Stanford University Tree Recycling and Removal

Stanford, CA

As beautiful as the end products we make from salvaged wood are, it's important to highlight the expertise, hard work, precautions, and considerations required for taking down and harvesting the trees beforehand. It is our privilege to serve as the Project Manager for this multi-year tree salvaging project alongside ZGF Architects, Interstice Architects, Whiting-Turner, Parkwest, and Hamilton Tree Service Inc. Together, we safely removed huge Coast Live Oak trees and a Blue Oak, ensuring they came down in the safest way that minimizes ecological damage to the area. We at Bay Area Redwood will now utilize the wood harvested from this project, transforming it into products for campus use and other projects to continue the trees' long legacy.

Private Residence Oak Tree Removal

Atherton, CA

It's always hard when old trees need to come down due to wood rot, but at Bay Area Redwood, we work hard to make sure they are taken down and harvested in the most safe and sustainable way possible. Safety cannot be compromised when it comes to responsible urban forestry, and we knew working alongside our collaborators, Boxleaf Design and Hamilton Tree Service Inc., we'd be able to ensure a safe removal. Our involvement will make sure this beautiful, old oak tree won't be put in the waste system and will instead be used in other furnishing and material supply projects, further extending its life and legacy.

After conducting onsite tree removal and harvesting of several Stone Pine tress from the SF Bay Trail at Oyster Point, Bay Area Redwood stored and fabricated the whole trees into nature play inspired custom site furnishings. In addition, Bay Area Redwood sourced and procured over a hundred salvaged Cypress logs from Bolinas, CA and fabricated 23 custom Cypress block benches for Oyster Point.
