Tree Inventory Services

Yes, tree inventories can be a valuable tool for budgeting for tree care. By providing detailed information about the species, size, health, and location of your trees, a tree inventory can help you:

• Prioritize Maintenance: Identify trees that require immediate attention or are at risk of disease or damage.
• Estimate Costs: Get a better understanding of the costs associated with pruning, fertilization, pest control, or removal of hazardous trees.
• Plan for Future Expenses: Create a long-term budget based on the anticipated needs of your trees.

Arbor Masters uses a variety of tools and techniques to conduct thorough tree inventories. One of our greatest assets is our software program, ArborPro, that records the information about each tree and creates clear maps and reports for our clients.

There are specific instances where a tree inventory is particularly recommended:

• After Severe Weather: Strong winds, heavy rain, or snow can cause damage to trees, such as broken limbs, uprooted trees, or weakened structures. A post-storm inventory can help identify and address any immediate safety concerns and assess the long-term health of the trees.
• When Purchasing New Property: A tree inventory can provide valuable information about the condition of the trees on a property before purchase. This can help identify potential hazards or maintenance needs that may affect the property's value or require additional expenses.
• Signs of Tree Decline: If your trees are exhibiting symptoms such as yellowing leaves, dieback, or unusual insect activity, a tree inventory can help diagnose the problem and determine the appropriate course of action.
• Before Construction Projects: A tree inventory can help identify trees that may be affected by construction activities and determine the best way to protect them.
• For Insurance Purposes: Some insurance companies may require a tree inventory to assess potential hazards and determine coverage.
• To Monitor Health: Regular tree inventories can help track the health and condition of your trees over time, allowing you to identify any changes or emerging problems.

The frequency of tree inventories can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. As a general guideline, it's recommended to conduct tree inventories every 2-5 years. However, properties with older trees or in areas prone to severe weather may require more frequent assessments.
