About
ArborPlus is a GIS-based tree inventory and management software solution developed by A Plus Tree, designed to give arborists, property managers, and municipalities complete visibility into the health and maintenance needs of their urban forest. Through an online tree portal, clients can access real-time maps, photographs, species identification, size data, infrastructure damage indicators, and a full history of all work performed on every tree under management. First introduced in 2010 as one of the first comprehensive GIS-based tree management tools in the industry — predating widespread mobile technology and modern mapping apps — ArborPlus has continuously evolved. ArborPlus V4 now manages millions of trees and supports a wide range of property types including multifamily apartment complexes, HOA communities, commercial retail properties, municipalities, utilities, and private estates. The platform supports multi-level access, allowing both on-site property managers and regional directors to monitor their portfolios from a single interface. Field arborists use ArborPlus to conduct routine assessments, log observations, assign priority work orders, and generate tailored long-term care plans that protect the health, safety, and beauty of each client's trees. ArborPlus is included complimentarily as part of A Plus Tree's service engagements, making it accessible to clients without additional software costs. It is best suited for property managers, facilities teams, and municipalities looking to move away from paper-based or disconnected tree management processes and toward a centralized, data-driven platform.
