Canopy Tree Experts

Our Story

In 1986, Bruno Wright and Phil Griffiths took a chance, purchasing ACT Tree Felling and Skyline Tree Surgery (South Coast). Having worked in both businesses beforehand, they knew exactly what they wanted to build: a company with high standards, proper qualifications, and genuine care for Canberra's urban forest.

What started as one of the first qualified arborist businesses in the ACT has grown into the region's most trusted name in tree care, but our values haven't changed one bit.

Reach Out

When I started in this industry, we had no education, no safety harnesses, no chippers, and no protective equipment. Through hard work and dedication, Canopy has helped the ACT arbor industry develop a safer and more mature tree care culture, and I'm proud of every step of that journey.

What Drives Us

Our Values

We've been pioneering arboriculture in the ACT since the beginning. We were among the first to introduce formal qualifications, safety harnesses and rope climbing, wood chippers, stump grinders, and tree management plans to the region.

Bruno was one of the first arborists in Australia to study under world-renowned tree biologist Dr Alex Shigo in the USA, bringing cutting-edge knowledge of tree biology back to Canberra at a time when it was almost unheard of here.

We're members of ISA Australia and continue to invest in education and training across the whole team.

We are here to provide you with solutions for any tree related problems. From power line clearing and tree felling to diagnosing pest and disease problems and providing solutions.

What Our Clients Say

Customer Reviews

Thank you guys, for your unbelievable help and expertise! You did a fantastic job on our beloved 120+ years old gum tree — showing her the care and attention that she deserves. Your approach to, and completion of the job was fantastic, and certainly a massive stress reduction.

Piers Smith

We had difficulties with getting permission from ACT authorities regarding removing or pruning a liquidambar tree in our backyard. Bruno helped us navigate these problems and the team did an excellent job removing hanging branches and pruning other fragile ones to make the backyard a safer place.

Paul Myer

Their Administrative Professionalism was, quite frankly, without peer. The quality of their quotation process, work scheduling, and the quality of the work itself was excellent. The staff on site were friendly and responsive. Highly recommended.
