Tree Care for Caulfield's Established Gardens
Caulfield is characterised by Edwardian homes, mature street trees and established family gardens. Streets around Caulfield Park, Glen Huntly Road, Hawthorn Road and the Racecourse precinct feature significant oaks, elms, plane trees and established ornamental plantings. Glen Eira Council's Significant Tree Register protects key specimens across the suburb.
Leafy Tree Care provides comprehensive tree services across Caulfield and Caulfield North — tree removal, heritage tree pruning, hedge trimming, stump grinding, and arborist reports for Glen Eira Council applications.

🏛️ Glen Eira Council Permits — The Local Rules
Caulfield is within the City of Glen Eira, which enforces tree protection rules through its planning scheme and Significant Tree Register.
Glen Eira's Significant Tree Register lists individually protected trees across Caulfield — any work on a listed tree requires council approval regardless of size.
Parts of Caulfield are covered by Heritage Overlays (HO) — particularly the area around Caulfield Park and Hawthorn Road. Significant Landscape Overlays (SLO) apply to streets with distinctive canopy character. Properties near the Racecourse may have additional planning controls.
We'll check whether your tree is listed, identify applicable overlays, and handle the council process on your behalf.
