Dan & Bryan’s Christmas Trees

First Xmas in DC, so I was forced to feel out a new place from which to buy the perfect tree. I found Dan and Brian on Unilocal and decided to take the leap of faith. Turns out I made the right choice, much to the satisfaction of my EXTREMELY picky partner. The lot had beautiful, fragrant trees that were robust, and were well priced. The guys were super friendly and helpful. I chatted with one of the guys while he placed a tree on top of my jeep and tied it down for me. The entire visit took about 20 mins. The tree made is safely home, and it looks absolutely gorgeous! My guess is that I will be back to see them next year! FYI: I paid $ 96 for a BEAUTIFUL 8ft Fraser Fir. They take cash AND cards…

We have been going here for years to get our trees. They are expensive, but they come with a hole drilled in the bottom, and if you have their stand, it is a snap to set up the tree– almost. The original firm sold to Dan and Bryan a couple do years ago. This year, when we arrived at the lot, the guy running it was surly at best. I found a tree, which looked like it might have had a leaning spine, and asked about it. Was assured it was the slope of the land it was on. Flat out lie. Got the thing home, and it. Is leaning badly. When we put the tree up, we noticed that the drill hole was very off-​center, so that may be the problem. My husband and I are older, he is blind, we were not lugging the thing back, so we called and called and called. Three numbers, no answer. We tried the internet, got one response asking for more information and hVe neared nothing back since we responded. If this was a fifty dollar tree, it would be okay, but not when you pay over $ 100. It turns out that there are other places in town that have the drill-​hole, so this is our last tree from here. This is a good place gone bad.

Super friendly. No pressure. Measured our base to cut just the right amount of branches off the bottom. Loaded tree onto car. A pleasure doing business with these guys.

This was my first year buying a Christmas tree from Dan & Bryan’s — and what a wonderful experience it was. The staff were so friendly at their Chevy Chase location and the prices were beyond reasonable. Going here gave me the nostalgic and genuine experience I’ve always associated with Christmas… and I have Dan & Bryan’s to thank for that.
If you’re looking to support a local, family-​run business with friendly staff and reasonable prices, this is your best bet when ’tis the season.

Every year without fail, Dan & Bryan’s (formerly Sundback) Christmas Trees fill the air with the yuletide aroma of Douglas and Fraser firs. For as long as I can remember, these guys have been supplying Christmas trees to the DC area (mainly, I’d assume, neighborhoods like Spring Valley, Tenleytown and Glover Park) for as long as I can remember. A 6 foot Douglas cost us $ 79 this year. The fella who cut the tree mounted it onto our car free of charge. In all it took about 10 minutes from parking to getting the tree. Go during a weekday if you can; it’s a lot less crowded than it can get at night and on weekends.
