Overview

Since TreeKeeper manages an archival history and records of work performed based on site location and not by tree, we’ve outlined a recommended life cycle of a site.

This recommended life cycle will allow you to keep track of previous changes to each site as well as what maintenance may need performed next. The recommended life cycle is as follows:can be seen below.

  3. Once the tree is removed, mark the removal work record as completed and update the species at the site level to “stump”“Stump”. A stump removal Stump Removal work record is then created and scheduled.

  4. Once the stump is removed, mark the stump removal Stump Removal work record as completed and update the species at the site level to “vacant site”“Vacant Site”. A planting work record is then created if a new tree will be planted.
