Menai is a family-friendly suburb nestled between bushland reserves and the Georges River. Its elevated position and surrounding native vegetation make it one of the Shire's most scenic areas — but also one where tree management is critical for both safety and bushfire preparedness.
Properties around Menai Marketplace, along Old Illawarra Road, and backing onto Bangor Bypass frequently need tree work. We've cleared fire-risk vegetation behind homes near Lucas Heights, removed massive gums threatening rooflines in Menai Central, and managed storm damage along Menai Road after severe weather events.

I recently hired True Roots to remove a large gum tree from my property, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From the initial consultation to the final clean-up, the team was professional, efficient, and careful.
Highly recommend. James and the boys did an amazing job cutting down a large tree in my yard. Super professional, efficient, and left everything clean and tidy. Will definitely call again for any future tree work.
True Roots removed two large trees and ground the stumps all in one day. Great communication from start to finish, fair pricing, and the site was spotless when they left. Highly recommend for anyone in the Shire.
