Tree inventory tied to the property, not a separate spreadsheet

Why tree inventory belongs inside your job software

A lot of tree inventory tools exist on their own, disconnected from the software you use to quote and bill jobs. That means re-entering the same tree data twice: once in a mapping tool, once in an estimate. ArboristDesk keeps the inventory attached directly to the property record, so a tree logged during one visit is already there the next time you estimate work on that same lot.

What gets tracked per tree

Species, approximate height and trunk diameter, general condition, and any notes from a past visit — storm damage, prior trimming, proximity to structures or power lines. Enough detail to write an accurate estimate without walking the property from scratch every time.

Job history per tree, not just per customer

Because inventory lives on the property record, you can see that the oak at 412 Maple St. was topped two seasons ago, or that the HOA's row of maples had cabling installed last spring — context that makes the next estimate faster and more accurate.

Included on Growth and Pro
