All-in-one arborist software
The tree care CRM built for solo arborists — AI field intelligence, property records, a client portal, and a professional website, all from your shirt pocket. You're already taking the photos. Now they work for you.
From field to finished
Tap Generate Report. Your field notes, photos, and findings become a print-ready PDF or Word document. Your name, your credentials, your logo. No formatting. No busywork.
Your report matches your credentials. Earn a cert — your documents upgrade automatically.
What's included
Phone-first. Learn it in one job. Every photo, note, and recommendation indexed by property — the record builds itself.
Level 1 and Level 2 ISA assessments with cardinal compass photos, voice notes, species autocomplete, and risk profiling. Organized by property, not by job.
Assessments in plain language, photo grids, quotes with one-tap approval, before-and-after pairs, payment tracking. Your client sees the story. You never retype a thing.
A credentialed, ISA-formatted public site generated from your profile — live at yourname.arbassist.com. No design skills. No maintenance. Just fill in your settings.
One-click reports from any completed assessment — PDF or Word. See how it works ↑
Data follows the address, not the person. Property sells? The tree history stays — ready for the next owner, the next arborist, or the next insurer who asks.
Field Intelligence
Describe what you see. The AI connects the dots — species interactions, regional disease patterns, seasonal timing — backed by ISA standards, USDA data, and university extension research.

Shirt-Pocket Notes
A working arborist who codes between visits. Peer-reviewed publication background (Ohio State, PLOS ONE), Ohio Chapter ISA member, and a Silverado that doubles as the office. What I'm building, what I'm seeing, what I'm learning.
An educational dog-walk video, a sweetgum full of nymphs, and a call from a Guardian reporter. The longer conversation about urban canopy and the gap in arborist tooling for tracking pest pressure.
University soil diagnostics for $20 a sample. Disease testing by photo. The first electronic health record for trees — from your shirt pocket.
Same property record, on every screen. Nothing to sync. Nothing to install.
Recurring revenue
A ready-to-offer annual care program, built into ArbAssist from day one. Enroll any client. They get their own login through ArbKeep — full property history, photos, care notes, and a steward badge that tracks how long they've been in the program. The relationship deepens every visit.
Set your own pricing. Keep every dollar. No revenue share.
Every steward property is another parcel well-managed. Another piece of the forest remembered.

ArbAssist is built by David All. Before tree work he co-authored a peer-reviewed study on recovery deserts with Ohio State University (PLOS ONE, 2021), wrote speeches read on the U.S. Senate floor, led outdoor education programs for kids at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center in Pennsylvania, and ran a $4.6M agency where attention to detail was the product.
He came to arboriculture through heritage apple orchards in Pennsylvania and old-growth conifers on the Olympic Peninsula, where he learned a tree is a patient, not a project. Today he cares for trees in Upper Arlington, Ohio with hand tools from his grandfather's collection, studies for his ISA Certified Arborist exam, and builds the tools he wished existed in the field — ArbAssist for arborists, and CanopyKeep for anyone with a phone and a question about a tree. Both come from the same place all his work does — show up, pay attention, document everything. Featured in The Guardian on the spotted lanternfly invasion (May 2026).
