Helping the Quad Cities Manage Trees with Confidence

Throughout the Quad Cities, trees play a significant role in our communities. At Advantage Tree Services, part of the Arbor Masters family, we help large property owners and managers understand their trees better with our detailed inventory services. We offer three main types of inventories to fit different needs:

Sample Inventories 

Our sample inventories look at a selection of trees on your property. This gives you a quick overview of your trees' health and types without checking every single one.

Partial Inventories

Sometimes you might want to focus on certain trees. Our partial inventories let you do just that. We can look at older trees, trees of a specific type, or trees in busy areas.

What is a Tree Inventory?

Think of a tree inventory as a detailed list of all the trees on your property. We note important facts about each tree, such as species, size, location, and condition. This information helps property owners make smart choices about tree care and future landscaping plans.

Common Questions About Tree Inventories

A tree inventory gives you a clear picture of all the trees on your property. It records important details like tree type, size, health, and location. This information helps property owners make informed decisions about tree care and landscape planning.

Tree inventories are helpful for anyone who manages properties with many trees. This includes property managers, homeowners associations, local government agencies, and large property owners. It helps them keep track of tree health and address potential issues early.

Yes, it can. A tree inventory gives you a plan for tree care expenses. It helps you decide which trees need attention first, estimate costs for different services, and plan for long-term care. This approach can help prevent surprise expenses and help you use your budget more effectively.

For our tree inventories in the Quad Cities, we use a mix of high-tech tools and good old-fashioned expert knowledge. This includes GPS devices, special tree software for collecting data, and careful observation by our experts. These tools help us gather accurate, detailed information about your trees.

There are several good times to get a tree inventory in the Quad Cities area. After big storms, an inventory can find hidden damage. Before starting construction or landscaping projects, it helps protect valuable trees. If you notice changes in tree health across your property, an inventory can help find patterns. Regular inventories (every 3-5 years) are also good for ongoing landscape management.

Top-Notch

"Working with these guys was top notch from start to finish. Bill came out on time to give us an estimate. We walked around and showed him everything we wanted to do. He took pictures and had a detailed estimate ready for us by the time he left. We got an email letting us know when the crew would arrive and they came as scheduled. This was the second time we had used Arbor Masters. I would definitely recommend them."
