The strand-strait system balance and centers the tree before drilling and then using a special tapered drill bit, creates a perfect hole of correct width and depth. Of course, this method requires the unique pin type tree stand.
-
FREE taggingMany of our customers have preferred to come out early and tag a tree for cutting and pick up later in the season. This accommodates there schedule better and may often coincides with family traditions. It is with caution, however, that we permit tagging, because it is hard to guarantee the security of all tagged trees.
-
Ease of ProcessingWe now have a Howey commercial tree baler, so there is no tree too big for packaging. Tying and netting are free services that we provide to help you transport your tree home safely and that adds to the ease of set up. Should you need a tree delivered and/or assistance with set up, we would be glad to assist. Please see Customer Service for more details.

Wreaths & DecorationsOur products are made daily from a variety of fresh cut greens including: fir, spruce, pine, juniper, boxwood, cypress and holly. We collect our greens and pine cones locally so they are fresh. We use a minimum of plastic and other “fake” ornaments. Wreaths come in a variety of sizes from 10 to 48 inches. We have 20 years of making our custom wreaths especially for Christmas. Our wreaths are made fresh and over the years many of our customers have adopted the tradition of placing our wreath inside their home. “They are too nice to put outside” customers have said.

Hand-Made BowsFor our handmade bows we work with Designs By Linda a local florist who custom creates a wide assortment of the highest quality bows you can find anywhere. Bows are made from a variety of ribbon types, sizes, styles and colors. Our bows are the main feature on all of our wreath products.

Advent Wreaths(these handmade custom creations should be ordered at least one week prior to planned pick up)
This season we are also offering special Advent Wreaths. A Christian tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of Advent. It is a horizontal evergreen wreath with four or five candles. Beginning with the First Sunday of Advent, the lighting of a candle can be accompanied by a Bible reading and prayers. An additional candle is lit during each subsequent week until, by the last Sunday before Christmas, all four candles are lit. Some Advent wreaths include a fifth, “Christ” candle which can be lit at Christmas. The accumulation of light is an expression of the growing anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ, who in Christian faith is seen as the light of the world. The circular wreath represents God’s eternity and unity. Evergreens are a symbol of enduring life. -
RopingRoping or garland adds a natural, elegant touch to stair railings, porches, doorways and around fireplace mantles. Our roping comes in measured sections or 25 yards rolls. We offer traditional white pine and a white pine mixed with boxwood and Fraser fir.

Kissing BallsA neatly configured ball intended to be hung inside the home through a doorway or over the table as a festive and fragrant ornament. The kissing is up to you. We make these daily so they remain fresh. While most contain a mix of greenery, if you prefer a special or unique creation made solely from holly or boxwood, please order ahead of your planned pick up.
-
Framed Christmas TreesConstructed on wire frames in the same manner as our wreaths, neat bundles of greens are arranged in the shape of a tree. Flat on the back side, they hang nicely on a door or wall adding a nice display to another room in the home. Fresh and fragrant these popular sellers are gone fast.

MistletoeDried fresh and packaged, our mistletoe is florist quality direct from California. We find the source of “kissing under the mistletoe” in Celtic rituals and Norse mythology. In Gaul, the land of the Celts, for instance, the Druids considered it a sacred plant. It was believed to have medicinal qualities and mysterious supernatural powers. Folklore and myth surround many stories about mistletoe. Take some home and start your own tradition.
