Tree Inventory

You can’t know what to do until you know what you have. We can assist you with a variety of inventory options from field data collection to remote sensing analysis depending on the intensity of our information needs. Some individual characteristics that may be assessed during a tree inventory include:

  • Location
  • Size
  • Type
  • General condition and health
  • Damage
  • Special conditions

We have helped establish a comprehensive database of actionable intelligence for our clients’ trees that will allow them to make informed decisions in the care of their property.

Tree Management Planning

Once your tree inventory is complete and you know what you have, now you must decide what to do with this information. The SavATree Consulting Group can provide you with actionable tree intelligence to prioritize your tree management decisions with limited resources for maximum efficiency.

Tree Canopy Assessment

We use high resolution remotely sensed imagery fused with LiDAR data to provide sub-meter high resolution land cover maps. We can combine these with other datasets to assess the existing and potential tree canopy at a variety of scales from the parcel to the jurisdiction and beyond.

Tree Assessment and Forecasting

We can process your tree inventory through iTree tools to tell you the amount of canopy you have and the ecological benefits that your trees provide. We can also use iTree to project the lifespan of your current population and model scenarios of tree planting in future years to result in the same amount of tree canopy over time. One project we performed that included the use of iTree technology was our case study involving the city of Durham, North Carolina. We helped to assess their street tree canopy and made projections for the future in hopes of assisting them in continuing to maintain a healthy, sustainable canopy.

The Final Product

SavATree’s Consulting Group delivers actionable tree intelligence in formats that work for you, and you own the data. We believe in “open data”, which means that we deliver everything to you in a usable and uploadable format. We don’t keep you from your data by requiring a proprietary software purchase. Whether you engage with us on a tree inventory or a management plan, we will deliver the results in a digital map that can be queried. It will include an Excel document with details and a PDF. We provide a CSV table so that you can upload into other applications. And, of course, we stand ready to assist in understanding and implementing recommendations to attain your tree canopy objectives!

Great company with very knowledgeable arborists who love plants! Wonderful to do business with. I had used our general landscaping business prior for tree and bush trimming and this is 3 heads above in skill. Would highly recommend to anyone who cares about their outdoor plantings!

Another fantastic job by Monty's crew! Because of their previous tree maintenance, my trees survived a direct hurricane hit. This time they trimmed the dead branches and cleaned up the debris so the trees and yard looks better than ever!

I have been using SaveATree for several years. They literally did save a tree for me; a pine tree that was dying and needed more than water to recover. Then they began pruning my trees after storm damage with professional results. The trees thrived. Now I am on a schedule for nutrition and disease control along with regular pruning. Colorado wind, hail, snow, altitude and soil has a profound...

Mr. Amoto (now Mr.Amoto/SavATree) has been my go-to tree company for around 15 years. They’ve taken care of tree trimming and tree removal in hard-to-get-to places. It’s been a pleasure to work with Matt Boyd and his crew over the years.

I am posting this for my mom in Boulder, CO: They have lit our 50 foot linden trees two years in a row. The pictures cannot do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. The staff is so helpful and kind. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Nick was an amazing arborist and unbelievable amount of knowledge. They did everything agreed upon in a timely manner and left my yard better than they found it with cleanup. Will absolutely use them again in the future. Thank you

Ashley and her tree trimming crew, lead by Neil, did a great job working around the needs of our neighbors to gain road passage to/from their homes. They were responsive to our changing tree cutting needs, very professional and cost effective. We received quotes from numerous other tree services that were two to SIX times more expensive. Start your quote process with SavATree. You'll find...
