ArborNote review
A broad tree-care system for teams that need mapping and field coordination.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ArborNote is business management software for professional tree care, landscaping, municipal, HOA, and large residential operations. It brings together GPS tree mapping and inventories, CRM, estimates, branded proposals, appointment scheduling, crew and work-order scheduling, equipment resources, invoicing, payments, time tracking, and reporting. Office teams can manage projects through web tools, while field teams can use iOS and Android apps to map trees, access work orders, record progress, and collect job information. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Its strongest fit is for arborists that need more than basic scheduling. Essential includes CRM, GPS mapping and inventories, branded proposals, appointment and work-order scheduling, job costing, and credit-card and ACH payments. Enterprise adds HubSpot and Zapier integrations, an open API, a customer portal, sales dashboards, and multi-year maintenance plans. ArborNote Works focuses on crew operations with a work-order app, completion tracking, and enhanced time tracking. The Landscape plan adds map-based proposals with site photos, unlimited GPS mapping, custom parts lists, and automatic area measurement.
The integration options support established office workflows: ArborNote connects with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, HubSpot CRM, Zapier, and an open API. Its combination of mapping, customer history, payments, work orders, and equipment scheduling gives larger or field-heavy operations a wide operating scope. Smaller companies seeking only estimates or simple appointments may find that breadth unnecessary, while teams that need tree inventories, coordinated crews, and mobile field access should find the product more aligned with their workflow. The published plans also show a paid product with capabilities distributed across tiers and add-ons.
