Best Christmas tree delivery in NYC

Greg Walsh has been running Greg’s Trees since 1985 and has several locations throughout the city (the ABC Playground in the Lower East Side, Domino Park in Williamsburg, Murray Park in Long Island City and more) so picking up your tree won’t require a massive schlep. He sells Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir, Noble Fir and Nordmann Fir trees for the holidays, which you can also have delivered. There are trees for every budget, plus in-person discounts for seniors, first responders and Not For Profit Organizations. Better yet, Walsh dresses up as Santa to take pictures with the kids (and the young at heart) at these locations. (917-734-3963, gregstrees.com)

For over a decade, NYC Trees has been offering New Yorkers a tree delivery service that takes care of the more difficult parts of setting up a tree. Its Frasier firs, reaching four feet or taller, are installed in a complimentary heavy-duty plastic tree stand with a tree skirt and start at $149. If convenience is important to you, you can get your tree decorated (starting at $149) and removed (starting at $89). Now if only they did that pesky holiday gift shopping for you, you’d have everything. Delivers to Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. (914-809-0795, nyctrees.com)

Ask nearly anyone who’s had their tree delivered by this Brooklyn-based company and they’ll rave about the friendly, helpful customer service. Go in person to the Sheepshead Bay stand or just give them a call to choose your perfect Frasier Fir. They’ll gladly work with you to find the right tree to fit your budget and size needs (4-5-foot-tall trees are $99) and install it so it stands beautiful, proud and—most important for anyone who has had trouble with trees in the past—straight. You can choose for a lights installation and a tree pick up when the season is over, too. Delivers to Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. 2744 Coney Island Ave, Brooklyn (347-733-5475, nycchristmastrees.com)

While Home Depot doesn’t quite have the same local feel and charm as upstate New York Christmas tree farms, for folks who need a tree ASAP, it’ll do quite nicely.
