Leafy Tree Care

Leafy Tree Care is a Boroondara-based tree services business run by directors Chris and Henry, with Zac as lead arborist and a crew of Cert III qualified arborists. The team works across Melbourne's inner east and takes a straightforward, tidy approach to tree work, with no mess left behind. Local knowledge of council rules and heritage trees runs through the way they quote and plan jobs.

Tree removal is central to the business, from hazardous or dead trees to ones that have simply outgrown a suburban block, taken down safely in tight spaces. For storm-damaged or fallen trees, emergency tree removal provides a rapid, safe response, and the team does its best to reach genuine emergencies seven days a week. On larger jobs, land and site clearing opens up blocks ahead of building, landscaping or fire preparation.

For trees staying in place, tree pruning and trimming keeps canopies healthy and clear of buildings and lines, and hedge trimming keeps hedges and screens neat. Because so many local streets carry protected and significant trees, heritage tree care is a specialty, looking after older trees within council requirements. The team also handles tree planting and permits, helping owners choose and plant the right tree and sort the paperwork that goes with removals and new plantings.

After the cutting is done, stump grinding takes stumps out below ground, and green waste and wood chipping turns branches into chip rather than carting it to landfill. Leafy Tree Care also prepares arborist reports for councils, permits and disputes, and offers a service few others do: tree-bound beehive removal, drawing on director Henry's beekeeping background to relocate bees safely rather than destroy them.
