About True Roots
A Sydney arborist and landscaping business built on real site work.
True Roots is a qualified arborist Sydney clients rely on — a Mortdale based team helping homeowners, strata, builders and commercial clients solve tree, landscape and vegetation problems with practical care.
Who we are
Small enough to care, serious enough to handle demanding jobs.
True Roots started as a hands-on tree and outdoor care business and is being built into a stronger Sydney brand with better systems, stronger pages and a clearer service offering.
The business is positioned for clients who want more than the cheapest operator. That means better communication, clear advice, safe work methods and a result that makes the property easier to live with, sell, rent, build on or maintain.

The qualified arborist Sydney properties keep calling back
Being a qualified arborist Sydney wide means more than owning a chainsaw.
Our qualified arborist Sydney team holds AQF Level 5 arboriculture qualifications for consulting and reporting, AQF Level 3 for climbing and practical works, and current insurance to $20M — the paperwork councils, strata managers and builders check before anyone touches a tree. True Roots is also an Indigenous-owned business and an LGCA approved supplier, with quality systems certified to ISO 9001.
Most of our work comes through repeat clients and referrals across the St George area, Sutherland Shire down to Cronulla, the North Shore and Western Sydney. That only happens when jobs are quoted straight, run safely and left clean. Industry bodies like Arboriculture Australia set the standards we work to, and every crew member is trained against them.
Why the name True Roots Trees & Landscapes
The business began as True Roots Pty Ltd and grew from tree removals into full landscaping — so the trading name now says exactly what we do: trees and landscapes, done properly, by the same accountable local team.
What you can expect on every job
Every enquiry gets a straight answer from a qualified arborist Sydney homeowners can actually speak to — not a call centre. We quote from photos or a site walk, explain what the council will and will not allow, and put the scope in writing.
On the day, the crew arrives with the right gear for the job, from climbers and rigging through to our loader and chippers, works to AS 4373 pruning standards, and leaves the site cleaner than we found it. Afterwards you get photos of the completed work and any reports your records need.
If something is outside our lane, we say so early and point you to the right specialist — that honesty is why a qualified arborist Sydney clients trust ends up doing their landscaping, hedges and stump grinding too.
