Advanced trees, expertly grown. Carefully delivered. Properly planted
The Ellenby promise
Advanced trees, expertly grown. Carefully delivered. Properly planted
For most landscape projects, the tree is the easy part. The hard part is getting a fifteen-metre, threetonne advanced tree from a nursery shelf into a finished landscape, alive, upright, and looking the way it should. That’s the work we've built our business around. Ellenby is one of the only growers in Western Australia that owns the complete chain: the nursery, the trucks, the equipment, the planting crews, and the aftercare guidance. It means fewer hand-offs, fewer surprises, and a single team accountable for the result.
Properly planted. From the moment a tree leaves our Gnangara nursery to the moment it's standing in your landscape, every step is handled by Ellenby people, on Ellenby trucks, with Ellenby equipment. Three decades of horticultural know-how, a purpose, built fleet, and crews who treat each tree as if it were going into their own garden, that's what end-to-end means here.
A delivery that goes well looks effortless. The truck pulls up at the agreed time, the trees come off undamaged, and they're placed where they need to be. That's the result of dozens of decisions made before the wheels start turning — and a fleet, equipment, and crew built specifically for the job.
Supply
What our supply service includes:
-
From a working display nursery, not a digital catalogue, see the actual tree before you commit.
-
On species, form, and suitability for your site's soil, aspect, and climate
-
For high-volume or hard-to-source lines, securing supply for projects up to three years out
-
Coordination with third-party nurseries where a project calls for stock we don't grow ourselves.
-
We have capacity for projects at scale to tagging, holding, and staged release for staged construction programmes.
Deliver
A delivery that goes well looks effortless. The truck pulls up at the agreed time, the trees come off undamaged, and they're placed where they need to be. That's the result of dozens of decisions made before the wheels start turning — and a fleet, equipment, and crew built specifically for the job.
What our delivery service covers:
-
Route and delivery planning matched to tree size, site access, and ground conditions
Pre-delivery coordination with your site contact to confirm access points, drop-off positions, and on-site requirements
Consolidation of stock from approved third-party nurseries into a single coordinated delivery wherever practical
-
Careful loading using the right equipment to protect canopy structure and rootball integrity
Secure, legally compliant transport — correct load restraint, weight distribution, and permits where required
Efficient load design to minimise handling and make best use of truck capacity
-
Ongoing monitoring during transport to reduce stress, movement, or damage to stock
Specialised vehicles built for advanced tree sizes — not general freight trucks fitted out as an afterthought
-
Safe, controlled unloading with clear communication between driver and your site contact
Placement of trees as close as practical to their final planting position to reduce double handling
Kerbside or agreed on-site positioning, aligned with site access, traffic management, and safety requirements
-
Skilled use of cranes, hiabs, forklifts, and bespoke lifting gear to maintain tree structure and root integrity
Controlled movement from truck to final position, with minimal impact on tree health
Install
A tree that's been grown well and delivered well still needs to be planted properly. Our planting crews have put thousands of advanced trees into the ground across Perth and WA — and the difference shows in the trees that establish quickly, hold their form, and need less remedial work in the years that follow.
What our planting service covers:
-
DescripSite assessment for access, soil condition, drainage, and overall planting suitability
Tree set-out and positioning in line with your plans or brief
Soil improvement recommendations and application where requiredtion text goes here
-
Correct hole preparation for the species and soil type
Rootball inspection and preparation before placement
Accurate planting depth — one of the most common causes of long-term tree decline when done wrong
Tree orientation chosen for best structure, form, and presentation from the principal viewing angle
Backfilling with suitable soil and proper compaction to eliminate air pockets
-
Installation of appropriate staking systems where required
Tie placement that allows natural movement while ensuring stability
Adjustments based on site exposure, prevailing winds, and tree size
-
Thorough watering-in at the time of planting
Mulch applied to correct depth and kept clear of the trunk (where included in scope)
Initial watering guidance tailored to species and seasonal conditions
-
Clean and tidy finish to the planting area
Final quality check for alignment, stability, and presentation before our crew leaves site
-
Clear handover instructions for watering and ongoing care
Establishment advice specific to species and site conditions
Optional follow-up maintenance and support services
New service:
Third-party tree freight
Sometimes a project draws stock from more than one nursery; yours, ours, and others. Coordinating multiple pickups, multiple trucks, and multiple handlers usually means trees treated like general freight, with the wear and tear that brings.
Our third-party freight service is built for those projects. Ellenby acts as your specialist courier, collecting trees from any approved nursery in the Perth metro area and delivering them to your site using the same vehicles, equipment, and standards we use for our own stock. One booking, one point of accountability, and trees handled the way trees should be.
How it works:
Tell us where the trees are coming from and where they need to go. We coordinate pickup directly with each nursery and consolidate the load. We deliver to your site using our specialist fleet and crews. You receive a single invoice and a single contact for the entire job.
Try it: 50% credit on your first booking
To make trying the service easy, we're offering new freight customers a 50% credit on their first booking. Pay full price for the first job; when it's complete, you'll receive a credit equal to half the job value, applied to your next freight booking with us.
Worked example: First booking $600. Credit returned $300. Use $300 against your next freight job.
Please note: One offer per customer. Credit applies to freight bookings only — not to tree purchases. Standard Ellenby supply + delivery [where the trees are ours] is a separate service and is unaffected by this offer.
