Your Guide to Local Christmas Tree Lots
There’s nothing quite like waking up on a chilly morning, with your home filled with the smell of natural pine. Let’s skip the scented candles and plug ins, and head over to one of the local Christmas tree lots.
Your Real Christmas Tree To-Do List
Before you get chopping, there are a couple of things to plan for.
- First, and most important, you will need a permit. But don’t worry, it’s very easy! You can obtain this with a local vendor, or through this site.
- Pack the proper tools to cut down your tree, otherwise have someone help you at the lot.
- Before you pack your power tools, double check that they’re allowed at the lot. A cordless chainsaw is ideal, otherwise you’ll need an ax.
Denver | Front Range
