No More Mowing

Tired of mowing your lawn all the time?

We design yards, gardens and walkways to be practical and sustainable. We work with the natural contours and materials of your space, and build functional spaces that cut down on maintenance requirements.

Rock Gardens and Walkways

We build rock gardens, and natural walkways using flagstone, woodchips, river rock, pea gravel and more. Diamond may be forever, but rock is a lot cheaper.

Custom Natural Wood Features

We incorporate unique wood features into your space, like beach logs and wood accents, or build natural live edge outdoor wooden furniture.

Deer- and Drought-Resistant Yards

We design landscapes ideal for Nanaimo’s flora and fauna. We use hardy, drought-tolerant plants that resist those pesky deer.

Make Your Life Easier

Low-Maintenance

Rocks don’t grow like grass does.

By creating stone gardens, you eliminate the need for plant upkeep, and, any weeds that do grow are super easy to spot and remove.

Picking Plants

It’s important to pick plants that not only look great, but will thrive in their environment.

In Nanaimo, drought and deer are major factors, so we work with you to pick plants that will resist both.

Use What you Got

This saves time and money. We specialize in using natural materials, and will use what you have handy in the design.

If we fall a tree, we can cut removal costs and incorporate it into the landscape.

We're Proud of Our Great Reviews

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.

Brett did a fabulous job pruning trees and making our backyard look fresh and bright again. I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism, and knowledge that Brett displays.

I highly recommend Hollywood Tree Co
