True Roots does commercial tree removal, site clearing and programmed tree care for builders, developers, property and facilities managers, strata committees, schools and councils across Sydney. Our own AQF Level 5 arborists, our own excavator, loader, chipper and tip trucks, and the paperwork your safety and procurement teams need — sent with the quote, not chased afterwards.
Commercial work is judged on reliability and compliance as much as on the cutting. We turn up when we said, work around your program and your tenants, protect what has to stay, and close the job out with documentation and a proper invoice.
Tree removal and vegetation clearing for builds, subdivisions and development sites, coordinated with your program and your permits. Own excavator, loader, chipper and tip trucks, so the block is cleared and carted in one mobilisation. See land clearing.
TPZ and SRZ set out to AS 4970, protective fencing and ground protection installed, works inside the zone supervised, and the final certification at completion. Our AQF Level 5 arborist can hold the Project Arborist role named in your consent. See tree protection zones.
Removal, pruning and hazard reduction for commercial properties, car parks, schools, retail and industrial sites, scheduled around trading hours and tenants.
Arborist assessments and documented risk management so a duty holder has evidence rather than opinion behind the decision. See arborist reports.
24/7 response to fallen and dangerous trees affecting access, safety or operations, including make-safe works and reports for the insurer. See emergency tree removal.
Scheduled inspections and pruning cycles for portfolios and strata schemes, with one contact, one program and one invoice. See strata tree management.
Roadside, asset-protection and powerline vegetation work for councils, utilities and facilities managers on programmed contracts. See vegetation management.
Where roots threaten paving, footings or services, root investigation and engineered root barriers often keep the tree and satisfy council. See root barriers.
Commercial jobs are quoted on estimated crew-days, not guesswork. Each quote is built from the crew size, the plant on site and the number of days. The quote states the number of days, so your PM or QS can check it against the program instead of taking a lump sum on faith.
Where an AQF Level 5 arborist report, an Arboricultural Impact Assessment or TPZ certification is required, it is quoted as its own line — usually $1,500–$2,000 ex GST — never buried inside the tree work. Traffic management, after-hours access and out-of-hours premiums are itemised separately, so nothing turns up later as a variation.
True Roots holds an Asplundh contract for powerline vegetation management in regional NSW. Our crews are authorised for the Essential Energy, Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks, and hold ESI Certificate II and current first aid. If your site has conductors overhead — service lines, street mains or rural feeders — we plan the job to the network rules and supply the paperwork to match.
Certificate of currency supplied with the quote, not after you ask for it.
Current certificate of currency supplied for every crew that attends site.
Safe Work Method Statements written for the actual job and supplied before we mobilise.
Audited quality management system, which is increasingly a prerequisite on tender panels.
Site inductions completed and traffic management arranged where the works need it.
True Roots is an Indigenous-owned business, which can count toward Indigenous procurement targets on government and tier-one contracts.
Site clearing, tree protection and staged tree work that fits the construction program and satisfies the consent conditions.
Hazard reduction, scheduled pruning and rapid response across a portfolio, with documentation for each site.
Assessments and reports a committee can act on, then the works, with one contact and one invoice.
Contract tree and vegetation services, ISO 9001 certified, Indigenous-owned and fully insured.
An AQF Level 5 arborist walks the site, scopes the works and gives you a fixed written price your team can approve and budget.
SWMS, insurances, inductions and traffic management organised and supplied before we mobilise.
Qualified crews complete the job safely and to your program, protecting the site, the people and anything being retained.
Site cleared and tidied, photographs supplied, documentation and a clear invoice to close the job out.
It is priced on crew-days: the quote states the crew, the plant and the number of days, so it can be checked against the program. The quote states the number of days so it can be checked against your program. Arborist reports and TPZ certification are quoted as separate lines, usually $1,500–$2,000 ex GST. Traffic management and after-hours work are itemised, not hidden.
Yes. We clear blocks and industrial sites with our own excavator, tracked loader, chipper and tip trucks, so vegetation is felled, chipped and carted in one mobilisation rather than three. Where trees are being retained we set out the Tree Protection Zones to AS 4970 first and supervise any works inside them.
Yes. Our AQF Level 5 consulting arborist holds the qualification councils specify for the Project Arborist role under a DA consent, and can prepare the Arboricultural Impact Assessment, set out and monitor the Tree Protection Zones through construction, and provide the final certification at completion.
Yes. $20M public liability and icare workers compensation, with certificates of currency supplied alongside the quote, and site-specific Safe Work Method Statements provided before we mobilise. Inductions and traffic management are arranged where the works need them.
Yes. We coordinate timing with your build or your operations, manage access and safety, and keep the job moving so we are not the trade holding up the program.
Yes. Retail, school and tenanted sites are often best done outside operating hours. After-hours and out-of-hours work is quoted as its own line so you can see exactly what the timing costs.
Yes. Clear written quotes and proper invoicing suited to commercial and trade clients, with the documentation attached to close the job out.
Yes, where the works require it. Traffic control and any road or footpath permits are arranged and quoted as their own line rather than absorbed into the tree work.
Yes. For portfolios, strata schemes and facilities we set up scheduled inspections and pruning cycles, so hazards are found on a program rather than after a failure.
