CAD Compliant Tree Surveys
& Urban Forest Management Systems
A tree survey is a vital assessment conducted on both private and public landscapes, providing essential information for informed decision-making by property managers or homeowners. Following the guidelines of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), a qualified professional such as an ISA Certified Arborist, Board Certified Master Arborist, or an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist (RCA) determines which the vital facts about trees in a designated area, helping to aid in the decision-making processes.
The collected data serves various purposes, such as assisting landscape designers in creating realistic computer designs that incorporate accurate information from the survey. For example, retaining certain trees can enhance property value, and trees protected by law can be integrated into the landscape design seamlessly.
In essence, a comprehensive tree survey provides a thorough understanding of the land, enabling sound decision-making in the best interest of all parties involved, including relevant authorities. It is imperative that actual work on the land commences only after a thorough tree survey, conducted by qualified professionals.
