Services / GIS mapping and data collection
Specialist service
Tree data you can use and manage.
A tree inventory is only useful if the data is good and you can do something with it. We capture tree and vegetation data in the field, attribute it tree by tree, and map it as a spatial dataset you can hand to a contractor, load into your asset system, or use to plan a development.
Why it matters
An inventory is only useful if the data is reliable
A list of trees with vague locations and a guess at condition is not an asset. It is a spreadsheet nobody trusts. The value is in the data: accurate positions, consistent attributes, and a condition or risk call made by someone qualified to make it.
Two things set our data apart. It is collected by arborists, so species, condition and risk are right at the point of capture, not filled in later by someone who was not there. And it is handled in-house all the way to the map, so the spatial work and the arboriculture are not split between two firms that never speak. That suits a Council managing a tree-asset register, and a developer mapping a large site before design.
Our GIS and data analysis run in-house, led by our Director and Senior Arborist. The interactive project map on this site, ten years of work plotted across Victoria, is our own GIS, not an outsourced graphic.
How it works
From the field to a dataset you can use
Capture it properly, build it into a real spatial dataset, and hand it over in a form you can keep using. Good data in, usable data out.
On site
Field capture
Tree by tree, located with survey-grade GPS and attributed as we go: species, dimensions, condition, and risk where it is needed. Captured by an arborist, so the call is right the first time rather than corrected later.
Back in the office
Into a spatial dataset
The field data built into a mapped, queryable dataset: tree points, canopy or vegetation extents, and the attributes attached to each, structured to suit the system it has to live in.
At the end
Handover you can use
Data in the formats you actually work in, with a map or audit output on top where you need one. Built to live in your asset system, not to sit unread in a PDF.
Why our work can be relied on
Reliable data collected by arborists
Spatial data is easy to collect badly. The value is in who collected it and whether you can use it.
Data collected by arborists
Species, condition, and risk are recorded by someone qualified at the tree, not backfilled by a survey crew who cannot tell one species from another.
In-house GIS
The spatial work and the arboriculture sit under one roof. The project map on this site is our own work, proof we build the data, not just collect it.
Data you can use
Handover in your formats and your schema, so the inventory lives in your asset system instead of sitting unused in a PDF.
