A1 Christmas Trees

We decided to support a small business today and I am disappointed. The service felt like a used car lot, the trees were delivered ‘that morning’ but still curiously dry and the prices did not match the quality. $ 80 dollars for a 6−7ft noble fir. Also it’s cash only which is usually a big warning sign.
Pros there was a very helpful worker who helped put the tree on our car.

Great experience for me and my roommates! The guys there were super helpful and funny.
We bought a baby tree for $ 25 (originally priced at $ 30) and it already comes with the stand and water bowl.
The location was also decent! I wish we got there earlier because there weren’t a lot to choose from on the baby trees that were there.

We heard about this location via groupon. After the tree was on the car I learned that our 6 ft tree would cost us $ 90. It was a nice looking tree, so in my mind I tried to justify the price. What has me upset is that I am currently at Home Depot purchasing my second tree because the tree died. It never absorbed the first batch of water in the stand. We needed to get this fire hazard out of the house and save our dropping ornaments. Refusing to have a treeless Christmas, a second tree from a different location was our solution.

Great looking trees with the best staff ! They custom cut our tree and it’s perfect !!!for the perfect price! Merry x-​mas!

The minute I arrived they were very helpfull and friendly. Great selection and even better prices! Also great location, easy parking.

I went to their santa Monica location, grouping in hand. They were rude. They put the plastic & wood stand on & didn’t caulk around the nail holes. All other lots do this. I asked if it would leak & he said no. Well guess what, it did. They also didn’t even help me carry the tree to my car. So once I got it home & set up, o realized it was leaking. I ran across the street to the Delancey street lot on sunset & bought a real stand. They were very helpful & I will be buying my tree from then from now on!

«Literally half the price of the other lot just up the road on doheney. Super friendly, quick and helpful. What more could you ask. $ 45 for a 5 foot tree with a stand and water bowl… The same tree would have been $ 85 just up the road…»

They are no longer at 9098 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90 069. There is another Christmas tree place there. A1 moved to the city of Santa Monica. The phone number is still good. If you call them, they will give you their new address. I had to go somewhere closer so I cannot rate them. I’ll give them 5 stars just so I can post this.

place was perfect. friendly attentive service and we got a beautiful 7′ douglas fir for $ 65, including the stand and loaded on the car. exactly what you’re looking for.

In and out in ten minutes. Was greeted upon entry, found a tree quickly, paid and got out. My wife was taking a picture of my son, and one of the employees even offered to take a picture of the whole family, which was super-​nice.
I also liked that there wasn’t a whole bunch of junk that they were trying to push on us… just trees.

I’ve never purchased a Christmas tree before and my husband is from a different country, so this would be a first for the both of us. I bought a Groupon, checked the website and called the W. Hollywood location to confirm pricing, items, delivery details, etc. The price was slightly higher than what the website listed; I paid $ 10 more than advertised. I confirmed the delivery procedure with the lot manager. The website indicates: «Our specially trained delivery person will conveniently deliver your tree and set it in its stand, as well as answer any live tree questions you may have. We are the only local lot offering this.» We paid the extra $ 25 for delivery since we never had our own tree and wanted to have it put up correctly.
They delivered on time, but we were told that they did not have time to put the tree in our tree stand and the wooden stand put on at the lot was good enough. I called and spoke with the lot manager and initially he said they would either come back to finish the job or we could have our $ 25 back, we would just need to go back to the lot and pick it up, asked if I could call him the following morning to discuss the time. When I called back, he also said the wooden stand was good enough and then said he didn’t want to give my money back for delivery since he had to pay for gas and his employee. I get that, but since we could’ve loaded the tree on top of our car and brought it home for free, we thought paying extra would give us a better experience and less frustration. NOPE. He even told me, «…I mean… it’s just a Christmas tree…» So I’m sure they have great quality trees, but the overall service was not worth the extra drive and frustration… Next year it’s the corner lot and a borrowed truck!: (

$ 60 for a 6′ noble fir + $ 24 for a tree stand + tax = $ 93. would have loved a little discount (missed the groupon) or if i didn’t throw away last year’s stand! but it sure beats the price up the street at mr. green trees! friendly people. cash only.
trees are nice and full. hope it lasts til christmas!

Convenient location. Good selection. Competitive pricing. Awesome that they have delivery service. i bought my tree and asked them to hold it until the next day. I couldn’t come the next day because of an unexpected work commitment, but when i did show up my tree was in great shape. The guys loaded it on my car in like two minutes. The guys hired are great and have a great attitude. Super helpful
The guys who own it are SOURPUSSES! Seriously to an uncomfortable degree. You would think they are selling funeral arrangements and not Christmas cheer. That’s the reason for my low score. If you can avoid them (not sure if you can because they handle all the payments), I highly recommend, otherwise, not so much.

Bought a beautiful Noble tree here in the 6 – 7′ range which ran us $ 80 and an additional $ 10 for a wooden stand which will obviously be tossed with the tree after Xmas. Total price after tax= $ 99. There is an option for $ 25 for a reusable plastic stand that most of the trees already reside in. If you have the storage space and need a stand, this is probably the preferred way. In previous reviews, tree stand for free but this is not the case in this 2011 Xmas season. We did not do much price comparison prior to buying here, but the location is convenient at intersection of Santa Monica Blvd & Doheny/​Melrose. Also, cash only!

AWFUL customer service! I do NOT recommend hiring this «company» to install your christmas lights. I can’t beleive this company stays in business! I called 5 days ago to obtain a quote to install outdoor christmas lights on my house. I spoke with Dion who said they would come to my house to give me a free quote, but he didnt have anyone available for 5 days. I waited the 5 days and then waited during the alloted time period he said someone would arrive at my house and nobody ever showed up!!! When I called to inquire, Dion said they were a few DAYS behind! He didnt even have the courtesy to ever bother calling to inform me so I didnt sit around waiting. This place doesnt deserve any business.

Perfect tree, perfect price.
Each year we seek out a perfect 8′ Noble Fir for our Christmas Celebration. The past two years we have bought our tree from a competitor, Mr. — – Trees” just up the street from A1, but I decided to do some searching for a better price, as the $ 250+ at «Mr. — — Trees» was seeming excessive.
A day or two after Thanksgiving, I did some searching on Unilocal!,hopped in the car with my fiancé and our dog, and hit a couple of lots. Our second, and last, stop was A1. We found a great Noble, so I asked the Owner the cost. $ 85. I asked to repeat the price. $ 85…plus tax. I could not believe it. I asked him how he could sell the same tree for ¹⁄₃ or his competitors, and he told me he did not understand how someone else could sell them for so much. He said the trees were all fresh, etc, and he stood behind them, etc etc.
This happened to be one of the earlier nights in the lot set-​up, so he offered to set-​up a bunch more Noble’s so we could compare, and get the exact one we wanted. I ran my dog around for about 15 minutes, hurdling stacks of trees, while the owner and his employee unwrapped, cut clean trunks, and mount another half-​dozen trees to bases so we could have our pick.
My fiancé picked the tree. I figured the price would go up for a «special tree» and went inside to pay. $ 85 plus tax. I had a base from the previous year which they happily mounted, loaded the tree on my roof, and home we went.
More than a month later, our tree is still standing tall and looking sharp. We are having our «Save the Date» photo taken in front of it this week, and will probably keep the tree lit for about another week. The tree drank about 2 liters per day and is now down to about ½ liter per day. Keep them watered well, and you can not go wrong with A1.
Long story short, we could not be happier with the tree, the service, or the value.
Next year my only stop will be A1.

I’ve shopped around West LA for Xmas tress and this place has the best deals by far! I paid $ 79 for a 8ft Noble fir. These trees are at least $ 100 everywhere else. They also included the stand and water thing for free! Very nice guys working there. Delivery was only $ 20!
