Tree Inventories

We Love Trees

As the saying goes, “You cannot manage, what you don’t know you have.” Smart Tree Management Starts with a Plan.

At Texas Tree Surgeons, we understand that trees are more than just landscape features – they’re living assets that provide beauty, shade, cleaner air, and long-term value to your property. A professional tree inventory is the foundation of any effective tree management strategy. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, HOA, or municipality, our inventory services help you make informed decisions backed by expert insight and powerful data.

What is a Tree Inventory?

A tree inventory is a comprehensive, data-driven survey of all the trees on a property or in a specific area. It records key information about each tree, including species, size, location, condition, and maintenance needs. Using modern tools like GPS, GIS mapping, and digital tagging, our certified arborists collect and organize this information into an actionable format tailored to your specific goals.

Why Tree Inventories Matter?

Tree inventories are about more than just counting trees. They’re essential tools for:

Proactive Tree Care & Risk Management

• Identify high-risk or declining trees before they become liabilities
• Prevent property damage, injuries, and emergency tree removals
• Detect pest or disease outbreaks early for timely intervention

Smarter Budgeting & Maintenance Planning

• Prioritize pruning, removal, or treatment based on urgency and budget
• Avoid unexpected costs with a long-term maintenance strategy
• Plan future plantings with sustainability and biodiversity in mind

Enhancing Property Value & Safety

• A well-managed tree canopy adds value, reduces energy costs, and improves curb appeal
• Ensure trees don’t pose threats to homes, buildings, sidewalks, or utilities
• Support community goals for green infrastructure and climate resilience
  

What’s Included in a Tree Inventory?

Every tree inventory we perform is customized to your needs, but typically includes:

• Tree species and ID
• Diameter at Breast Height (DBH)
• Health and structural condition
• Location using GPS or GIS mapping
• Maintenance recommendations (e.g., prune, treat, monitor, remove)
• Risk ratings (high, moderate, low)
• Identification of potential planting sites
• Notes on surrounding conditions, such as soil health or utility conflicts

You’ll receive both a written report and an interactive, cloud-based map of your property’s trees – making ongoing management easy and transparent.

Who Needs a Tree Inventory?

A professional tree inventory is ideal for:

• Homeowners Associations (HOAs) managing common areas
• Commercial properties like business parks, shopping centers, and hotels
• Municipalities to better manage public trees in parks and medians.
• Developers planning construction around existing trees
• School and hospital campuses
• Real estate managers wanting to reduce liability and boost property value
