The service is always great! They help you cut the tree down and tie it to your car. There's also a small winery where you could sit down and enjoy some wine and snacks. Sam's chowder had a truck there which was also nice. read more

Great selection of trees, always fresh, staff is super friendly. They get very busy on the Friday after Thanksgiving, so go before if you can, but even on the busiest days they are patient and handle your tree with care. read more

Beautiful trees. Very friendly service from 4-Cs. Easy payment. We've been here for two years now. Happily recommend. read more

4-C's Christmas Tree Farm - Trees! - Christmas Trees Near Me - Half moon Bay, California

I wanted to support a local business when it came to getting a tree for the first time this year. I came prepared with cash in hand. Unfortunately, all the nice trees were all gone. Did I come too late? Or did they not grow enough trees this year. Either way, I left empty handed with no tree. Whelp. This was the same weekend as Thanksgiving as well just for a reference point of time. I ended up on a random tree farm in La honda, but I forsure will be back next year earlier I suppose? read more

Went to Santa's first to look for a tree and were severely disappointed by the selection. They didn't have anything above 4' tall the weekend after Thanksgiving. The only ones available were in the pre-cut area starting at $125. Instead of heading home we decided to look for another place close by and were fortunate to find 4-C's. Night and day difference in selection. We wandered around in the mud for at least 45 minutes trying to decide on which tree to get and what size. In the end we cut our own 9' Spruce. All their trees are flat rate, this year was $70 for a Spruce and $60 for Douglas Fir. They had a lot of trees to choose from in either the u-cut or pre-cut. Very nice people working here who told us the prices when we drove in and handed us a saw. While they don't have the gift shop, santa, train, etc. of other places we'll come back next year for our tree. read more

I've never chopped a Christmas tree down, so this was a first! Ashley R. & I are out visiting family in California and they wanted to pick up a tree. I suggested checking out some of the cut your own tree spots down by Half Moon Bay, and this spot was on the way back from lunch and had good reviews on Yelp and great prices. $45 for Monterrey Pines, $55 for Douglas Firs, and $65 for Spruce. You pull up, they give you a saw, and off you drive into the farm.... There are A LOT of trees. The Monterrey Pine trees looked great, but not really like what we were imagining our Christmas tree should look like. The Spruce were nice looking too, but the Douglas Fir trees were HUGE, and we figured we should probably go for the biggest tree around.... With a bunch of indecisive folks wandering around in a massive field filled with thousands of trees, the biggest, finding the perfect tree ended up taking quite a while, and once we found it, we discovered that sawing through our beast of a tree was a real undertaking. As the sun was setting, we got the 7 foot tree wrested free of its earthly bonds, and lugged it through row after row of lesser trees to the car. Getting it on the roof was a bit of a challenge, and I guess the tree farm people were a little worried about us since dusk was upon us -- they came looking for us to make sure we were still alive out there...and we followed them back to the entrance, where they lashed our behemoth to the car and plied us with candy canes. All in all, a very memorable and unique experience, and at a price way less than you'd usually find a smaller pre-cut tree for! read more

What an amazing experience!! I grew up in Florida and we stopped buying real Christmas trees ages ago. Cut trees from Home Depot or Publix are just too expensive. Like $30 for a table top tree? $65 for a five-footer? Really? We started forgoing the beautiful smell and Christmas-y feelings and opted for the dreaded fake tree, which always leaves you feeling just a little empty inside. Practicality sometimes wins over the warm, fuzzy feelings, I guess. Currently visiting Nick's family in California, and they were ready to go for the gold with a real tree. We were originally thinking your run of the mill Home Depot tree, then came across the Christmas Tree Farm concept and were intrigued. When I saw the prices for 4-C's, we kept asking ourselves, "But what's the catch?" For $55, you can pick ANY Douglas Fir on the lot? Are they teeny weeny or something? Nope - they're as ginormous as you're willing to chop down. You could certainly go for a modest 5-6 footer....or you can opt for the 9-10 foot gargantuan beast that we found. I guess the biggest catch is that you really do have to chop it down by yourself, and apparently this isn't as easy as we thought it would be. Nick and I had to take turns but eventually successfully unearthed the Volkswagon-sized tree. Loading it onto the car was another adventure. Recruit some friends or family members, because it's definitely more than a one (or even two) person job. I always say, "Team work makes the dream work." We had such a collective sense of satisfaction afterward! What a good way to pull everyone together for the holidays. And it's so gorgeous and full, all sparkly and decorated in the living room (and nearly hits the ceiling). If you're looking for a quick trip down to the nearest shop to have a Christmas tree shlepped on top of the car, don't come here. But if you're looking for a fun holiday adventure, start a new tradition and go pick out your own tree at the Christmas tree farm. read more

We came to 4-C's for the first time after going to Santa's Christmas Tree for many years, and I love 4-C's. They have very nice trees and less crowded here. I can find a good tree fairly easily and enjoy walking around the farm. It is right next to La Nebbia Winery so it is great to spend the afternoon here for tree cutting and wine tasting. Also picnic area available with lots of chairs/tables and bocce balls! It would be a good family outing event for BYW picnic foods, winery visit, and Xmas tree all at one spot. FYI they don't have noble fir for you to cut and they are all pre-cut. But they have a lot of Douglas Fir! Price is also cheaper than Santa's which is great. read more

Can't tell how much we loved this place. Totally recommend for a family moment. Take your time choosing your tree and cutting it

Four C's saved our hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year. They have a huge selection of Monterey pines and for only $40 ($15 less than competitors). Staff was extremely helpful and even let us know that they had guys that could help us with electric saws if it got tough. We opted for the hand saw which was provided at the entrance. In years past we've gone to Santa's Tree Farm, but their lack of Pines this year left us disappointed. Coming from Hwy 280, down the 92 we decided to drive just a bit further in hopes of finding a U-Cut farm. Just a short 1/2 mile down we found the Four C's Farm. Thank you for saving our family tradition of cutting down a Pine for Christmas. Our tree is the focal point of our living room and I get a warm fuzzy feeling waking up each morning to the smell of pine. Merry Christmas. read more

4-C's Christmas Tree Farm - 11/27/11 My sister at Four C's Christmas Tree Farm - Christmas Trees Near Me - Half moon Bay, California

We've been coming to the field for at least the last 12 years judging by the age of our oldest. Super nice family and tree helpers. WE understood prices bc of transportation this year - paid $150 for a 8-9 footer. We support them, so no prob. But, our tree died in exactly one week - Bought on 12/2, dead as can be by 12/10. Not by a heater, fireplace or window - same place as always and it was in the stand and watered immediately and constantly, along with the solution they sell. Water never was low. What a bummer. Now the ornaments are falling off left and right. I happened, not as fast two years ago. Maybe it's time to switch to an artificial. Chalk the dead tree to 2020 I guess. read more

It's our first Coastside Christmas and we didn't know where to go for a tree. We visited 5 locations (2 U-cut farms and 3 roadside stands) before finding out about 4-Cs. The U-cut farms were more geared toward families, with trains and such, and the actual trees there were over-priced and VERY POORLY PRUNED. We walked around one of them for over half an hour just miserable because we couldn't even find a single contender. Despite the name of this farm, I really doubt it has Santa's seal of approval. The roadside stands all had nice trees, but they were either very small or $300 for a NOBLE. Le sigh. We made the decision to check out 4-Cs as a last resort and if it didn't pan out then we would head to Los Gatos. Luckily for us, 4-Cs literally had way too many trees to choose from and they are all GORGEOUS firs and spruces. The firs are perfect cone shapes...Full...No bare areas...Just beautiful fricking trees. We bought an amazing 8 or 9 foot tall Doug Fir for $55 (I think) and the women who took our money were the friendliest people we met all day. SUCH A SUCCESS! This is where we will be coming every year. read more

Customer service at 4-C's made our first real tree hunt experience so enjoyable! They did not have many un-cut trees to choose from (which they warned us about when we pulled in) but they had a lot full of beautiful pre-cut, which we ended up going with. Everyone was so nice and helpful, I would definitely return next year! read more

We live in the City but happened to be down in HMB over the weekend and stopped for a tree. This lot does not disappoint. Best lot we've been to in years. GREAT selection of very fresh pre-cut trees. (Can't speak for those you cut down yourself as this is not our thing) Most were A quality trees and lots of A+ trees if you hunt. Reasonable too. Cost was about $50 cheaper than we expect to pay in the City...it cost us about $90 for a 7' tree, instead of $140 which we paid last year at lot on Kirkham and 7th Ave. read more

We stopped by Santa's Tree Farm first, and while it was fun, the trees were slim pickings on a traditional Christmas tree. Now remember, real trees are not perfect! But when we got to 4C's almost every tree was perfect in the U-Cut sections. It was hard to decide but we found one! The staff were nice. They helped us trim the trunk and first couple layers of branches (cutting with a saw is hard!). We were in and out. Just what we needed after trekking for two hours unsuccessfully at the prior tree farm. This was great. Our tree is beautiful! read more

We always bought Christmas trees locally, already cut and expensive. We came to the same place yesterday tried to get one. They didn't have any big tree as we wanted. We decided to take a trip to Halfmoon Bay. We thought they would also sell already cut trees there. Surprisingly, there were some places with "cut yourself trees". We stopped at 2 other places before heading to 4-C's Christmas tree farm. A bit disappointed from the previous ones where they had not good shape trees or the prices were high. We found what we wanted in 4-C's CTF: 6-8 feet trees in beautiful shapes. They have plenty sizes in 3 different types of Christmas trees. Prices ranged from $45-$55 if you cut yourself. They lended us a saw. If we count the gas and toll fee (we drove across the bridge), the total price would become higher for the tree. But it was worthed. We enjoyed the "hunting tree" time in such a big farm. Our kid had a great time running there, seeing her daddy to cut down the Christmas tree. I wondered why there was not any recent review for 4-C's farm. You won't disappoint to come here. read more

Great customer service! This was my family's first time visiting a tree lot. It was nice seeing all the families out there buying. My only concern was e wry tree in the lot I was looking cost $75.00-size didn't matter. Well, my tree didn't last long. Once it got cut, it died. I kept water and tree food in hopes to bring g it back to life. I think this year, I'll just buy from my local tree lot. read more

What a WONDERFUL place!!! We usually buy our Christmas tree at the most popular tree lot called Santa's but this time we went a little bit further down and found a true gem. This lot of trees had several varieties of tree and they were all BEAUTIFUL. The people working here were so helpful and friendly. We have found a new tradition in where we will be getting our tree from now on. read more

5 Star experience on our taking pics chopping down the tree. Minus stars for the misleading sign and overcharging. Just picked up a Douglas fir tree (we assumed because we have pictures in the lot next to the sign that says "Douglas fir"). Brought the car around to return the saw and pay, and the lady Jennifer said "that's a spruce so $65 even". Confused, we continued up to the counter and the lady said it looked like a spruce but not sure... and then she asked Jennifer who confirmed its a spruce. Misleading signs are frustrating :( I'm not bothered by paying $10 more. What bothers me is that there were some Caucasian people in front of and behind us who said what tree they got and weren't questioned. That is really frustrating. We're in the Bay Area and don't expect this kind of service :( Would I come back? I probably will because I enjoyed the experience with my family, but hope that we won't be questioned next time :( Happy holidays!! read more

Best Christmas Tree Farm in the Bay Area. We are South African and really enjoyed our very first real Christmas Tree 'hunt'. Staff was very helpful and extremely friendly with great prices for all trees. Definitely recommended! read more

1st tip: Don't get your tree early. Our Norfolk pine is losing its needles after 3 weeks (with 5 days to go 'til Xmas). We cut an inch off the trunk when we got it home, but it barely drank water. I've since read online that this is typical for Norfolk pines. Fun experience sawing down tree. All trees are the same price, whether they are 3' or 8', so our Norfolk pine was $55 even though it's about 3 and a half feet high. (Somehow, I didn't get that.) But we wanted to support local agriculture, so we did it anyway. I wish Balsam firs grew in California so we could get a tree with the scent we associate with Christmas trees! read more

FYI- The Yelp address will lead you to an office building and the winery listed is incorrect as well. From the 101, take the 92 West, you will cross over a pond and go for about 4 miles on a windy rd. Next to the Nebbia Winery on the left. They have 2 types of trees Douglass Fir & something else? One was $45 & the other was $55, no matter how tall the tree you pick is. They also have pre-cut ones that smelled amazingly... but if I wanted a pre-cut honestly I would have just gone to a place closer to my home. It is cash/check only. Definitely fun to go pick your own tree & cut it down! If I were a better planner, I'd probably go tasting at the wine place on site, eat some food, then wear off the tipsiness by cutting down a tree... dangerous? Maybe, but it sounds like a good time to me. This address will get you close, but you might have to go a bit further... there are signs everywhere so you won't miss it: 12341 San Mateo Rd, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 read more

Good selection of Monterey Pines ($45), Douglas Firs ($55), Spruce ($65), Noble Firs (pre-cut, $80-$100). Self-service. You cut and load yourself. A blast for kids. Helpful staff will help you cut with an electric saw and load to your car if you're not the DIY type. No credit card; only cash or personal check. read more

We usually go to Santa's tree farm up The road from this place but unfortunately this year they didn't have a lot of tree select by the time we got there. So we found 4-Cs got a great tree, pics and help BUT the next day we had bugs, bugs everywhere! Flys and roley poli's! We had to get rid of the tree right away! Wasn't worth the struggle of dealing with that. Waste of money and time. Sticking to the same farm but for now fake tree it is and more money out the window! read more

It pains me to have to write this as I don't like to ever give a company a bad review but I feel compelled. We wasted a lot of time and money on our tree this year which is frustrating. We even called yesterday multiple times to discuss this with them and NO ONE has called back...Beyond upset about our Christmas tree!!! OUR TREE IS DEAD! 2 weeks after buying it. It's almost brown and it completely stopped taking the water. We even took all the decor off, flipped it on its side and re-cut the bottom a few days ago. We are praying that it looks somewhat nice for our huge Christmas party this weekend. What a complete bummer!! Redecorating the tree, cleaning the whole house again and wasting $65 was not a great Christmas present!! Just wish we would at least get a call back from the tree farm. read more

Choosing and cutting our own tree was a tradition I grew up with, and one I wish to continue with my kids. It's so much fun. The kids can get involved in the hunt, you feel more part of nature, and you know exactly what your tree will look like without waiting for it to settle (as opposed to cutting open half a dozen netted trees in a hardware store parking lot, only to discover a shark bite taken out of this one and several snapped limbs on that one). The trees are fresher, they smell better, and they last longer. Four C's has a great selection of excellent trees. Pre-cut Noble Firs; everything else, you cut. This year, the staff recommended a spruce tree (they just started selling them last year). Not as dense as Doug Firs, yet not as airy as Nobles. A good cross between the two (and at about half the price of a similarly-sized Noble). We are very pleased with our tree (worth noting, the spruces are a bit prickly). Let Santa's Tree Farm swallow up the kitsch crowd... unless that's what you want. If so, you can stop up the road at STF for pictures. But come to Four C's to get the tree. read more

I do not recommend going to this Christmas Tree Farm! The minute that Christmas tree was in our home tons of big bugs were flying around the house! It took weeks to get rid of them! I am never going to go to 4-C's Christmas Tree Farm again! read more

Wonderful place with plentiful, beautiful and healthy trees. They have pre-cut trees or ones you can cut in your own for the more adventurous types. Excellent customer service and efficient process. We went to another lot first and were disappointed at the quality and price. For half the price, you can get twice the tree here. We will definitely be back next year and make going to 4-Cs a Christmas tradition. read more

Came here the weekend after thanksgiving. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great selection of trees, happy to help us load it on the car. read more

We cut a 8 foot Norwegian spruce at the 4-C's. It's a great tree ... well shaped and absolutely beautiful. They even gave us a saw so we could cut the tree down. Their staff carried the tree from the field, wrapped it, and loaded it into the car. So very helpful! This tree is so fresh it's going through a gallon of water a day! It will still be fresh and lovely on Christmas Day and might even be fresh until Epiphany. Last year's tree lasted until Epiphany! read more

Beautiful full trees! Great service full selection of quality trees! We will be back here next year!!

My family and I have been buying fresh trees at 4-C's farm for the last 7 years. Our very first Christmas was so incredible that we didn't want to throw it away. The tree simply filled our house with Christmas. However, over the years, the quality of the trees have been a disappointment. The trees dry out faster and no Christmas tree smell . The worst part is always the money you have to pay because it's expensive. Yeah, we could go to Costco or Home Depot or a Christmas tree lot by the mall but we want to support local farms which means-you pay a little more. We don't mind the "more" part but the quality has to be there, right? This past year, the same size and kind of tree set us back $145. This year, we're looking for another tree farm that can give us that same memory of 7 years ago. Even though it hasn't been working for us, the folks who run this tree farm are excellent and friendly. read more

Totally friendly staff. As we were driving around, they all said hi or waved. Trees were totally awesome!!!! Such great quality. Much better than Santa's, but as the years go by, trees just aren't growing as fast. Hopefully 4-C's can keep it up. Price for my Douglas Fir was just a tiny cheaper than others. We'll be back. read more

we came very late to look for a tree (12/21). We had already been to 3 lots (2 closed, one terrible) so we were kind of desperate. 4-C's was closing for the day but they took pity on us and were kind enough to let us in. Eureka! We found a really nice, 8 foot tree. Not only that, but the owner helped us get it on the car. He was extremely kind and the overall experience was great. Thank you for the merry Xmas. read more
