Amazing work from Hollywood Tree. Brett came highly recommended and did not disappoint. As well as being a highly skilled arborist Brett's dedication to quality work shows. All jobs were tackled in expert fashion. Skillful, efficient and never a mess left behind.

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.

We had Brett came and remove a 70ft tree that was dying. I was amazed at the skill and speed that he worked. They landed the tree exactly where they planned and didn’t hit the fences or gates. When they left the driveway was tidier than when they arrived. So completely thrilled with the job that was done!

I would highly recommend Brett at Hollywood Tree Company. I have personally used him now for some fruit tree pruning and blueberry plant shaping.
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.

Brett came out the other day to trim some trees for not only myself but 2 of our neighbours as well at the same time and did an amazing by job. His knowledge and passion for what he does shines through when talking about how to best care for our fruit trees.

I highly recommend Brett for caring for your trees in your yard and will be calling him yearly to look after our fruit trees.

Brett did an amazing job at trimming and cleaning up my hedges and large shrubs in preperation to sell my house. The job was done efficiently and the clean up was great! Highly recommend and will use again!!

We are so happy with the work Brett has done. He really listened to both our issues with some of the trees and vision for our property. He presented a detailed plan that made sense to us, explained his approach and then followed through with all the work we needed.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Do Tree Services Cost?

Our Nanaimo Tree Trimming Services pricing is determined by a number of factors. We provide Value-Based estimates based on:

  • Overall biomass (height + diameter + species + condition)
  • Visible and Invisible Hazards / Targets 
  • Proximity to power/communication lines, fixed building/structures
  • Equipment required to efficiently complete a job
  • Amount of labour involved
  • Team size 

Our Tree Services cover mainly the Nanaimo-area, from Lantzville to Ladysmith. If you’re interested in custom live edge wood processing and furniture, we’re happy to come to you.

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.

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.
