Expert Tree Inventories for Your Property from Certified Arborists

Managing a property with dozens of trees can feel overwhelming. Let Arbor Masters help you keep track of every tree on your property, HOA, apartment complex, or small municipal plot with our expert tree inventory services. We offer three distinct tree inventory styles to provide valuable insights into your trees’ health and necessary care:

Sample Inventories 

With a sample inventory, we examine a random selection of trees on your property to get an idea of the overall health and diversity of your tree population. We can draw conclusions that apply to all the trees on your land or property in Cedar Rapids.

Partial Inventories

Partial inventories focus on certain groups of trees, like older ones or species that might spread diseases in Cedar Rapids. This method doesn’t cover every tree but helps us pinpoint specific problems, allowing you to take action on trees that might pose a risk.

What is a Tree Inventory?

A tree inventory assesses and catalogs the species, size, health, and location of each tree on your property. Think of it like a diagnostic check for your landscape and outlining maintenance needs. This information allows homeowners and property managers to proactively manage tree health, reduce safety hazards, and plan for future growth. Our Certified Arborists use advanced tools, such as ArborPro software, to perform precise inventories, so that you receive comprehensive data to keep your property organized and attractive.

“The supervisor was knowledgeable and professional, paying attention to safety and my property. I spoke with the other two guys who were respectful and hard-working. All 3 wore safety gear at all times and were attentive to detail, cleaning up after themselves. I highly recommend this company and this team.”

“On Time, Polite, Professional, & Knowledgable.”

"The crew was on time, was very polite, professional, & knowledgeable about tree care. They reviewed the work to be done to make sure I would be happy with the results. After they were almost finished they asked if there was anything else. I had asked that they cut up the larger limbs into fireplace sized logs rather than grind them up. They not only did this but helped load them into the wagon I was using to haul them to the backyard. Very Pleased with the results. (Clean-up was Excellent!) Would Highly Recommend Advantage Tree Service as they did an outstanding job!"

"This is the firm to use for all your tree needs. I can't stress enough how professional and pleasant they were. I would give them 10 stars if possible.
