Understanding the Power of Tree Inventories
We all want to make informed decisions using data, but many of us don’t extend this to our trees. A tree inventory can give you the data you need to make intelligent choices regarding tree care as well as other benefits, such as:

Choosing the Right Inventory
The three distinct types of inventories are useful for different organizations and purposes. Some instances where you may want a certain type of inventory include:
Sample Inventory: Sample inventories are often the most cost-effective of the three, as they allow you to have a good idea of the trees on your property without plunging into a full inventory.
Full Inventory: A full inventory is an excellent investment for a company or person who purchased a new piece of land and wants to know every aspect of its trees. You’ll have complete information and can make the most informed decisions possible.
Partial Inventory: We may recommend a partial inventory if you have a large property and are concerned about a specific problem (such as recent sightings of emerald ash borer on a property with several ash trees).
Our Tree Inventory Process
Tree Inventories are not services we provide daily, and some may not know what it looks like when you hire us to perform one. We’ve outlined our process so that you know what to expect when you hire us.
Initial Assessment
We’ll take a look at your property and get an idea of the scope of the project and what kind of tree inventory you’d like us to perform.
Provide Quote
Our team will send you an electronic quote with the full details of the price and type of tree inventory you’ve requested.
Tree Inventory
We’ll schedule you for the inventory once you accept the quote and then we will walk the property on the chosen day and examine your trees.
Collect Data
We’ll record data on your trees in our state-of-the-art software to keep track of their size, species, age, condition, and more.
Provide Feedback
Once we finish, we can provide you with a copy of the data, and we’ll make recommendations about your trees and their needs.
Who Can Benefit from a Tree Inventory
While some may not appreciate the power of a tree inventory, they have far-reaching benefits for many individuals and entities. Tree inventories can have practical benefits for:
HOA Boards: A tree inventory can examine all trees in the community and ensure they are healthy.
Large Retail Areas: A tree inventory can check for signs of stress in your trees that deal with heat that is radiated from parking lots and roads.
Municipalities: Small municipalities can learn about their street trees and check their condition with a tree inventory.
Apartment Complex Owners: The trees in the common ground of an apartment complex need regular maintenance to remain healthy.
Colleges and Schools: Trees help create aesthetic appeal on campuses, and a tree inventory can check for signs of stress with them.
