Tree Inventory

What This Service Involves

A current inventory is the foundation of any defensible urban forestry program, and our crews build yours tree by tree using GPS-enabled field collection. For each tree we record species, diameter, height class, condition rating, observed defects, and recommended maintenance, tied to a mappable location. Data is delivered in a format compatible with your GIS or asset-management system so staff can query, budget, and schedule from it directly. We can inventory street trees, park trees, or an entire jurisdiction, and refresh existing datasets that have gone stale. The result is an actionable asset register that supports grants, canopy goals, and risk management.

Benefits

Creates a defensible baseline for forestry planning; GIS-ready data integrates with existing asset systems; Supports grant applications and canopy-goal reporting; Turns reactive tree work into scheduled maintenance

Our Process

1) Scope definition and data-field standard agreed with staff; 2) GPS field collection of species, size, and condition; 3) Defect notes and recommended-maintenance coding per tree; 4) GIS-ready dataset delivery and staff walkthrough

What Affects the Cost

Total tree count and geographic extent; Number of data attributes collected per tree; Level of condition and defect assessment; GIS integration and deliverable format; New inventory versus update of existing data

Best Time of Year

Field data collection is most efficient in the leaf-off dormant season when structure and defects are visible, though condition work can extend into the growing season.
