HOW TO PARTICIPATE
To participate in the program:
- Select your tree preference(s) from the list. Trees are approximately 1" to 3" in caliper depending upon the type of tree and 10' to 12' tall.
- Fill out the application and pay 50 percent of the cost of the tree. The 2023 resident's share per tree is $157.50 for the smaller caliper and $210.00 for the larger caliper. Submit the application with your check, made payable to the City of Creve Coeur, to the Public Works Department.
- At a later date you will receive a stake provided by the city which will be used to mark where you would like the tree(s) planted. Location(s) will need to be verified by city staff to ensure compliance with planting guidelines.
- The city's contractor will plant the tree in the public right-of-way. Trees are planted in late fall (late November, early December)
- The program offers a variety of trees—small to large, flowering and non-flowering, heavy to filtered shade. Trees are selected based on their ability to deal with urban conditions and safe to plant in the right-of-way such as non-fruiting varieties with root systems not likely to interfere with sidewalks or streets.
