Certified arborist reports for council DAs, tree removal permits, construction projects, and property disputes. Trusted by councils across Sydney.
Qualified consulting arborists for all report types
Reports accepted by all Sydney councils
Most reports delivered within 5-7 business days
Need an arborist report for a development application, tree removal permit, or insurance claim? True Roots provides comprehensive arborist reports prepared by qualified consulting arborists that meet council requirements across all Sydney local government areas.
Our reports cover tree health assessments, risk evaluations, tree protection plans for construction, and recommendations for management or removal. Each report is thorough, objective, and backed by on-site inspection and professional analysis.
We understand what councils look for. A poorly prepared report gets rejected and delays your project. Our arborists know the local regulations, use standardised assessment methods, and present findings clearly so your application moves through the approval process without hold-ups.
Different situations require different report types. We prepare all common arborist reports needed across Sydney.
Arborist impact assessments required with development applications. We document every tree on site, assess impact, and provide retention or removal recommendations.
Independent tree risk assessments using TRAQ methodology. Essential for identifying hazardous trees and establishing management priorities for property owners.
Detailed plans specifying tree protection zones, construction methods, and monitoring schedules to ensure retained trees survive the building process.
From initial enquiry to final report delivery, we keep the process simple and transparent.
Tell us what you need — DA, removal permit, risk assessment — and we'll confirm the right report type and pricing.
Our arborist visits the property, inspects each tree, takes measurements, and photographs all relevant details.
We compile the data into a professional report that meets your council's specific requirements and standards.
You receive a digital and printed report. We're available to answer council questions or attend meetings if needed.
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.
Arborist reports in Sydney typically range from $400 for a single tree assessment to $2,000+ for full DA reports covering multiple trees. Price depends on the number of trees, property size, and report complexity. Contact us for an exact quote.
Most arborist reports are delivered within 5 to 7 business days from the site inspection. Urgent reports can be arranged within 2 to 3 business days for an additional fee. Large or complex projects may take longer.
Most Sydney councils require an arborist report if the tree is protected (usually above a certain height or trunk diameter). The report supports your application by documenting why removal is justified — whether for safety, health, or development reasons.
Consulting arborists should hold a minimum AQF Level 5 Diploma in Arboriculture. This ensures the arborist has the training and knowledge to provide accurate assessments that councils accept. All True Roots consulting arborists meet this standard.
