What Is Tree Inventory?

A Tree Inventory is a detailed catalog of every tree on your commercial property, including its species, size, location, health status, and maintenance needs. This comprehensive record gives you a clear understanding of your property’s green assets—helping you make informed decisions about care, safety, and budgeting.

At Kolcun Tree Care, all inventories are performed by ISA Certified Arborists using industry-standard assessment methods. Whether you manage a business park, HOA community, municipal property, or campus, our inventories provide the data you need to protect your investment, meet compliance requirements, and maintain a healthy, attractive landscape.

Tree Inventory FAQs

Comprehensive tree cataloging services to support property planning, risk management, and sustainable landscape development
  • Can a tree inventory be integrated with other commercial tree care services?
    Yes. An inventory serves as the foundation for a complete commercial tree care program, guiding services like residential tree pruning services, disease and insect control, root aerification, and lightning protection. It ensures all maintenance decisions are based on accurate, up-to-date information.


  • How does a tree inventory help with risk management?
    A detailed inventory identifies hazardous or declining trees before they pose safety threats to people, buildings, or infrastructure. By working with an ISA Certified Arborist, property owners can take proactive steps—such as pruning, cabling, or removal—to mitigate risks and protect the property’s long-term value. This is especially important for commercial spaces with high pedestrian or vehicle traffic.


  • How does technology improve the accuracy of a commercial tree inventory?
    Modern inventories use GPS mapping, digital tagging, and photographic documentation to ensure precise location tracking and condition reporting. This allows property managers to quickly reference individual trees for professional tree trimming, pruning, or removal. Digital records also make it easier to share information with contractors, insurance providers, and municipal authorities.


  • How often should a commercial tree inventory be updated?
    A tree inventory should be updated every 3–5 years, or sooner if the property undergoes significant changes such as new construction or major landscaping projects. Regular updates ensure that professional tree trimming schedules, plant health care programs, and hazard mitigation plans remain accurate and effective.


  • Is a tree inventory required for commercial properties?
    Some municipalities require a tree inventory before issuing development or renovation permits, particularly for projects affecting significant or heritage trees. Even when not legally required, an inventory created by an ISA Certified Arborist is highly recommended to meet internal safety standards and environmental goals. It also supports compliance with local tree preservation ordinances.


  • What information is included in a commercial tree inventory?
    An inventory records each tree’s species, diameter, canopy spread, health status, structural condition, and exact GPS location. The report may also include recommendations for immediate care, such as removal, root pruning, fertilization, or professional tree trimming. This data allows property owners to prioritize tree care investments efficiently.


  • What is a commercial tree inventory, and why is it important?

    A commercial tree inventory is a detailed catalog of every tree on a property, including its species, size, location, health condition, and maintenance needs. Conducted by an ISA Certified Arborist, this process gives property managers and business owners a clear understanding of the current state of their urban forest. This information is essential for planning professional tree trimming, hazard mitigation, and long-term maintenance strategies.

  • Who should get a commercial tree inventory?
    Property managers, HOAs, municipalities, business parks, and campuses benefit greatly from a professional tree inventory. It helps ensure trees are cared for systematically, reducing liability risks while preserving property aesthetics. Even properties that also require residential tree pruning services can integrate their inventories for a complete, consistent management plan.
