Define the data
Collect what your decisions actually need.
| Record | Management use |
|---|---|
| Tree ID and mapped location | Find the same tree during future inspections and vendor visits. |
| Species and size | Understand the tree population and plan an appropriate maintenance scope. |
| Condition and observations | Identify trees that need attention or a separate risk assessment. |
| Recommended action and priority | Group work for estimating, approvals and scheduling. |
| Inspection and completion history | See what was observed, authorized and completed over time. |
Fields, mapping detail and reporting formats are agreed for your project. This is a scope example, not a sample customer record.
Put it to work
A baseline for budgets, vendors and future reviews.
Use a consistent inventory to discuss priorities with ownership, define vendor scopes and connect completed work to future planning. Across multiple properties, an agreed data standard makes records easier to compare and maintain.

- One property or a portfolio?
- Every tree or selected priority areas?
- Existing map, survey or spreadsheet?
- Which budget or maintenance decision comes next?
FAQ
GIS Digital Tree Inventory questions
What information is included in a tree inventory?
The exact fields depend on the property, but commonly include location, species, size, condition, observable defects, maintenance recommendations, and priority.
Does every tree need to be inventoried?
Not always. Some properties need a complete inventory, while others benefit from a targeted inventory of priority zones, mature trees, or trees near people and structures.
How often should an inventory be updated?
Update frequency depends on property use, canopy condition, recent storms, construction activity, and the management plan. Completed work should also be added to the maintenance history.
