knowledge. Out-of-area operators often lack an understanding of the City of Melville's specific conditions, from the deep Bassendean sands in the east to the steep, unstable limestone escarpments near Blackwall Reach.
Because we are based right here in Melville, our response times beat operators travelling across the river. We know the local planning instruments inside out, including the exemptions under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and the critical handling requirements for the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Quarantine Area. Whether your property is governed by R-Codes volume canopy requirements or strict Bush Fires Act 1954 hazard reduction notices, our AQF Level 5 arborists ensure full compliance. You get peace of mind knowing you are dealing with a local team that understands exactly how to manage sixty-year-old trees on classic 1970s blocks.
Payments and Quotes
We believe in transparent, upfront pricing with absolutely no hidden fees. All our quotes are provided in writing, fully itemised, and inclusive of GST. Your quote will clearly outline the cost for the tree removal or pruning, as well as separate line items for stump grinding or complex debris processing if required.
Once the job is completed to your satisfaction and the site is raked and blown clean, we will issue a formal tax invoice. We accept payment via EFT (bank transfer), major credit cards, and EFTPOS. If your tree work is part of an insurance claim following storm damage, let us know—we can format our invoices and arborist reports specifically to meet your assessor's requirements, smoothing out the claim process.
