Tree Care for Canterbury's Heritage Streetscapes
Canterbury is known for its heritage character — grand Victorian and Edwardian homes, wide tree-lined streets, and some of the most significant mature trees in Melbourne's east. The oaks, elms and plane trees along streets like Mont Albert Road, Canterbury Road and Wattle Valley Road have stood for a century or more.
Leafy Tree Care provides expert tree services across Canterbury — from formative pruning on young plantings to careful heritage tree management, stump grinding, hedge trimming, and arborist reports for council applications. Every job is completed with the precision a heritage streetscape demands.

🏛️ Boroondara Council Permits — We Handle the Paperwork
Canterbury is within the City of Boroondara, which enforces strict tree protection rules particularly around heritage and significant trees. Canopy trees with a trunk circumference of 110cm or more (measured 1.5m above ground) typically require a permit before removal or significant pruning, and many trees in Canterbury carry additional heritage overlays. We'll assess your situation and guide you through the process — at no extra charge.
