Christmas Tree Delivery
London

A real Christmas tree is easier to choose when you know where it will stand and how it will reach the room. Go Gardeners offers Christmas tree delivery in London, with seasonal collection enquiries after the festivities. Call to confirm the current trees, sizes, prices and delivery arrangements. A published size range is a useful starting point, but the actual tree and available appointment should be agreed before you plan the rest of the room around them.

Measure from the floor to the ceiling at the intended position, then allow for the stand and anything you want above the tree. Consider width as well as height. A tree can fit beneath the ceiling yet spread into a doorway or occupy the space needed to walk around a table. Marking an approximate footprint on the floor can make the choice more concrete than imagining a height in feet.

The route matters too. Check the entrance, hall, stairs and internal doors, and explain lifts or restricted access when enquiring. A large tree that looks straightforward at street level may be awkward in a small flat. Photographs and measurements are particularly useful where the delivery route turns sharply or passes through a shared building.

Measure the available floor space and ceiling height before choosing a real Christmas tree. Leave room for the stand and any decoration at the top. Stock, species and size availability need confirming directly. If needle characteristics, scent or branch strength matter to you, explain why: heavy decorations and a lightly dressed tree place different demands on the branches.

Do not choose on height alone. Ask about the expected shape, width and whether the tree is cut or supplied with roots. Those distinctions affect the stand and aftercare. This page does not promise a particular species or growing method where it has not been confirmed. A clear description at ordering is more useful than assumptions made from an illustrative photograph.

The published page gives indicative bands of £45–£55 for 4–5 ft, £55–£70 for 5–6 ft and £70–£85 for 6–7 ft trees. Larger listed bands are £85–£100 for 7–8 ft and £100–£150 for 8–10 ft. These are the website’s published figures checked on 15 October 2026, rather than a live stock catalogue or a guaranteed quotation for every delivery address.

Confirm the current tree price, delivery charge or inclusion, any stand or installation arrangement and the cost of later collection. Christmas tree delivery is separate from the hourly gardening rate shown in the general price guide. Do not assume that a maintenance booking, a delivery and a collection share the same minimum charge or charging method.

Choose a place away from direct heat and where the tree will not obstruct an exit or the ordinary route through the room. Consider children, pets and furniture when deciding the position. A suitable stable stand is essential for a cut tree, and it needs to match the trunk and tree size. Confirm whether a stand is supplied or whether you must have one ready.

Protect flooring appropriately while maintaining a stable base, and allow access for watering. A stand hidden so completely by decorations that it cannot be checked is inconvenient for daily care. Before delivery, clear enough space to manoeuvre the tree without catching curtains, lights or fragile ornaments. Decide where packaging should go and keep the route free of loose objects.

For a cut tree, use an appropriate water-holding stand and keep the reservoir supplied. A tree can take up water quickly, particularly when first brought indoors, so inspect the level regularly rather than waiting for visible needle loss. Follow advice suitable for the tree and stand supplied. Ask about preparation at delivery if you are uncertain, rather than improvising changes that affect its stability.

The RHS Christmas tree guide explains care and the importance of avoiding heat and a dry stand. A real tree is a living material that responds to its surroundings; it cannot be guaranteed to look unchanged for an arbitrary number of weeks. Good positioning and attentive care are more useful than treating low needle drop as a promise of no needle drop at all.

A rooted or container-grown tree is a different purchase from a cut tree. Ask what is actually being supplied and what its care requires. Do not assume that every tree in a pot has an intact root system or can be planted successfully afterwards. Indoor conditions, time spent inside and the plant’s eventual growing space all affect the decision.

If you hope to plant a tree in the garden, consider its mature size and suitability before ordering. A festive centrepiece can become a substantial garden tree. Discuss the planting position, light and available space rather than treating the end of Christmas as the whole planting plan. Garden design and planting advice can be a separate conversation where a long-term garden change is intended.

If the garden also needs an autumn tidy, book it as a defined garden maintenance task. A delivery visit is not automatically a gardening appointment. Similarly, garden clearance has its own scope and waste arrangements; the standard green waste allowance should not be assumed to include a later Christmas tree collection.

For a business display, explain building rules, delivery access and the intended location early. Electrical decorations and their installation are separate from supplying a tree unless expressly agreed. Keep the brief focused on the actual service needed, and confirm who will be responsible for positioning, decorating, watering and eventual removal.
