Choosing the right tree for your driveway can transform your property's entrance while providing shade, privacy, and year-round beauty. Whether you're looking for the stunning autumn colours of deciduous trees, the year-round structure of evergreens, or the unique character of Australian natives, this guide will help you select the perfect driveway tree for your Ballarat property.

All trees listed are suitable for our cold climate conditions and can handle the frosts and temperature variations we experience in the Central Highlands. Consider your available space, desired height, and whether you prefer seasonal colour or evergreen foliage when making your selection.
