How can I tell if my tree is dying?
Sometimes it is difficult to tell if a tree is dying, but here are some things to look out for:
- Dead leaves or no leaves when there should be healthy growth
- The tree is no longer standing as straight as it was
- Excessive amount of broken branches
- Bark is falling off the tree
- Visible rot or fungus
- Unchecked termites and pests
- Damaged roots
If you have any suspicions your tree might be dying, give us a call. We’re ISA-Certified in Tree Risk Assessment and can perform a professional inspection.
Can You Turn My Tree Into Furniture?
Absolutely! We specialize in processing trees removed from your property into custom furniture or products.
The tree determines the type of products that can be made, so we can help you consider your options.
What’s the Difference Between Pruning and Trimming?
While they share a lot of similarities, pruning is the act of reshaping and managing the trees growth, and trimming is the ongoing care and maintenance of the plant to maximize health and growth.

A pleasure to work with Brett is easy to communicate with and has great vision of how the project will progress. After the job he follows up to sure everything is good and even helps coordinate other contractors. 10/10 workmanship 12/10 human being.
Being a realtor i have also referred him to a couple clients who have had him back multiple times which is a testament to his quality of work.
I love having someone so relaible, combined with providing quality work and exceptional customer service.
I highly recommend Brett for caring for your trees in your yard and will be calling him yearly to look after our fruit trees.
He was a pleasure to deal with and has left a beautiful and lasting effect on our half acre waterfront property consisting of Garry Oak, Arbutus, broad leaf maple and Douglas fir trees.
I highly recommend Holly Wood Tree Removal for any and all tree service needs.
