Arborist in Kew

Kew is where Melbourne's inner east meets the river. Blocks back onto Yarra Bend and Studley Park bushland, streets climb and fall with the terrain, and the trees are a genuine mix: remnant river red gums alongside the oaks, elms and golden elms of the suburb's grand old gardens.

The terrain is half the job in Kew. Steep sites, limited machinery access and big, old trees mean rope-based climbing work is often the only sensible approach. Jordan assesses each tree on its own merits (health, structure, and how it's coping with its site) and carries out pruning, support systems or dismantling with the same methodical process every time.

The trees Jordan sees around Kew

Near the river, keep an eye out for river red gums, their smooth cream-and-grey mottled trunks often centuries old, and the tall, rough-barked yellow box on the ridgelines. The garden streets are classic Boroondara: English oaks, elms (including golden elms glowing lime-green in summer), planes and pin oaks. Some of Melbourne's most impressive private trees stand in Kew's older gardens.
