Strata Tree Services Sydney
Reliable, insured tree management for strata, body corporate and apartment complexes — tight-access work, clear quotes for the committee, and minimal disruption to residents.
Tree management strata committees can rely on.
True Roots looks after trees for strata schemes, body corporates, townhouse complexes and apartment buildings across Sydney. We provide clear quotes and arborist reports for the committee or manager, work safely in tight common-property settings, and keep disruption to residents to a minimum.
Strata tree work has its own challenges — shared boundaries, limited access, parked cars, resident safety and the need for clear documentation for the committee and insurer. We handle all of it: assessment, written recommendations, scheduling notices and the works themselves.
From a single hazardous tree over a carport to a full common-property maintenance program, we make it easy for managers and owners corporations to keep trees safe, compliant and looking after themselves.

Whose tree is it — and who approves the work?
Strata tree work comes with its own questions: common property versus lot, shared boundaries, by-laws, council approval and insurer expectations. We make it clear so the committee can act with confidence.
As a general guide, trees growing on common property are usually the owners corporation’s responsibility, while a tree inside a lot may be the owner’s — but it depends on the strata plan and by-laws, so it’s worth confirming before works are approved. Boundary and neighbour trees add another layer. A clear AQF Level 5 arborist report sets out the condition, the risk and the recommended works, which makes committee decisions, budgets and insurer conversations straightforward.
Most Sydney councils — including Georges River, Sutherland Shire, Bayside and Canterbury-Bankstown — also protect trees over a certain size on common property, so some works need approval. We’ll tell you what applies, prepare any report required, and lodge the application on the scheme’s behalf.
Every scheme is different — so is every quote.
We don’t do flat rates. We assess each tree and site on its own access, risk and protocols, then give the committee a clear fixed price and a written recommendation to approve. No call-out fee, no surprises at the AGM.
Site & access
Tight common-property access, carports, parking and shared boundaries all shape how the work is done.
Tree size & risk
A small hedge differs from a large, failing tree over a building — each is treated with the right protocols.

Clear AQF Level 5 recommendations and options so the committee and insurer can decide and budget.
Scheduling & notices
We coordinate timing and resident notices to keep disruption to parking and daily life low.
