Why palm specialists
A palm is not just another tree
General tree services are set up for hardwoods with branches and solid timber. Palms have neither, which is why palm removal in Perth needs its own methods, equipment and experience.
- 01
The trunk is fibre, not timber
A palm trunk is a bundle of fibres, so it reacts differently to a chainsaw and must be supported as it is cut. That is why palms are dismantled from the top down instead of felled in one piece.
- 02
One growing point
A palm grows from a single point at the top of the trunk. Cutting into it or stripping healthy fronds can kill the palm, so correct pruning follows Australian arboriculture standards.
- 03
Heavy crowns drop without warning
Dead fronds, seed pods and old flower stalks add weight to the crown and can fall at any time. Cocos palms need trimming every 6 to 12 months for this reason.
- 04
Perth ground is different
Sandy soils, limestone and coastal conditions shape how palm roots spread, which affects stump grinding depth, root barriers and whether a palm can be transplanted.
Local palms we know well

How it works
What happens after you call
Every palm tree removal follows the same six steps, from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. The structure is what keeps a tall palm coming down in pieces you can predict.
- 1
Free on-site assessment
We check the palm’s height, trunk condition and lean, plus nearby roofs, fences, pools and power lines.
- 2
Written quote and plan
You get the full price in writing, the removal method we recommend and the expected timeframe. No hidden fees are added later.
- 3
Council check if needed
Some Perth councils protect significant trees or heritage sites. We confirm the correct process with your council before work starts.
- 4
Booked around you
Most jobs are booked within one to two weeks of approval. Storm-damaged and hazardous palms are prioritised.
- 5
Controlled dismantling
The crown comes off first, then the trunk is cut into sections from the top down and lowered by rope, rigging or crane.
- 6
Clean-up and walkthrough
Fronds, trunk sections and green waste are cleared, the area is raked, and we walk the site with you before we leave.
Pricing
What does palm tree removal cost in Perth?
Palm tree removal in Perth generally costs between $150 and $1,500. A small backyard palm with open access sits at the low end, while a tall palm over a roof or pool that needs rigging or a crane sits at the high end.
Because every site is different, Perth Palm Tree Removal Services does not quote blind. The on-site assessment is free, and the written quote lists removal, stump grinding and waste separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Book a free assessment: (08) 7813 3802- Height and trunk width
- Taller, heavier palms take more sections, more time and sometimes a crane or elevated work platform.
- Site access
- Narrow side yards and palms behind pools or sheds are dismantled by hand and rope, which takes longer than open ground.
- What is underneath
- Roofs, fences, pools, driveways and overhead power lines change the rigging and the size of each cut.
- Green waste volume
- Fronds and trunks create a lot of waste. Disposal at approved Perth green waste facilities is included in the quote.
- Stump grinding
- Grinding the stump below ground level is an optional add-on, priced separately so you can choose.
- Condition of the palm
- Dead, diseased or storm-damaged palms need extra planning because they can shift or collapse while being worked on.

FAQ
Questions Perth property owners ask
Costs, council rules, access and clean-up come up on almost every call. These are the answers we give most often.
How much does palm tree removal cost in Perth?
Palm tree removal in Perth generally costs between $150 and $1,500. The price depends on the height of the palm, how easy the site is to access and how much green waste needs to be disposed of. Perth Palm Tree Removal Services arranges a free written quote after an on-site look, so the price is fixed before work begins.
Do I need council approval to remove a palm tree in Perth?
Council approval depends on your local council and on whether the palm is protected under a tree preservation order or heritage listing. Some Perth councils require a permit for significant or established trees, while others allow removal on private residential land without approval. We check your property and confirm the correct process with your council on your behalf.
Can you remove palm trees from tight or difficult access areas?
Yes. Palm specialists regularly work in confined side yards, beside pools, under power lines and in spaces where standard equipment will not fit. The palm is dismantled in smaller sections and lowered by rope or rigging, which avoids damage to fences, pools, retaining walls and neighbouring structures.
Is stump grinding included with palm tree removal?
Stump grinding is an optional add-on rather than a standard inclusion. Palm stumps break down differently to hardwood stumps, so we assess whether grinding or excavation suits your soil and landscaping plans, then list it separately on your quote.
How quickly can a hazardous or storm-damaged palm tree be removed?
Hazardous and storm-damaged palms are treated as priority jobs, and we aim to respond within 24 to 48 hours of your call. A leaning trunk, split fronds or a palm resting on a structure all count as urgent situations.
Do you take away all the fronds, trunks and green waste?
Yes. Full clean-up is part of every job. Trunks, fronds and all resulting green waste are removed, the work area is raked, and the material goes to approved Perth green waste recycling or disposal facilities.
