About Us

In 1984, Andy Payne followed in the footsteps of his father, Charles Payne Sr., and started Payne Christmas Trees. Over the years, with the help of many family members and friends, he grew the business, expanding to five locations in Baltimore, Howard, and Carroll counties. 

In 2018, the Payne family joined forces to open a new location in Elkridge, Maryland. This location allowed Payne Christmas Trees to expand further, providing the space to add holiday merchandise (and lots of it!) to its offerings.

We are so thankful to everyone who visits Payne Christmas Trees, and we especially love to hear stories from those who have followed us from our early years. We hope that the family experience we’ve cultivated can become a part of your traditions and memories for years to come.
