Toby's Trees offers (by far) the best tree buying experience I have found to date. The staff is friendly, attentive and has way more knowledge about each type of tree than I would have expected. We love bringing the whole family because we always feel so welcome and taken care of. I was especially pleased this year, while other tree lots had much higher prices than previous years, Toby's Trees pricing had remained consistent and fair. I feel lucky to have this place available to us and hope they keep up the good work. read more

Just took my tree down on Jan 11 that we have had up since the day after Thanksgiving. The darn tree is still alive. We have been coming for years- love the service, quality of trees and price point. Highly recommend. read more

Toby's Christmas Trees - She is still alive after over 6 weeks! - Christmas Trees Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Called to ask if they had silver tip Christmas trees. The lady on the phone was friendly and helpful and even went to look for the right size tree I was looking for and sent me a pic of it so I wouldn't make a wasted trip over there. When I arrived, someone helped me immediately and had us ready to go in no time. We were in and out in record time- 20 minutes tops. We normally spend a minimum of an hour at tree lots. So happy with the service, selection and our tree :) Thank you! read more

We purchased a tree at Toby's tonight. I really enjoyed the experience. We recently moved to Walnut Creek and the owner spoke to us and told us they had been there for 35+ years which I thought was great. The staff were really friendly and the owner was very knowledgeable about the different kinds of trees. There is a ton of parking inside of Heather Farms where they are located. They also helped us load the tree inside of our small Jetta. Prices are reasonable and they offer different varieties of tress. We purchased a 7 foot Frasier fir for $50ish dollars. I would definitely buy a tree from Toby's again. Note: cash or check only. read more

Great help from staff. Liked the place. Some punk stole my 1957 hubcaps of my 55 Chevy truck, while in parking lot for 15 minutes. Anyone know who? read more

Toby's Christmas Trees - Some punk stole my hubcaps while in parking lot. Anyone know who? - Christmas Trees Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

after a few years with a live tree I went back to Toby's this year. There is a new owner but their quality and service hasn't changed. I've had the tree four weeks and it's still fresh, not a dry spot on it. I wish I could remember the names of the married couple that helped us, they were great. read more

This is the place to go. Beautiful trees of all sizes, excellent service, and very flexible with requests. This will be our go to spot for years to come. read more

Super helpful boys helping out with my Christmas tree. We've been coming here for years and they never disappoint.

No, these are not the cheapest trees but the quality & great customer service are worth it! They always have super friendly helpful staff here and a large selection of really high quality trees. It's a very nice old-fashioned lot, they do flocking & have a cute little set up. We have been back a few years in a row & it's always really good. They hire nice local high school kids too-shout out to Brandon who helped us tonight! read more

Have been coming here for a few years now, everyone is always in great spirits and the trees are great! I'm not sure if they're all high schoolers or college kids, but the guys out there helping us find trees are always knowledgeable, helpful, and super patient! Even load it up on our car free of charge (I always make sure to tip them though!) and have gotten all 3 of our trees home safely and they've all been a great addition to our house for the holidays! Our tradition is to get some peppermint hot chocolate and go find our tree at Toby's, it should be yours too! read more

It's a lot. With trees. I really cannot understand all the five-star reviews. There is nothing special about taking over a parking lot in a park and selling trees out of that space. There's literally nothing interesting about this spot. But if you need a tree and need somebody to inexpertly tie it to the top of your car, this will do the job. They're not great trees. Or healthy trees. I have legitimate concerns about any of the trees they sold actually holding up ornaments. These are NOT GOOD TREES. And they're trimmed/shaped, which I absolutely loathe. I wish I'd gone back to Alhambra or even Pete's - at least they have popcorn and atmosphere. Please don't be duped by this spot. I mean, we got a great deal on a crappy tree and my kids are happy. But we won't be back. I'd post a photo of our crappy tree but I'm too embarrassed to admit I actually paid for it. read more

We too are new to the area. Having moved from WA, finding a good tree was key for our family. Short of driving around, looking for a lot, and hoping for the best, we were happy to have found Toby's on Yelp. The staff was very friendly. They had a huge assortment of trees, and all were really nicely shaped and displayed. The prices were competitive with the store-based trees (ie: Home Depot, etc), and I think these were very fresh. We were able to find a fabulous smelling tree for $45 (bring cash or your checkbook). They can mount it on a stand for you if you like (added $$), and the friendly staff member carried it out to our truck for us. He also gave us the branches we trimmed from the bottom to add to our holiday smell throughout the house. Parking was easy, and we are happily hoping to be back next year!! read more

This is our second year buying a tree from Toby's. We usually take time to decide on a tree and I appreciate how we're not rushed but there's always someone there to offer help and answer our questions. Kenny was also really helpful when we couldn't decide between trees, he went ahead and put them side by side to allow us to better compare our choices. Last year we had it delivered and this year we took it with us and both experiences were great. read more

Tree lot is located in an asphalt parking lot, no dirt or mud to walk though when searching for the perfect tree. The prices and selection are good. read more

This place is great. I have been coming here the last three years and will continue to come back. Staff is very helpful and kind, not pushy. Was able to get an awesome tree and now they take credit cards (even though it does not say so on their profile yet) so even easier to purchase. Always has a great selection and is a comfortable and honest place to browse, and plenty of room for parking. Will continue to choose this place over others. Also, if it looks crooked in the picture, blame me, not the tree. Give me a break I set it up solo... read more

Toby's Christmas Trees - Christmas Trees Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Love this tree lot! We got our mini tree last year for our tiny apartment and came back this year for our medium tree in our slightly larger apartment They have an awesome selection of every size of tree, and the staff are everywhere & they're all so helpful and friendly. They also have a large inventory of wreaths, poinsettias, & all things holiday! This is our go-to spot! read more

We've been buying our tree from Toby's for nearly a decade. It was always a little bit more expensive than other lots, but we appreciated the customer service and genuine kindness from the staff. It was always worth it and it was always a joy to kick off the Christmas season there. Until this year. The lot was a mess due to heavy winds which knocked down a number of trees. I don't knock them for that at all, but as my sister, her two toddler nieces, and my 60+ yo parents were walking around selecting a tree, the young staff barely lifted a finger. When my father went to pay for the tree, he tried to pay by credit card, which Toby's doesn't take (cash or check only ). Again, that policy is fine, but the young man working the register didn't even tell my father they don't take credit card. He simply pointed to the sign. My father was confused and for whatever reason, the guy never actually verbalized or told my father that they don't take card. He just pointed at the sign and made no eye contact as my dad stood at the register confused. My father felt incredibly disrespected and went and bought a tree somewhere else. Needless to say it put quite the damper on the mood of things back home as we set up the tree. I don't know what that rude attitude was about. I'm not sure why our family was treated like that. As long-time loyal customers, it was incredibly disappointing. There are many different places we can buy a tree and you should never take your customers for granted. What a bummer. read more

Awesome service and great prices. Better than Pete's in just about every way. Very helpful and friendly. We will be repeat customers.

Thank you for the great service Kenny and Joe! Great selection of trees and wreaths. Smells just like Christmas everywhere. Appreciate your help and fair prices! Would definitely recommended! Merry Christmas! read more

We wish would have been able to find a tree from Toby's but unfortunately with the shortage of trees this year everywhere and my husband and I being super picky we left without one. Our experience with the staff of Toby's was great! They were very helpful moving and spinning trees around for us so we can get a better look at them. All of the staff was also very knowledgeable about the different variety of trees that they have for sale on the lot. The trees seemed very healthy and each tree was in water. We'll definitely try Toby's again next year. read more

Best place I've ever gotten a tree! Every employee was extremely helpful..... Genuinely! The variety of trees is awesome. You really get to see the difference between each type of tree. They also had a huge selection of Poinsettias, garland and reefs. After we chose our tree, the gentlemen cleaned it up to our liking and loaded it into the truck! Highly recommended... Make sure to bring cash because as if now that's the only form of payment they except..... Great job guys and gals!! -True Story read more

Love this tree lot! The trees are from Willamette Valley in Oregon and they are gorgeous! Whichever size you are looking for, they have it. The staff is super helpful as well! read more

Very nice tree lot right at heather farms park. We ended up stopping by after taking our dogs to dog park and got a poinsettia. We ended up coming back after deciding to get a mini table topper tree. Compared to another lot this place had a great selection, friendly staff, and was very nice to deal with. read more

Great customer service and tree selection! We will definitely be back again next year.

We went and got my son's first Christmas tree last night and we could not be happier! The selection was great, the prices were even better and the quality of the tree was the best! The staff was super helpful and we found our perfect tree. We will definitely be coming here for our tree every year! read more

We have gotten our trees here for a number of years. They are always helpful and friendly. They have great trees too! Note: They take cash, no credit cards. read more

Best tree experience in Contra Costa! Toby and the staff are as merry as you get! Prices are reasonable and selections great! Thanks Toby - until next year read more

These guys are the absolute best and my family had one of the best experiences today picking out a tree. We we shown around by the owner, Toby, who showed us several different types of trees, explained their origins, differences in look, smell, feel, etc. He was friendly, chatting to us about Oregon, where my husband is from, the Pittsburgh Steelers (again, hubby is a fan) and pulling out trees that fit what we were looking for.We really had a wonderful time and felt special to have the place to ourselves- they were still setting up, but let us know that if the trees weren't jumping out to us, that they'd happily pull more out to show us. He opened a beauty for us, straight from the Oregon coast, and we were sold. We made sure to grab some poinsettias and tree care on our way out (check out their garlands and wreaths. If we had a bigger place, I would've grabbed those as well!). Professional, friendly, gorgeous trees that are a reasonable price and family owned! Thank you Toby, for a beautiful tree and a wonderful start to the Christmas season- you've made a customer for life! read more

Awesome service, lots of great quality trees, and they even gave us a discount. Definitely recommend this place

5 stars for the staff. They were super helpful and loaded the tree onto our car for us. Really appreciated that! The prices were also great. However we keep finding tiny spiders in our tree!!!! What the heck read more

Happy Holidays! We did our traditional Toby's tree visit with the family this weekend. We were super pleased to see prices and selection similar to last year. Toby, Kennie, Pete and their staff are always happy and helpful. Another year of lasting memories with the kids! Get there soon or they may be sold out!!! Thanks Toby read more

Way more expensive than other tree lots. $65 for a four (4) foot tree, cash or Check only. Trees didn't have water in the trays. Service was marginal. Should be Grinches Christmas Trees. read more

Little pricey, but what do you expect buying a tree from a lot in Walnut creek... 100 bucks for a 7 foot heritage

Bought a tree here 4 years in a row. The staff is always super helpful and friendly and I'll be back next year. Cash only btw!

My husband and I just moved to the area and happened to stumble across this place while taking the dogs to the park. The employees were incredibly helpful and friendly! We were genuinely impressed with the customer service and left with a beautiful tree! read more

They were friendly and helpful. Loaded the tree how I wanted and they even asked me if I was ok with the price. I thought that was nice, but I just gave them what they'd asked for it. Great place to get a tree and they had a solid variety. A definite recommendation read more

Extremely nice service, the staff is helpful and the trees are phenomenal, definitely nothing like the selection here anywhere in the area. Would definitely recommend. read more

We had a great experience last year so of course we went back this year but selection was so so and I'm afraid the tree we got won't last us through Christmas, more than half of the needles have already fallen. Tried calling but no answer. :( read more

We Love this christmas tree lot! We have been getting our tree here every since we moved to walnut creek. The employees are always so helpful and friendly.
