Real Christmas tree collected from supplier and delivered to your home. Carried in carefully, positioned in your chosen room - no mess in your car, no heavy lifting required.
### The Bit Everyone Dreads
Getting a real Christmas tree home is **brilliant in theory, nightmare in practice**. Doesn't fit in the car. Needles everywhere. Scratched your leather seats. Rope came loose on the roundabout. Threw your back out lifting it.
Then you've got to wrestle it through the front door without taking chunks out of the doorframe.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A fresh-cut 7ft tree weighs a fair bit and is awkward as hell to carry. Two people makes it easier, but it's still a proper faff.

### Let Someone Else Do the Heavy Lifting
I've got a van. I've carried hundreds of trees. I know how to get them through doorways without destroying your paintwork. **Job done in an hour** and you don't lift a finger.

We agree collection date and delivery time. ### Step 2: Collection I pick up the tree from the supplier. If you've pre-ordered, I collect yours. If not, I choose a good one based on what you've asked for. ### Step 3: Delivery & Position Turn up at yours, carry the tree in with floor protection, stand it roughly where you want it. Quick shake outside first to drop loose needles.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Want the whole setup done?** I can collect the tree, position it in the stand, check it's straight, and even do basic lights if you want. One visit sorts the lot. **Local suppliers I know:** There's good tree sellers at most garden centres around Exeter, plus seasonal lots that pop up in December. I can recommend depending on your budget and tree preferences. **Pot-grown vs cut trees:** Cut trees are lighter and cheaper but need watering daily. Pot-grown can be replanted but are heavier to move. Let me know which you're getting. **Narrow hallways in old houses:** Exeter's Victorian terraces often have tight doorways and halls. I've done hundreds - we can usually get trees through with a bit of angle and patience. Worst case, trim bottom branches slightly (tree won't miss them).
Frequently Asked Questions about Christmas tree delivery & carry-in in Honiton
Do you supply the tree as well?
I can collect from wherever you've ordered it - garden centre, farm, Christmas tree lot. Or if you've not ordered yet, I know the good local suppliers and can grab one for you. Just let me know size and budget.
Will it fit through my door?
Most standard 6-7ft trees fit fine. If you've got narrow hallways or a massive 9-footer, let me know when booking so I can plan. Worst case we might need to trim the bottom branches slightly to get it through.
Can you help position it in the room?
Yes - I'll carry it in and stand it roughly where you want it. If you've got a stand ready I can pop it in there too. Makes the whole thing easier.
What about the mess and needles?
Trees shed a few needles during transport - that's normal. I'll bring a dust sheet to protect your floors while we're moving it. Give it a good shake outside first to get the loose ones off.
How much notice do you need?
December gets busy so book early if you can. Week or two notice is ideal but I'll always try to help if you're stuck. Some suppliers sell out of the good trees by mid-December.
