Municipal Tree Inventory

What This Service Involves

A defensible inventory is the foundation of proactive urban forest management and is frequently required for grant funding and management plans. Our arborists collect species, diameter, condition, clearance conflicts, and recommended actions for each tree, geolocated for your GIS platform. Data is delivered in formats compatible with common asset management and mapping systems, with summary analytics on canopy distribution and risk. The resulting dataset lets your agency prioritize pruning cycles, removals, and replanting by need rather than complaint.

Benefits

Field-collected arborist data supports defensible, standards-based decisions; GIS-ready deliverables integrate with existing asset systems; condition and risk ratings prioritize limited maintenance budgets; canopy analytics strengthen grant and management-plan applications; baseline records enable measurable urban forestry goals

Our Process

1) We define the inventory scope, data fields, and delivery format with your staff; 2) Arborists collect geolocated tree data across the agreed area; 3) We quality-check records and compile condition and risk analytics; 4) We deliver the GIS dataset and a summary report for planning

What Affects the Cost

Number of trees and geographic extent surveyed; depth of data fields and risk assessment collected; GIS integration and deliverable formatting; repeat or update cycle frequency; prevailing-wage field labor for the jurisdiction

Best Time of Year

Field data collection is most efficient during the growing season when foliage aids species identification, though structural surveys continue year-round.
