ArborSmart

What ArborSmart is

ArborSmart is business management software for tree care companies, covering work from leads and estimates through crew scheduling, fleet, jobs, invoices, and a customer portal. Its estimate builder creates branded PDF estimates with service category templates, line items, job sketches, and digital customer signatures. Approved estimates can become jobs. The schedule provides day, week, and month views with crew swim lanes and drag-and-drop job scheduling.

Field crews can track time by geofence, add job photos, complete inspections, and collect customer sign-offs. These field tasks can be used offline and sync automatically when coverage returns. Fleet management includes vehicle and fuel logs, maintenance reminders, driver hours, and digital vehicle inspection reports. Customers can use the portal to view jobs, appointments, invoices, and payment history. Businesses can record cash, check, card, or bank transfer payments, including partial payments.

ArborSmart is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The Solo plan costs $60 a month for one crew, while Growing costs $250 a month for two to five crews. Both list unlimited customers, jobs, and users, and include the whole platform. The Established plan serves six or more crews and is custom priced. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is offered. Every plan includes support from the people who built ArborSmart, and onboarding is typically one week for a one-to-three crew operation.

Limits

There is no free plan; the listed trial lasts 14 days. Solo is for one crew and costs $60 a month, while Growing is for two to five crews and costs $250 a month. Established is for six or more crews and is custom priced.
