What I do especially at the lower bands is put the antenna up in the air around 10 to 12 feet and adjust it to just below the bottom of the band. For example for 40M I would tune for best VSWR at 6.95MHz. Then when the antenna was raised the resonant point moved up in frequency to 7.1MHz. I know it's not the best way but it worked.
I tried this with a 4-el 10M Yagi on a push-up at about 10 ft, and the resonance actually moved down when I raised it to 20 ft, which is where I run it.
