Company
Overview
Founded in 2006
Company Origination
Established in 2006, the company began with a vision to integrate field crews, proprietary software, and rugged hardware into a unified vegetation-management force.
Merged in 2025
Strategic Expansion
The company merged with ECI Environmental Consultants in early 2025, expanding its expertise while maintaining vendor neutrality and consultative roots.
- It began as a specialized consultant to utilities and municipalities, building credibility one successful project at a time across North America.
- Leveraging its ARBORLINE platform, the company seamlessly coordinates electronic work planning, GIS mapping, landowner outreach, and quality auditing.
- Its projects typically span utility line clearance, damage assessments, regulatory notifications, and data-center/solar-farm environmental support.
- Known for real-time project dashboards, field-drone integration, and civil support, it frequently brings transportation and infrastructure projects into its portfolio.
- Safety training is built into daily routines—its 'Target Zero' program, hazard reviews, and certifications (OSHA, ISNetworld, Avetta) ensure no-injury goals.
- Unusually, it embeds monitoring tech in field devices—tracking assets and workforce in real time, a capability that some regard as cutting-edge, others as intrusive.
