Plant Health Care Software
Diagnose from a photo, standard cited. Quote the year. Invoice the visit — tax figured for your state and your town. Keep the application records the law requires. One chart per tree, for life. Built by a working arborist who runs an entire book on it.
The whole job
You walk the property. What you see goes on the chart — the yellowing crown, the photo, the diagnosis with its standard cited. The client asks what a whole year would look like. The plan assembles out of your visit — your calls, your prices, grouped by season so it reads like four decisions instead of one number. You review it, you send it.
The work gets done; the application record keeps itself. The invoice goes out with the tax already figured. The client reads all of it in their portal. You made every call. The app did the paperwork.
Set it up once — your tax rules, your reporting requirements — and every quote, invoice, and application record comes out right for where you work.
The differential
ArbKeep's AI is scoped to one property and one chart: the soil chemistry, the pathology, every prior visit, every photo that tree already owns. It reasons from the tree's actual record — not a generic model — and drafts a diagnosis and treatment plan. Then it hands it to you. You confirm before anything reaches the client.
"Why is this pin oak yellowing between the veins — worse every year?"
The same case, on paper. The lab read and the field diagnosis drop straight onto the chart:
The lab network
University extension labs and plant-pathology clinics are open to any working arborist — Penn State soil fertility, Ohio State plant pathology, your state's land-grant clinic. About $20 a sample, no conflict of interest. Results land in ArbKeep normalized onto the tree's chart, beside the field notes, the photos, the treatment plan. The AI reads it all before you walk up to the tree.
Every finding, every lab result, every photo, every treatment — one thread that follows the property, not the person. It's a record the arborist can stand on, the homeowner can finally see, and the next owner inherits along with the parcel. That's the health-record software layer underneath everything — the part no PHC tool before ArbKeep ever built.
Read where this fits the industry's own shift toward Diagnostic PHC, see what the homeowner side looks like, or read why plant health care was always the real job.
Going independent
You know the work — injections, soil, sprays. What you don't have is a back office, a senior arborist to check the call, or paperwork that reads like a firm.
That's the app. The diagnosis cited to the standard. The quote and the invoice drafted. The record kept. Three properties free — the size of a side gig. It grows when you do.
Founding cohort
Working arborists who run it in the field while we harden it. Free for your first 90 days, then $39 a month, locked as your founder rate — no card now, no contract ever, and we never touch your money. We onboard a few at a time, deliberately.
Questions
Plant health care software keeps the clinical side of tree care: soil chemistry, tissue and pathology results, pest and disease diagnoses, treatments, and the application records the law requires. Most tree care software runs the office — leads, crews, estimates. PHC software runs the medicine. You'll also hear the category called arbor care software or tree health software; same discipline. ArbKeep is the clinical record itself — one chart per tree, for its entire life, with an AI that has read the tree's history before it says a word.
A CRM starts from the sale and works backward. ArbKeep starts from the tree's chart, and the business paperwork falls out of the visit — the diagnosis with its standard cited, the year's plan, the invoice with tax figured for your state and town, the application record. You still run the whole practice on it; it just begins with the medicine instead of the pipeline.
No. The AI reads the tree's own record — the soil panel, prior visits, photos — and drafts a differential with its reasoning shown. The arborist confirms before anything reaches the client. A second opinion, not a verdict.
Yes. Every property gets a homeowner portal: the trees, the findings, the photos, the plan — in plain language. Client-visible by default, because a record the homeowner can read is half the value.
Three properties are free — the size of a side gig. The founding cohort runs free for 90 days, then $39 a month, locked as your founder rate. No card to start, no contract, and we never touch your money.
