Tree Care for Surrey Hills' Character Homes
Surrey Hills is a character-rich suburb with Federation and Edwardian homes, tree-lined streets and a strong heritage feel. The established canopy — oaks, elms, plane trees and gums — is part of what gives the area its sense of place.
Leafy Tree Care provides comprehensive tree services across Surrey Hills. From routine maintenance on mature specimens to certified arborist reports for heritage overlays, we bring the experience and care that the area's trees deserve.

🏛️ Boroondara Council Permits — We Handle the Paperwork
Surrey Hills is within the City of Boroondara, which has strict tree protection rules — particularly around heritage and canopy 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. We'll advise on permit requirements and prepare the arborist report if needed.
