Just hours after they’ve digested their Thanksgiving feasts, some District residents will be unboxing Christmas ornaments. Ben Sisko, co-founder of DC Tree Delivery, says the company will begin dropping off their premium Fraser Firs on Black Friday.

For the second year, the company will get trees from a farm three hours away from the city, store them right outside of the District, and shuttle them to homes in D.C. and Northern Virginia so that their customers “can get to the fun part, which is decorating,” Sisko told DCist.

DC Tree Delivery offers two price points—$89 and $119. The company’s basic service entails delivering the tree along with a stand and cleaning up needles that may fall in the process. The deluxe package includes the same, plus full setup of the tree and cleaning up the remains afterward.

And whether you purchased a tree from the DC Tree Delivery or not, it will remove and recycle your fir after the holidays for $45.

Orders are already about 70 percent sold out, Sisko says.

Growing up in New England, Sisko participated in his family’s tradition of going to a local farm, cutting down a tree, and setting it up in their home. After nearly a decade of living in the District, he found that while most of his friends wanted live trees in their homes for the holidays, they weren’t able to because they didn’t have cars or a place to store the stands throughout the year, along with maintaining busy schedules.

So Sisko tagged Koby Arthur, whom he met through an apprenticeship program, to start DC Tree Delivery and fill the holiday void. “It’s awesome being in people’s homes and seeing how excited they are,” Sisko said, recalling he and Arthur personally delivering just under 100 trees last year.

This season, the duo has quadrupled its inventory of 4 to 8 foot trees and increased staff.

Not only are they providing trees, they’re offering a service, Sisko said, adding that they made deliveries within five minutes of scheduled times last year and got a 5 star Yelp rating.

Last year, the company sold out shortly after Thanksgiving. “There’s not a whole lot of fresh cut tree farms around the D.C. area,” Sisko says.
