Tree Inventories

Why Tree Inventories Are Essential for Commercial Properties:

• Create a complete record of all tree assets on the property
• Develop data-driven maintenance schedules and budgets
• Comply with documentation requirements from insurers or municipalities
• Support proper valuation for insurance purposes
• Provide evidence of reasonable care if incidents occur
• Enable strategic decision-making for tree population management
• Plan appropriate actions during development or property upgrades
• Implement effective tree preservation initiatives
• Establish baseline data to measure progress over time
• Demonstrate good stewardship as an environmentally responsible business
  

The Foundation of Proactive Tree Care:

A comprehensive tree inventory provides detailed documentation of every tree on your property. While tree risk assessments focus on evaluating tree health and hazards, inventories create a complete record of your tree assets for long-term management.

Our team inventories trees by location, cataloging information such as:

• Species
• Size - diameter at breast height (DBH)
• Height
• Age class
• Overall health
• Maintenance needs
• Risk rating

We map the location of each inventoried tree using GPS coordinates. Pictures are also taken for visual reference. The data is compiled into a detailed report including reference maps and tables.

Maintaining a complete inventory enables effective tree management by:

• Identifying high risk trees for priority mitigation
• Scheduling required maintenance and inspections
• Supporting tree preservation during development
• Complying with municipal or insurer documentation requirements
• Substantiating property value for tax purposes
• Planning and budgeting for future tree work

Tree inventories should be updated periodically. We can perform full re-inventories or do incremental updates to capture changes over time. Keeping accurate tree records is a best practice for commercial properties, municipalities, and large community associations.
