About us

A qualified arborist who gets it right

The Living Canopy is run by Alex Price — a qualified arborist with over a decade of experience across the UK and Australia. Before moving to Sydney, Alex co-directed Watson & Price Tree Services in the UK, working on prestigious projects including National Trust estates.

We believe great arboriculture is about caring for trees, not just removing them. Where pruning is the right answer, that's what we'll recommend — honestly, even when it means less work for us.
