Delivery Options

Mature trees are not only heavy but extremely fragile, so to ensure our customers’ orders arrive in top condition, we deliver our trees personally, nationwide, using our own fleet and specialist equipment.

This means we can also offer a customised delivery service to suit the needs of each customer, from landscape contractor to elderly homeowner.

Your advisor will help you plan for your trees’ arrival when the time comes. Meanwhile, here is an overview to get you started.

Of course, we also offer a complete spectrum of planting services, which you can learn more about here.

  • Kerbside delivery - customer provides the man or machine power to offload from lorry.
  • Delivery with offload - the Majestic team carries offloading equipment on board so that the trees can be safely offloaded from the lorry to a position near the front of the property.
  • Delivery to planting area - the Majestic team provides appropriate man and/or machine power to get the trees from the lorry to the site of planting, according to the customer's specification.  This may include traversing patios, steps, or lawns and is particularly useful for those with difficult access conditions, or who lack the specialist equipment necessary to move very large stock.  A key aspect of this service is that Majestic assumes liability for any damage to the stock until it is safely set down in the designated position.  We can also go a step further and set the trees into the actual planting pits, provided these have been prepared ahead (see ‘Delivery to Tree Pit service’ below). 
  • ‘Delivery to Tree Pit’ service – This award-winning service is ideal for experienced landscapers who already have a team on site and all the standard machinery for preparing tree pits and backfilling.   The Majestic team deliver and place the trees into pre-prepared pits using our specialist lifting machinery, with a key aspect of this service being that Majestic retains all responsibility for any damage to the trees which may be incurred during the unloading and positioning process.   Staking/installing platipus anchors is an optional extra. You can read more about this speciality service here.
  • Delivery with full planting - the Majestic team provides all appropriate supplies, manpower, and machinery to offload, plant, and anchor trees, completing the planting to the highest standard of finish. All trees which we have planted carry a one year establishment guarantee.  You can learn more about our planting services here, and more about our warranties and guarantees here.

Delivery costs depend on distance, order size and the equipment required for offloading. You can get a rough estimate by entering your postcode in the delivery cost estimator within your basket. Your advisor will provide a firm quote as your order takes shape.

It’s worth keeping in mind the size of your stock: delivery costs for pots of 160 litres or less generally fall at the lower end of the range, while orders over 160 litres, which require an HGV for delivery, tend toward the higher end.

We maintain an extensive fleet, including a range of specialist planting machinery. For more information on what vehicles and machinery we are able to bring to site, please visit our Fleet and Planting Equipment Page

It’s important to assess the access conditions to your proposed planting position as this will impact on the size of vehicles we can use to deliver your trees and the planting machinery which will be practical to use to offload and position them. Your advisor will talk all this through with you, but meanwhile the independently minded can read more about access considerations on the Access Considerations page.
