Christmas Tree Delivery in La Crescenta-Montrose

It's also where the 10 mile line comes into play. Most of La Crescenta is around 9 driving miles from the lot, but the highest foothill streets can pass 10, and past 10 we quote the delivery instead of using the tier price. Dana checks the mileage for your address when you order, so you know which applies before anything is paid.

On a steep lot, setup is worth a look. A fresh-cut tree is heavy, and hauling one up a sloped driveway and a flight of steps is easier when it isn't your back doing it. Stairs and tight access add a small extra charge, always quoted up front. Once the tree is inside, it goes into the stand, gets straightened and watered, and the needles get swept up.

The houses are a mix: older bungalows and cottages, postwar ranch homes and newer rebuilds. Many of the older ones have modest living rooms where a 6 or 6.5 foot tree fits better than a 7 footer once the stand and the topper are in. A Douglas fir's full shape works well in a smaller room, and its soft needles are friendly to small hands that want to help decorate.

There are apartments and condos near Honolulu Avenue and along Foothill Blvd too. If you're in one, tell Dana the floor, whether there's an elevator, and where the van can stop. Setup makes the most sense there, since the tree comes in, goes into its stand and the floor gets swept before we head out.

If your tree is going into a room with a vaulted or beamed ceiling, you have space for something taller. A Noble fir's stiff, open branches are good for showing off a big ornament collection, and they don't droop under weight. Trees over 7 feet add a small extra charge for setup, quoted before you pay, and the bigger stands run $55 up to 8 feet and $70 up to 10 feet.

Not sure what height to get? Our size guide covers measuring, and Dana's photos show the height of every tree, so you can match one to the room before you choose a number.
