We begin every project with a comprehensive property assessment, analyzing your soil composition, sunlight patterns, drainage conditions and spatial limitations. This up-front analysis allows us to recommend species that will thrive in your specific environment rather than struggle against it. Our arborist consultations provide expert guidance on selecting the right plants for your goals. We source all plant material from trusted local nurseries, so you receive climate-acclimated, premium-grade stock.
Tree and Shrub Installation
Investing in new trees and shrubs transforms your property’s appearance and value, but only when the job is done right. Without proper planting techniques and species selection, your landscape investment faces a high risk of failure within the first year. Understanding your tree installation cost means evaluating not just the up-front price, but the long-term value of working with experienced professionals who give your new trees and shrubs a stronger foundation for healthy growth.
Rite-A-Way Tree Service delivers professional tree and shrub installation, backed by over 50 years of experience serving the St. Louis and St. Charles areas. Our team applies certified arborist guidance to help every plant start with the right conditions for healthy, long-term growth.
Our Tree and Shrub Installation Services
Our comprehensive shrub installation services cover every phase of the planting process, from initial planning to post-installation care, backed by certified arborist expertise.
Our certified team executes the technical work that determines long-term plant survival. We dig each hole exactly twice as wide as the root ball to combat St. Louis clay and encourage rapid root spread. The root flare is positioned at grade level, never buried under soil or mulch, which can suffocate it. We remove all restrictive wire baskets and burlap wrapping, preventing the root girdling that kills trees years after planting.
Following installation, we provide detailed care instructions tailored to your specific plants, covering critical watering schedules, mulching depth and fertilization timing during the vulnerable first growing season. Our tree healthcare services can support your new plantings with fertilization and disease prevention as they mature.
