Know Every Tree on Every Property
Professional arborists need detailed records of the trees they manage. Whether you are maintaining a commercial campus, a municipal tree population, an HOA community, or residential properties, having an accurate, up-to-date tree inventory is essential for planning work, tracking health trends, managing risk, and providing informed recommendations to your clients. Arbor Dash provides a comprehensive tree inventory system built directly into your CRM so that every tree record is linked to the property and customer it belongs to.
Each tree in your inventory includes fields for species identification (common and scientific names), diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, canopy spread, crown condition, trunk condition, root zone condition, and an overall condition rating. You can record GPS coordinates for each tree to create an accurate spatial record of the property, which is especially valuable for large commercial sites, municipal inventories, and campus management contracts where hundreds or thousands of trees need to be tracked and located efficiently.
The risk assessment capability in Arbor Dash follows ISA-standard tree risk assessment methodologies. For each tree, you can record the likelihood of failure, the size of the part likely to fail, the target (what could be damaged or injured), and assign an overall risk rating. This structured approach to risk documentation helps you prioritize work, justify recommendations to clients, and maintain defensible records in case of liability questions. You can set follow-up inspection dates and receive reminders when trees are due for re-assessment, ensuring that high-risk trees are monitored on an appropriate schedule.
Treatment history is tracked automatically as you complete work orders in Arbor Dash. Every pruning, removal, fertilization, pest treatment, cabling, bracing, or lightning protection job linked to a tree is recorded in the tree's history with dates, crew information, materials used, and photos. This gives you and your clients a complete timeline of care for every tree. When it is time to plan the next season's work, you can review treatment history and condition trends to make data-driven recommendations. For municipal and commercial clients who require detailed reporting, you can generate tree inventory reports filtered by species, condition, risk level, location, or treatment status and export them as PDF or Excel files for their records.
