Are these bold words implied in the following way?

Nothing is more beautiful than walking down a long road (which is) lined with trees (which are) full of leaves of different colours and textures.

I wrote it.

"Nothing is more beautiful than walking down a long road lined with trees full of leaves of different colours and textures."

Sounds OK to me. If you wanted to be more explicit, you could well put "which is/are", but doing that twice in quick succession sounds a little clunky.

Can we say "...full of leaves with different ..." or will this change the meaning?

It won't change the meaning but it's better to use of, not with.
