The report is the product. Writing it shouldn't take longer than the survey.
A consulting arborist's deliverable is a document a municipality, developer, or homeowner can act on. But most arborist report software still assumes you'll collect data in forms and assemble the document afterward. The result:
Report writing eats your evenings
A consulting arborist report takes 1-2 hours to write up after every site visit. Several sites a week and you've lost a full day to typing.
Field notes don't survive the field
Handwritten notes get lost, rained on, or turn illegible by the time you're back at the desk. The tree data you collected walking the site is the report; losing it means a second visit.
Ordinances and registers, cross-referenced by hand
Heritage tree registers, municipal tree ordinances, protected species lists. Every report means looking the same rules up again and citing them correctly.
TPZ math and Latin binomials
Tree Protection Zone calculations for every tree, and scientific names matched to common names for every species. Repetitive, and easy to slip on.
How voice-first report generation works
- 1
Walk the property and record
Describe each tree naturally: species, diameter, height, condition, and observations. No forms, no clipboard, no stopping at every tree to tap a screen.
- 2
The AI structures the survey and drafts the report
Species get matched to scientific names, TPZs are calculated, heritage trees are flagged against local registers, and the ordinance references for your municipality are included.
- 3
Review, edit, send
The report arrives as a DOCX on your letterhead. Make final edits in Word and send it to the client or council. Full municipal submissions run up to 40 pages.
