Tree Inventory & Mapping

Tree Inventory & Mapping Software for Arborists

Keep a record of every tree on every property you work. Track species, measurements, condition, risk rating, service history, and GPS location, all tied to the customer and property.

Know Every Tree on Every Property

You can't plan a season of work or back up a recommendation without knowing which trees are on a property and what shape they are in. Whether you care for a commercial campus, an HOA community, or residential properties, ArborDash keeps the tree inventory inside your CRM, so each tree is tied to the customer and property it belongs to. The same catalog holds bushes, shrubs, lawns, garden beds, driveways, patios, fences, and other site features.

Each tree record holds the species (from a built-in list with common and scientific names, or a custom name), a tag number, diameter at breast height (DBH), height, canopy spread, and an overall condition rating from excellent to dead. A checklist covers 16 common health issues, including decay, crown dieback, root damage, codominant stems, and included bark. Set GPS coordinates from your phone's location or by clicking the spot on a satellite map. Each time you update DBH, height, or canopy spread, the new reading is saved with the date, so you can see how a tree has changed between visits.

Give each tree a risk rating of low, moderate, high, or extreme, and pick work recommendations from a list of 20 common services, from crown thinning and cabling to stump grinding and full removal. Crews can log a tree from the job site on their phone with species, DBH, condition, risk, health issues, GPS location, and a photo. Filter the inventory by risk or condition, or sort by either column, to see which trees need attention first.

Service history builds as you finish work. On a job's property map, link a tree to the service line that covers it. When the job is marked complete, the service, date, and job are added to that tree's history and its last-service date updates. You can also log past work by hand. When a tree comes down, mark it removed with the stump status and a reason, and it leaves the active inventory. For the customer, export a property's master map as a PDF with a satellite snapshot, each mapped item numbered, and a table of type, DBH, condition, risk, and GPS coordinates. Download it, print it, or email it from ArborDash.

  • Species tracking with common and scientific names
  • DBH, height, and canopy spread measurements
  • Overall condition rating plus a 16-item health issue checklist
  • Risk rating from low to extreme
  • GPS coordinates for spatial mapping
  • Service history logged when linked jobs are completed
  • Work recommendations from a list of 20 common services
  • Photos tagged as damage, trunk, canopy, roots, or before and after

How It Works

  1. Open Trees & Maps and add an entry. Choose the customer and property, then record species, measurements, and GPS location.
  2. Set the condition, risk rating, health issues, and work recommendations, then add photos.
  3. On a job's property map, link each tree to the service line that covers it. When the job is marked complete, the work is added to the tree's service history.
  4. Filter the inventory by species, condition, or risk, and export a property's map and tree table as a PDF for the customer.

How do I add trees to the inventory?
You can add trees three ways. From the Trees & Maps page, add an entry with species, measurements, condition, and GPS location. On a property's satellite map, drop a pin for each tree and save it to the inventory. Or have crews log trees from the job site during their route, with a photo taken on their phone.
Does the tree inventory work with municipal contracts?
It works for a city, park district, or campus you track as a customer. Each tree record can hold GPS coordinates, species, condition, and risk, and you can filter the inventory by species, condition, risk, or customer. For each property, you can export the satellite map with a numbered table of every mapped item as a PDF, or email it from ArborDash. The inventory list shows up to 500 entries at once, most recently updated first, so filter by customer to narrow it. There is no spreadsheet export yet, so today it fits sites with hundreds of trees better than a citywide inventory.
How does the risk rating work?
You set a risk rating of low, moderate, high, or extreme on each tree record, and crews can set one when they log a tree in the field. Alongside it you record the overall condition, health issues such as cavities, split trunks, or girdling roots, notes, and photos. You can filter and sort the inventory by risk, and the rating appears in the property map PDF.
