Working in Como requires a careful touch. Many properties along Como Parade and the streets running down to the river have significant trees with heritage value. When removal is necessary — due to disease, structural failure, or safety concerns — our arborists complete a thorough assessment and handle the Sutherland Shire Council permit process. We've worked on some of Como's most challenging jobs, including large tree removals on steep, waterfront blocks with limited access.
Not every tree problem requires removal. But when safety, property damage, or development is involved, professional removal is the right call.

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.
Como falls under Sutherland Shire Council, which protects trees meeting certain size thresholds. In most cases, you'll need a permit to remove a tree above 3 metres in height or with a trunk circumference exceeding certain limits. True Roots handles the entire permit application process, including preparation of the required arborist report.
Tree removal costs in Como typically range from $500 for small trees to $5,000+ for large or complex removals. Pricing depends on the tree's size, species, location, access, and proximity to structures or power lines. We provide free on-site quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
