Christmas Tree Delivery in Pasadena

For most bungalows, a 6 to 7 foot tree is the sweet spot. A Douglas fir gives you the full, bushy shape and sweet smell most people picture in a front window. If your corner is narrow, tell Dana how wide the spot is when she sends photos, so you can pick a tree that fits. Under a beamed ceiling, measure to the underside of the lowest beam, not to the ceiling boards.

Setup is where an older house benefits most. We put down floor protection first (old hardwood scratches easily), set the tree in its stand, get it straight, add water and sweep up the needles before we leave. Trees up to 7 feet are covered by the setup price.

We can bring one. A tree over 7 feet adds a small extra charge for setup, and Dana quotes it before you pay, so the number you agree to is the number you pay. Taller trees also need a bigger stand. Ours are $55 for trees up to 8 feet and $70 for trees up to 10 feet, matched to the trunk. If you're using your own stand, make sure it was made for a tree that size.

For a tall room, a Noble fir is often the better choice. The branches are stiff and grow in open layers, so heavy glass ornaments hang straight and each one has room to be seen. A Douglas fir is softer and fuller, which looks lovely but bends more under weight. Our Christmas trees page compares the two.

When you order, tell Dana which floor you're on, whether there's an elevator, how many stairs there are, and where a van can stop. Street parking around Old Pasadena is metered and busy, so a loading zone or a spot in the building's driveway makes things quicker. Stairs and tight access come with a small extra charge, and that's quoted before you pay too.

In an apartment, setup usually beats drop-off. Nobody wants to drag a 6 foot fir down a hallway past the neighbors' doors and then fight with a stand on their own. With setup, the tree comes straight inside, goes into the stand, gets straightened and watered, and we sweep up on the way out.
