    Why Chicago Families Are Choosing Christmas Tree Delivery

    1. No Cold, No Crowds, No Parking Tickets

    Chicago winters are no joke — icy sidewalks, stiff winds, limited parking, slush puddles deep enough to lose a boot.

    With City Tree Delivery, you simply order online, choose your size and date, and we take it from there.

    We bring the tree directly inside your home — not curbside, not lobby drop-off — the actual room where your tree belongs.

    No roof racks.
    No tying knots in a blizzard.
    No pine needles glued into the floor mats until July.

    2. Fresh-Cut Fraser Fir and Balsam Fir Trees, Delivered

    Our trees come directly from premium family farms in Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, harvested in small batches and delivered fresh — not left drying on a big-box store lot.

    Fraser Fir

    • Strong branches for ornaments

    • Symmetrical shape

    • Excellent needle retention

    • Soft forest-green color with silver underside

    Balsam Fir

    • Rich fragrance (the “classic Christmas smell”)

    • Soft needles

    • Deep green color

    • Great for cozy, traditional holiday aesthetics

    Trees are inspected, trimmed, hydrated, and prepared before arriving at your home.

    This is as fresh as it gets — short of cutting it yourself.

    3. Professional Full-Service Setup

    Other delivery companies stop at your doorstep.
    We step inside — safely, respectfully, and professionally.

    Our insured setup service includes:

    • Carrying the tree inside your home

    • Fresh trunk cut

    • Positioning it in your stand

    • Straightening and securing

    • Removing netting

    • Watering

    • Sweeping any fallen needles

    • Leaving the room broom clean and ready to decorate

    After the holidays, we return for pickup and full recycling.
    No dragging it down hallways. No ripped plastic bags. No needle trails.

    • Freight elevators

    • Tight vestibules

    • Alley access

    • Historic staircases

    If it can be done safely, we’ve done it.


    A Greener, Smarter Christmas Tradition

    We believe convenience shouldn’t sacrifice sustainability.

    That’s why we focus on:

    • Trees sourced from farms that plant new seedlings annually

    • Efficient routing to reduce fuel emissions & purchasing carbon offsets

    • Recycling trees into mulch 

    • Reusing tree clippings to make wreaths and garland

    • Burning leftover stumps in firepits all summer

    • Longer-lasting Fraser and Balsam Firs that shed less 

    • Sourcing only high quality, durable, and reusable products preferably made locally when available.
    • Offering rental options for stands, commercial grade lights, mats etc. so you don't have to choose between storing an item and throwing it out to repurchase next year

    Our goal is simple:
    Make Christmas easier — and better for the environment.
