New estates and old red gums, cared for in Whittlesea
Melbourne's northern growth corridor is a place of real contrast. Newer suburbs like Mernda, South Morang and parts of Epping are filled with young street trees and freshly planted gardens still finding their feet, while established areas such as Lalor and Thomastown carry decades-old fruit trees and big exotics in much-loved backyards. Out towards the Plenty Valley, scattered River Red Gums still stand on the old grazing plains.
The Yard works right across Whittlesea with a tree team that suits the work to the tree's stage of life. In the newer estates that often means formative pruning to set young trees up well, while in the older suburbs it is fruit tree pruning, crown work on big exotics and the occasional removal. We turn up on time, work tidily on smaller blocks and take the green waste with us.

From new estates to old red gums: tree work across Whittlesea
The growth suburbs bring their own needs. Young trees in Mernda, South Morang and Epping benefit from early shaping so they grow strong and clear of fences, eaves and the neighbours, and that early attention saves bigger problems later. On the exposed northern plains the wind gets up, so we also keep an eye on young and semi-mature trees that can lean or lift in a blow.
In Lalor, Thomastown and Mill Park the gardens are older and more productive, often with generous fruit trees, olives and mature exotics planted by families over many years. These respond well to regular pruning to keep them fruiting, safe and in shape. Further out, the old River Red Gums scattered across the district are significant trees that can drop large limbs, so they are worth checking over and deadwooding rather than leaving to chance.
- Formative pruning for young street and garden trees across Mernda, South Morang and Epping.
- Fruit tree and exotic pruning in the established gardens of Lalor, Thomastown and Mill Park.
- Deadwooding and limb checks on the district's old River Red Gums.
- Storm and wind response on the exposed northern plains, including 24/7 emergency tree removal.

Real reviews from The Yard customers on Google.
"Straight forward process, extremely reasonable pricing. Haris was easy to deal with. Very professional, came with the right machinery. Great work boys!!"
"Haris is no fuss. Met on a Friday and he provided advice and a prompt quote. Next day he arrived with his team and performed the job safely, skillfully, efficiently and cleaned up entirely before leaving. We can recommend him."
"The boys did a great job in a very awkward location in the backyard on a 10 meter gum tree. Their price was competitive and they even took the mulch to our community garden and unloaded in a difficult spot without complaint."
