Trees Down Under removes trees for strata committees and managers across the Hills District. A certified arborist inspects your common property for free, and same-day quoting keeps your scheme moving, with site clean-up included.
Strata tree work differs from a single-home job because the trees sit on common property and the committee answers for them. A dangerous or damaging tree becomes the committee’s liability, and residents expect it to be dealt with.
Roots lifting driveways, branches over rooftops and fallen limbs after storms all land on the strata manager’s desk.
A committee cannot just book a crew. Removing a tree on common property generally requires a Hills Shire Council permit, an arborist report and committee sign-off, so the paperwork has to be right from the start. Skipping a step can lead to compliance issues, unexpected costs and safety risks.
We work with every local council in Sydney. Permits don’t have to be a headache for a committee, as long as the paperwork is sorted before anyone picks up a saw.

Complexes in the Hills District have cars, pedestrians and neighbouring units close to the work area. Trees Down Under takes this burden off the committee by managing the permit, the report and the tree removal service as one job.
Trees Down Under covers full removals, structural pruning, storm damage management, stump grinding and development preparation for strata schemes, with the protections a committee needs built into each one.
Licensed, insured and Cm3 certified. The crew carries the licensing, cover and certification that keep liability off common property and off the committee.
Permit and arborist report guidance. A certified arborist advises on the council permit and arborist report before any removal starts, so the committee knows what is needed first.
Crane-assisted removal. Tight courtyards and hard-access blocks are handled with our own crane fleet, with no extra crane fees, keeping branches clear of buildings and residents.
Trees Down Under has worked across the Hills District since 2005, run from Dural by a team with two generations of arboriculture knowledge behind it. Strata committees get a local crew that already knows the terrain, the vegetation and the way these suburbs are laid out.
Every job is overseen by AQF Level 3 to 5 certified arborists, and the business holds a 4.8/5 rating from more than 182 Google reviews.
Access in a Castle Hill complex is nothing like a semi-rural Dural block, and Norwest’s dense layouts bring their own constraints. Steep ground and mixed native vegetation add another layer, so no two strata jobs are identical.
Work covers Winston Hills, Cherrybrook, Kellyville, Baulkham Hills, Rouse Hill, Beaumont Hills, Castle Hill, Dural and Norwest.
Whether a scheme can remove a tree depends on the species, its size and health, and the rules that apply to the lot. Many trees on common property need a council permit and a supporting arborist report before any work starts, and removing a protected tree without approval can bring penalties. Check the Hills Shire Council requirements for your suburb before booking.
Trees Down Under publishes a Hills District tree removal rules guide that explains which trees can and can’t be removed across the area. Strata managers can use it to work out which trees are likely to need approval and which are less restricted.
A free tree inspection is a practical first step. A certified arborist assesses the tree, advises whether a permit is likely to be needed, and can prepare the arborist report. Quoting is prompt, and same-day wherever possible, so the committee has clear numbers to take to a meeting.
Strata schemes often need more than a single removal, so these related services can be booked together on the same visit to common property.
