ISA Certified Arborist · Central Florida
Tree Inventories for Permitting, Development & Property Management
Local Environmental Services provides ISA Certified Arborist-led tree inventories throughout Central Florida. Each inventory can document tree number, species, DBH, condition, observations, recommended disposition, and preservation considerations, with structured schedules and professional reporting for development, permitting, HOAs, municipalities, commercial properties, and large landholdings.

Who This Service Is For
Tree Data the Whole Project Team Can Rely On
Developers & land planners
Tree data for entitlement, permitting, and site-plan review on parcels headed into development.
Civil contractors & builders
Pre-clearing inventories and tree-protection coordination that keep grading and construction on schedule.
HOAs & property managers
Community-wide tree records for risk, budgeting, replacement planning, and board reporting.
Municipalities & institutions
Right-of-way, park, campus, and public-property inventories with defensible arborist documentation.
Commercial portfolios
Standardized inventories across multiple sites for capital planning and liability management.
Large landholdings
Acreage inventories for conservation, thinning, hazard assessment, and land-use planning.
What Is Included
Documented Field by Field
Every inventory is built on consistent, defensible field data collected by an ISA Certified Arborist — not estimated from an aerial or a walk-through.
- Field-assigned tree identification numbers
- Species identification
- Diameter at breast height (DBH)
- Condition assessment
- Visible defect observations
- Preservation or removal recommendations
- Structured tree inventory spreadsheet
- Photo documentation

Tree Inventory Deliverables
What You Receive
Tree inventory schedule
A structured spreadsheet keyed to field tags — number, species, DBH, condition, observations, and recommended disposition.
Arborist report
A written summary of methodology, findings, and preservation considerations under an ISA Certified Arborist.
Photo documentation
Representative and exception photos tied to tree numbers for review and record-keeping.
Tree map coordination
Inventory data plotted onto a client-provided survey, development plan, GIS file, or approved base map.
Tree-protection recommendations
Optional protection zones and barricade guidance for trees to be preserved through construction.
Mitigation documentation
Optional documentation to support tree-replacement or mitigation discussions with the reviewing authority.
Tree Mapping & Base-Plan Coordination
Inventory Data, Placed on Your Plan
Tree inventory information and arborist mapping can be coordinated with a client-provided boundary survey, topographic survey, GIS file, development plan, aerial image, or approved base map, so the data drops cleanly into the plan set your team is already working from.
A professional note: LES performs the arborist field inventory, identification, measurement, condition assessment, and tree documentation. When legal boundaries, topographic information, or precise surveyed tree coordinates are required, LES coordinates its information with a client-provided survey or a Florida-licensed professional surveyor and mapper. LES does not perform legal boundary or licensed land surveying.
Development & Permitting Applications
Clear the Tree Requirement Early
Tree inventories are often a gating item for entitlement, clearing permits, and site-plan approval. A defensible arborist inventory up front keeps review moving and reduces the risk of comments, resubmittals, and mid-construction surprises tied to protected or specimen trees.
Commercial, HOA, Municipal & Portfolio Inventories
Standardized Across Every Site
For property managers, associations, municipalities, and multi-site owners, a consistent inventory format supports risk management, capital and replacement planning, and board or agency reporting — with records that stay comparable from one property to the next.
Tree Protection & Construction Coordination
Protect the Trees You Keep
An inventory is only worth as much as the trees that survive construction. LES provides tree-protection recommendations, protection-zone and barricade guidance, and field coordination to help preserve retained trees through clearing, grading, and active construction.
Because LES also installs and inspects erosion and sediment controls on active sites, tree protection can be coordinated with the same field team already documenting the project — one point of accountability instead of three vendors.
How the Process Works
From Site Address to Delivered Inventory
- 01
Scope
You send the site address, parcel size or tree count, deadline, and any survey or plan. We confirm scope and pricing.
- 02
Field inventory
An ISA Certified Arborist tags and records each tree — species, DBH, condition, defects, and disposition — with photo documentation.
- 03
Documentation
Field data is compiled into a structured schedule and arborist report, and coordinated onto your survey or base plan.
- 04
Delivery & support
You receive the inventory package and, if needed, tree-protection and mitigation support through permitting and construction.

Tree Inventory FAQ
What does a tree inventory include?
A LES tree inventory can document field-assigned tree numbers, species, diameter at breast height (DBH), condition, visible defects, and recommended disposition, delivered as a structured spreadsheet with an arborist report and photo documentation. Mapping can be coordinated onto a client-provided survey or approved base plan.
Does LES provide the boundary survey?
LES performs the arborist field inventory, identification, measurement, condition assessment, and tree documentation. When legal boundaries, topographic information, or precise surveyed tree coordinates are required, LES coordinates its information with a client-provided survey or a Florida-licensed professional surveyor and mapper.
Can the inventory be used for permitting and site-plan review?
Yes. Inventories are structured to support development, permitting, and site-plan review. Specific submittal requirements vary by jurisdiction, so LES coordinates the inventory format and content with the applicable review process and your project team.
How is DBH measured and what counts as a tree?
DBH (diameter at breast height) is measured at approximately 4.5 feet above grade following standard arboricultural practice. Size thresholds and protected-species definitions vary by jurisdiction, so the inventory scope is confirmed against the applicable local tree ordinance before fieldwork.
Do you inventory large sites and multiple properties?
Yes. LES handles single parcels, large acreage, and multi-site commercial or HOA portfolios, using a consistent methodology and schedule format so records stay comparable across properties.
Can LES also handle tree protection during construction?
Yes. Beyond the inventory, LES provides tree-protection recommendations, protection-zone and barricade guidance, and field coordination to help preserve retained trees through clearing, grading, and construction.
Get Tree Inventory Pricing
Send the site address, parcel size or approximate tree count, your deadline, and a survey or site plan if you have one. LES will review it and return scope and pricing, typically within one business day.
