Morrison Tree Care

Run by Dan, a qualified arborist and horticulturist with more than ten years in the tree and horticulture trade, Morrison Tree Care is a family-run business working out of Eltham in Melbourne's leafy north east. That mix of arboriculture and horticulture shapes how the jobs get approached: the health and long-term shape of a tree carry as much weight as the cut on the day, and the arborists on the team are ISA approved and qualified.

Morrison Tree Care handles tree removal and tree pruning, reading the structure of a tree and the space around it before anything comes down. Regular pruning keeps growth off roofs, powerlines and gutters, and lifts the canopy where light and clearance matter. Deadwood removal takes out the dead, split and hanging limbs that turn into a hazard once a cold front rolls through, keeping mature trees safer over a Melbourne winter.

Hedging keeps boundary planting, screens and formal hedges in shape, and stump grinding deals with what a removal leaves behind, taking the stump back below ground so the spot can be lawned, replanted or paved. The team also fits possum guards, a practical job on Eltham's older blocks where possums use big trees as a route between roofs.

As a family-run outfit, the business runs on repeat work and word of mouth around the north east, so a clean site at the end of the day, careful work near fences and gardens, and a straight answer about what a tree actually needs all count. Dan is the one you deal with, which keeps the quoting and the work under the one name.

Morrison Tree Care covers a wide stretch of Melbourne's north east, including Eltham, Diamond Creek, Hurstbridge, Wattle Glen, Yarrambat, Yarra Glen, Templestowe, Lower Plenty, Mernda, Doreen and Arthurs Creek, along with Montmorency, Greensborough, Warrandyte, Doncaster and the surrounding suburbs. The team works Monday to Saturday and can be reached on 0416 566 927 or by email.
