Tree Care for Richmond's Inner-City Gardens
Richmond combines inner-city density with surprising pockets of established tree cover — the plane trees along Bridge Road, the mature gums in the terraces near Burnley, and the ornamental plantings that grace renovated Victorian cottages throughout the suburb.
Leafy Tree Care provides expert tree services across Richmond, Burnley and Abbotsford — tree removal, pruning, hedge trimming, stump grinding, and arborist reports for Yarra Council applications or renovation projects.

🏛️ Yarra Council Permits — We Handle the Paperwork
Richmond is within the City of Yarra, which has strong tree protection rules and tree preservation requirements. Many significant trees are protected, and permits are typically required before removal or significant pruning. We'll check council requirements, assess your tree, and prepare a certified arborist report if needed.
Why Locals Choose Us
Why Richmond Residents Trust Leafy Tree Care
Richmond jobs often involve tight access — narrow laneways, close neighbours, and trees in small but densely planted gardens. Our team brings the patience and precision that inner-city work requires, and we coordinate carefully to minimise disruption.
We carry $20M in public liability insurance, hold current arboricultural qualifications, and provide detailed written quotes. Clean-up is always included.
