If you’re still not sure whether this service is for you, then let’s become familiar with…

Convenience and time-saving factors

With the holiday season packed full of gatherings, gift shopping, and festive preparations, finding time to pick out a Christmas tree can feel near impossible. Traditional tree shopping often means long queues, chilly trips to tree lots or farms, and don’t forget, the challenge of transporting the tree afterwards.

It’s no wonder Christmas tree delivery services are now a thing. You go online and browse a beautiful selection of trees from the cosy comfort of your own home. You can compare sizes and styles, make your selection, and schedule a delivery time that fits into your calendar. Fifteen or twenty years ago, this entire process and the easiness with which you experience it would’ve sounded like something from a futuristic movie.

Many real Christmas tree delivery companies even offer personalised customer service. They help you choose the ideal size and type of tree to suit your space and style.

How early can you get a real tree before Christmas?

You can bring home a real Christmas tree as early as late November if you plan to keep it fresh and beautiful through to the New Year. With proper care—like keeping it watered and away from heat sources—your tree can last up to five weeks indoors.

For a little guidance on the perfect timing and how to make the most of your tree’s festive charm, take a look at our full guide on when to buy a real Christmas tree.

Eco-friendly practices

Choosing a real Christmas tree isn’t just about the beauty and tradition. Although that’s a huge part, nonetheless. It’s a decision to be kind to the planet as well. Are Christmas trees good or bad for the environment? Real ones are a renewable resource. That makes real Christmas trees much more eco-friendly compared to artificial trees.

So, is it good to have a Christmas tree at home? Absolutely. Especially when you consider that many Christmas tree farms use sustainable farming methods to grow their trees and replant new saplings for every tree harvested. This cycle not only provides a consistent supply but also supports local ecosystems by stabilising soil, protecting water supplies, and creating natural habitats for wildlife.

Real trees can be recycled after the holiday season. Many local programs offer pickup services, composting or mulching old trees. They can also be used for habitat restoration, preventing erosion and supporting wildlife along riverbanks and shorelines.

Guaranteed high-quality real trees

Christmas tree delivery service providers work with sustainable farms to hand-pick the best trees. Each one is chosen for its health, shape, and fullness. Your tree is cut close to the delivery date, so it’s as fresh as possible.

The delivery process is also designed to protect your tree from damage. First, they carefully wrap each tree in netting or protective wrapping to keep branches close to the trunk. This prevents breakage and keeps the tree compact for easier handling. For added protection, some providers use sturdy packaging or reinforced bases to secure the tree’s trunk.

What is the best type of real Christmas tree?

The truth is the best type of real Christmas tree depends on your personal preferences and needs. Still, popular Christmas tree types include:

Reduced stress during the busy holiday season

The holiday season can quickly become overwhelming with numerous to-do lists and event planning. Tree delivery services are actually a simple way to reduce some of this seasonal uneasiness. You avoid the physical strain of lifting and transporting a heavy tree. The energy you save you can use for your family. Everybody wins.

Besides physical ease, a Christmas tree delivery service frees up your time as well. You can spend quality time with family doing all kinds of fun things. Bake cookies, watch Home Alone for the umpteenth time, or create homemade decorations together. You can also tackle holiday shopping.

Safety considerations

Transporting a Christmas tree through the city in winter sounds festive, but it’s often a lot tougher than you expect.

For one, narrow city streets and compact doorways can make squeezing a big, bushy tree through very complicated. Add winter weather to the mix, with icy sidewalks and slick steps, and suddenly, carrying an awkwardly shaped tree becomes a bit of a balancing act.

Then there’s the holiday hustle and bustle. With city streets packed with shoppers, tourists, and endless cars, navigating a large tree through the crowds can feel like an obstacle course.

There’s also the issue of parking. While many London residents hold parking permits, these permits allow parking within designated zones and do not guarantee a specific spot near your home. During the holiday season, increased traffic and a higher number of visitors can lead to a scarcity of available parking spaces, even for those of you with permits.

Experienced Christmas tree delivery teams know how to handle the winter conditions that come with the festive season in the UK. They’re trained to carry and transport trees securely.

For example, when delivering Christmas trees through narrow London streets or up compact stairwells, movers use specialised equipment, such as lifting straps or hand trucks. These tools not only reduce the strain of heavy lifting but also help manoeuvre the item through tight spaces without damage.

In busy city environments, delivery teams are also skilled at planning routes to avoid obstacles like crowded sidewalks or icy patches. In winter conditions, they prepare for slick surfaces by using non-slip footwear and, if necessary, lay down mats or boards to create stable paths. This allows them to safely transport the tree from their vehicle to the customer’s door without risking falls or damage.
