Christmas tree delivery across Guildford
We deliver across Guildford and the surrounding Surrey towns and villages, free.
That covers the town centre, Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Bellfields and Park Barn. Out to Shalford, Godalming, Farnham, Woking, Cranleigh, Send, Ripley, East and West Horsley, Effingham and the Bookhams.
We also cover the wider GU postcodes and out towards Dorking, Leatherhead and Haslemere.
If your village is not on the list, we still deliver. It is still free.
How delivery works
You choose your delivery date at checkout. We cut and pack your tree the working day before it travels, so it arrives fresh rather than having stood on a forecourt for weeks.
Deliveries run between 8am and 6pm and you do not need to wait in. If you are out, the courier leaves the tree somewhere safe.
Each tree is netted, then loaded into a heavy-duty tree carrier with a cane inside to protect its shape on the journey. It comes out looking like it did in the field.
We use DX, a national carrier for large goods. They are good, but no carrier is perfect, so we will not promise a date can never slip. If it does, tell us and we will sort it.
Delivery is free. No minimum order, no surcharge.
Which Christmas tree should you choose?
Nordmann Fir
The non-drop tree, and Britain's favourite. Thick, waxy needles hold their moisture and stay on the branch. Watered, it holds four to five weeks.
Soft, blunt needles, so it suits a house with children or a dog. Strong, well-spaced branches that carry heavy baubles without sagging.
Almost no scent. That is the trade for needle retention.
Norway Spruce
The traditional tree, and the one that smells of Christmas. Sharp pine scent, classic shape, cheaper because it grows faster.
It drops sooner. Put it up in mid December, water it daily, keep it off the radiator.
Pot grown trees
Alive, roots and all, at 2ft to 3ft. Right for a flat or a small cottage. It goes back outside after Christmas and can come again next year.
What size tree do you need?
Measure the ceiling and take off a foot for the stand and the star.
A big Surrey house with high ceilings will take an 8ft tree and look right. A standard 8ft ceiling wants a 6ft. A cottage with low beams wants a 5ft, and you should measure twice.
Width matters as much as height. A tree is about two thirds as wide as it is tall, so a 6ft tree needs four feet of floor.
Our Christmas tree size guide has the detail.
Christmas in Guildford
The High Street is one of the better Christmas streets in the south east. Cobbles, the clock, and lights strung the length of the hill.
The town centre lights go on in November, and the Christmas market runs through December. The Guildhall and the castle grounds are worth a walk.
Out of town, the Surrey Hills are on your doorstep, and a cold clear walk on the North Downs is a decent antidote to the shopping. Dates for events move each year, so check first.
Recycling your Christmas tree in Guildford
Guildford Borough Council collects real Christmas trees in January and chips them for mulch. Check the council website for your date and whether it is a kerbside collection or a drop-off point.
It is usually free, so use it before you pay anyone.
Surrey hospice charities also collect trees in January for a donation. Your tree gets recycled and a hospice gets funded. Bookings open in December and fill fast.
If neither works, add our collection service at checkout. Check the free options first. We would rather tell you that than sell you something you can get for nothing.
More in our Christmas tree recycling guide.
Keeping your tree alive
Saw an inch off the bottom of the trunk before it goes in the stand. Sap seals the cut end within hours of harvest, and without a fresh cut the tree cannot drink at all.
Get it straight into water. A fresh tree can take two litres on its first day indoors.
Check the water every day. If it runs dry once, the trunk seals over and the tree stops drinking for good.
Keep it away from radiators and wood burners. Heat kills Christmas trees.
A stand with a deep reservoir makes it simple. More in our guides to keeping your tree fresh and stopping needle drop.
