Tree & Plant Inventory

A detailed tree and plant inventory is the cornerstone of thoughtful landscape planning, preservation, and management. At P.C. Hoag & Co., our consulting arborists perform site-specific evaluations that record key biological and structural attributes of trees and shrubs across your property. Each plant is tagged with a unique identifier and mapped in relation to buildings, hardscapes, and natural features to create a complete and functional record.

These inventories are more than lists—they’re practical tools for prioritizing care, planning development, or implementing vegetation preservation strategies. Our data collection includes species, size, location, and health metrics, all of which inform custom treatment recommendations in compliance with ANSI A300 industry standards and ANSI Z60 Nursery Standards.

What’s Included in a Tree & Plant Inventory?

• Species Identification – Common and scientific names for all trees and major shrubs on site.
• Size Measurements – Includes DBH (diameter at breast height), height, and canopy spread.
• Health & Condition Ratings – Evaluates structural integrity and biological vitality.
• Location Mapping – Position data tied to GPS, site plans, or architectural drawings.
• Treatment & Removal Recommendations – Evidence-based plans for preserving high-value plants or identifying candidates for removal.
• Cost Estimates – Budget-aligned projections for tree work or health care treatments.

Integrated Preservation Planning

Many clients combine inventories with our Tree, Shrub & Vegetation Marking for Preservation service to help guide site layout and construction efforts. By identifying and tagging high-value trees before development begins, we help you protect the natural assets that can elevate your final landscape design.

Who Benefits from an Inventory?

• Property owners managing estates, farms, or wooded lots
• Landscape architects and construction firms planning around existing vegetation
• Municipalities, campuses, and HOAs maintaining tree assets
• Legal, insurance, and risk management teams needing documentation
• Conservation-minded clients seeking sustainable land use
