Fort Worth Tree Inventory
Tree Inventories seek to create a partial or complete picture of all the trees on a property. They are popular with municipalities, HOAs, and owners of large commercial properties. At Arbor Masters, we offer three distinct types of a tree inventory, including:
Sample Inventories
Partial Inventories
Full Inventories
Why You Should Have a Certified Arborist Conduct a Tree Inventory
Budget for Tree Care
A tree inventory will help you decide how much you’ll want to set aside for your tree care in the next year. Our inventory will tell you what trees need pruning or removed, so you can plan ahead of time.
Identify Risks Early
Most property owners and business owners are not able to recognize the signs of risk to a tree’s health that an ISA Certified Arborist can. We’ll catch problems early so you can get your trees help as soon as possible.
Determine Invasive Species
Have a mysterious tree on your property and not sure how it got there? We’ll determine if it’s invasive and if a professional should remove it.
Understand Property Value
Trees add value to your property, and the value they add is determined by the age, condition, and species of a tree. With a tree inventory, you’ll have this information when it comes time to assess your property’s value.
Follow Local Ordinances
Fort Worth is a Tree City USA community and has numerous ordinances and rules around trees. We’ll ensure you aren’t violating any of these ordinances.

What to Expect When You Hire Arbor Masters
We strive to make the process simple for you and effective for the trees. In general, our process follows these steps:
Initial Assessment
We’ll meet with you to determine the size of your property and the scope of the project to get an idea of what kind of tree inventory you want and the type of data you need.
Create a Quote
Once we have an idea of the scope, we can provide you with an estimate and timeline for the project. Once you accept the plan, we’ll get to work.
Conduct the Inventory
We’ll take a survey of your property, examine every tree on the property, and make notes of their age, condition, size, and any pressing concerns.
Record the Data
We use state-of-the-art software to record all the data from a tree inventory. Our software can quickly organize the data, making it easier to provide it to you and give you recommendations.
Provide Results
When we’re done, you’ll have data to use at your discretion to plan for future tree work. We may also provide some recommendations on how to care for your trees based on the data.
The Type of Tree Inventory That’s Right for You
Determining what type of tree inventory to have done is a crucial step and one we’d love to help you with.
Full Inventory: If you’ve just purchased a commercial property or have never had a tree inventory done before, you may want to opt for a full inventory that can help you understand everything about the area and its trees.
Partial Inventory: These are perfect when you are worried about a specific problem. For instance, if you know you have several ash trees on your property and read a report of increased emerald ash borer activity, a partial inventory of all ash trees will give you actionable information. Many municipalities choose to do this for street trees in the right of way.
Sample Inventory: A sample inventory is a cost-effective method to get information about your entire property without examining every tree. While you won’t have comprehensive data, you should have enough to plan for most tree work.
The Best Time of Year for Tree Inventory Services in Fort Worth
Arbor Masters performs tree inventories year-round. However, we find it easiest to perform the service in the summer months. This allows us to see the trees fully leafed out and get a better idea of the size and any signs of insects or diseases. Since most insects and diseases are not active in the winter, a tree inventory may not be able to catch a sick tree.
It may seem difficult to identify a tree in the winter when it has no leaves, but this isn’t a problem for our expert arborists. They can identify trees by their bark, buds, or branch structure.
Tree Inventory FAQs
Tree inventories are best for commercial clients, such as an HOA board, condo board, retail stores, or golf courses. We also offer tree inventories to smaller municipalities.
The size of the property and the amount of trees will heavily factor into the price of a tree inventory. The price also fluctuates depending on the amount of information you request from your tree inventory.
A tree inventory gives you an overview of all the trees, their condition, and any pressing concerns that you’ll want an arborist to handle.
A complete tree inventory is something worth doing every five to ten years.
