Creekside Tree Nursery

I’ve been slowly landscaping my own backyard for a year and a half now (from a mound of dirt) and have scouted out many nurseries around town for both price and quality. I can tell you this is a goldmine for trees! They have the best prices and the best quality trees. You can get much larger caliper sizes here for half the price you pay at other places. I’ve purchased 3 trees from them now and all are doing great, even with my horrible clay soil and climate 5 conditions. They really take care of their trees and all of the staff is very knowledgeable. I’ve heard that some people visit just to walk and enjoy the many isles of trees and I can relate-it’s very pretty! They have all size varieties even up to very mature trees which helps me be able to plan out what a smaller tree will grow to be in my own space. They are a family owned business and I’d love to see them succeed just due to their honesty, quality, and value which is hard to come by these days. This place is a hidden gem.

This place has a huge selection of large trees and shrubs. Everyone is very helpful and more than willing to spend the time helping me when I’m there. I especially like their selection of harvested aspens. I’ve purchased several now and they are growing perfectly in my yard. They are priced really well and the staff here packs them into my Jeep so I don’t have to pay delivery charges. I got my first Christmas tree here last year too and they were just as helpful. Great selection, friendly staff, good prices. I buy all of my trees here.

I had some initial issues with the tree but they came out and answered my questions.

This review is for Creekside Tree Nursery and their «Cut Your Own Christmas Tree Experience», in Niwot, and does not relate to the location in Boulder. I just didn’t see a listing for the Boulder location so am writing my review here.
First of all… save a trip, and save your money, and DON’T go to the Creekside Tree Nursery in Niwot for your Christmas tree! They claim they have an «experience» of cutting your own tree, but my family and I showed up to find that all they had were about 10 trees that had been previously cut and then «planted» in an empty field. That was disappointing enough, but then we looked at the price of the trees and just about DIED! The trees were all priced well over $ 100, some into the $ 150-​$ 250 range. For what??? A half-​dead tree planted in a field?
I was amazed to actually see people carting trees off this lot. Honestly, you could buy the same tree at any lot for half the price they were charging. The entire «experience» was a joke.
Next year we plan on just hiking into the forest and getting a tree. What a waste of time this was! Never again. :(

This is the place to get Christmas trees! They have a wide selection and they are all very helpful, especially Daniel!

I bought 3 of 12 trees I planted last year from Creekside. The pear I planted immediately showed sign of blight. The cherry planted died this winter. The peach survived but no blooms like all the other 9 trees I planted from another vendor which thrived. Creekside has a terrible return policy of one year at 50% cost for replacement which might not be so bad but Creekside is also very, very expensive. Too… adding to injury, when we purchased the trees we spend easily 30 minutes wandering their elaborate grounds before I searched someone out to help. Before trying to replace these dead trees, I already would not be doing business with them.

We bought a Christmas tree from this nursery that ended up being bone dry, absorbing no water at all. After having spent almost $ 100 on our tree we were disappointed. Creekside would only give us a 50% off from the original and insisted that it was our fault because we live 15 minutes from the place we bought the tree. I wouldn’t do business with this company again.

Beautiful place with friendly people.

What a great place to get our Christmas tree! This place is a must for anyone who lives in Boulder or the surrounding areas. The property is picturesque and a lovely place to feel the holiday spirit. We met and chatted with one of the owners, Grant. He was so friendly and went out of his way to help us find our perfect tree. We really enjoyed the fabulous customer service from all of the employees. From offering to take our picture for us to cutting, wrapping and tying the tree to our roof (before we even knew it) they were happy to help. We’ll be sure to go here every year from now on for our Christmas Tree!
