Professional Tree Planting, Cutting & Felling Services in Melbourne
Trees are a big commitment, both when they go in and when they have to come out. Plant the wrong species too close to the house and you’re dealing with lifted paving and blocked drains a few years down the track. Leave a dead or overgrown tree standing, and it becomes a hazard every time the wind picks up. Getting it right, whether that’s putting new trees in or safely taking old ones down, takes proper know-how and the right gear.
At Northern Lawn Mowers, we handle tree planting, cutting and felling for homes and businesses across Greenvale, Kalkallo, Craigieburn and the surrounding northern suburbs. We’ll plant the right tree in the right spot to suit your soil and space, cut back what’s overgrown, and take down trees that have had their day. Every job is done safely, with the mess cleared and the site left clean.

Residential & Commercial Tree Services
For homeowners, that might mean planting a shade tree, cutting back a limb hanging over the roof, or removing a tree that’s become a risk. For commercial sites, rental properties, body corporates and aged care facilities, it means keeping grounds safe, clearing dangerous or dying trees, and managing plantings across the property. Whatever the job, we’ll assess it honestly and tell you the safest way to get it done.
Getting started is simple. Call us on +61 430 950 017, message us on WhatsApp, or fill in the quote form and we’ll get back to you. Tell us your suburb and what you need done, and we’ll come and take a look before giving you an honest price.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree?
Often, yes. Many councils across Melbourne’s north have rules protecting established and native trees, and removing one without approval can land you a fine. We’ll let you know if the tree looks like it may be protected, but checking with your local council is always the safe first step.
Which trees should I plant in my yard?
It comes down to your space, soil and what you want from the tree, shade, screening, colour or fruit. The big thing is planting well clear of the house, drains and fences so it doesn’t cause problems as it matures. We’ll recommend species that suit the conditions here in Melbourne’s north.
Can you remove a large or dangerous tree?
We handle a range of tree cutting and felling, but very large, hazardous or hard-to-access trees can be a job for a qualified arborist with specialist equipment. If yours is in that category, we’ll tell you straight rather than take on something that isn’t safe to do.
What's the difference between cutting back and felling?
Cutting back means removing limbs or reducing a tree’s size while keeping it standing. Felling is taking the whole tree down. We do both, and we’ll advise which one your situation actually calls for, since a good cut-back can sometimes save a tree that looks past it.
Do you grind or remove the stump as well?
That depends on the job and the equipment needed. Let us know if you want the stump gone when you book, and we’ll factor it into the quote rather than leaving you with a trip hazard in the lawn.
Do you clean up all the branches and debris?
Yes, we clear the lot, branches, offcuts and leaf litter, and haul it away, so you’re not left with a pile of timber to deal with once the tree’s down.
