Municipal Tree Care
Public trees, managed
on the record.
For cities, towns, and counties in Jonesboro and Northeast Arkansas (NEA), Memphis, Little Rock, Bentonville, and surrounding areas: street trees, parks, and public grounds, with an inventory, a plan, and a record of every job.
For cities, towns, and counties
Public trees need a plan, and a paper trail.
Municipal work is available across all the areas we serve. Every job has a written scope, a work order, and before-and-after photos.
Street trees & rights-of-way
Every tree along the street mapped, with its condition and the work it needs.
Parks & public grounds
Trees where people gather, walk, and play, assessed and cared for on a plan.
Public buildings & campuses
City halls, libraries, schools, and fire stations, with clear scopes for every job.
Planting programs
New street and park trees chosen for the site and planted to establish.
Start with an inventory
Know what you have before you budget.
Penn State Extension describes what a community tree inventory can show:
- Where trees need pruning or removal to reduce risk
- How many trees stand in the public right-of-way
- The value of the benefits the trees provide
- How many open planting sites there are
We map and inventory trees in ArborNote, so every tree has its own place on the map and its own record, and every job adds to it.
Risk and records
Decisions you can explain.
The USDA Forest Service’s community guide to urban tree risk management is written for community leaders, city foresters, parks and public works staff, and private tree care professionals alike. Our risk work is led by an arborist who holds the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification.
Working toward Tree City USA? The Arbor Day Foundation’s four standards are a tree board or department, a public tree care ordinance, community tree care spending of at least $2 per resident each year, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. An inventory and a written plan give a tree board a solid place to start.
The same eight services
Everything your grounds might need.
Whoever the client, the care is the same: careful, science-based, and explained in plain English.
How we think through a tree problem
Care built around the tree,
not a sales quota.
We don’t arrive with a work order already in mind. Each visit follows the same careful sequence, so recommendations come from evidence—and sometimes the right answer is to wait and watch.
