Trees for Raytown
Reforest and Beautify
“Trees for Raytown” is a program developed in 1987 by the Raytown Parks & Recreation Department to help reforest and beautify the Raytown Community. The trees will be of good quality and offered at a competitive price. In an effort to keep the cost of this program low, no survival guarantee is avavailable. However, with proper care and maintenance these trees should transplant and grow easily for you.
Spring orders will be taken from March 15 through April 15 and Fall orders will be taken from August 15 through September 15. Delivery and/or planting will be within 2-3 weeks after closing date. All trees this fall are $31 each, to have each tree planted there is a $20 additional charge and you must live within the Raytown city limits. We cannot plant within 4′ of an existing structure or stump. Planting services are available to individual residences not homeownervassociations or commercial property.
Ornamental Trees – Flowering Crabapple, Fruitless Crabapple, Flowering Dogwood(spring only), Washington Hawthorne, Ornamental Pear, and Red Bud.
Shade Trees – Bald Cypress, Black Gum, Red Maple, Pin Oak and White Oak.
The Raytown Tree Board & Smith Bros. Hardware have sponsored the annual Tree of the Year contest for Raytown Citizens. Being one of the older communities in the metro area, Raytown has many wonderful trees to recognize and celebrate.
