Working with greehill
Everything you need to understand about project setup, data delivery, and how greehill Trees supports long-term urban tree operations.
General overview
greehill provides operational technology for managing urban trees at city scale. Using street-level LiDAR and AI-supported processing, we deliver timely, objective tree data through a cloud-based system built for municipal operations.
greehill Trees is built for cities that manage trees as infrastructure.
It supports:
- Urban forestry teams and arborists responsible for day-to-day operations
- Commissioners and city leaders who approve budgets and require measurable outcomes
A Smart Tree Inventory is a verified, citywide inventory created through standardized 3D capture and AI-supported analysis.
It provides consistent, comparable data across re-scans, enabling cities to monitor change and guide operational priorities over time.
Traditional inventories are field-based and depend on manual collection cycles.
greehill combines repeatable 3D capture with AI-supported processing to create consistent, objective data at city scale.
The result is not only an inventory, but a system that supports ongoing operations.
System & operations
Data capture follows standardized protocols across streets and parks using mobile street-level LiDAR systems. The process is designed for repeatability, so cities can measure change consistently across time.
No. Scanning and Smart Tree Inventory production are delivered end-to-end by greehill under one operational standard. Regional partners support local coordination and implementation.
Cities typically re-scan on a two-year cycle, with flexibility for priority areas requiring closer monitoring.
Cities receive:
- A verified citywide inventory with standardized attributes
- Street-level 3D representations of trees with imagery
- Operational metrics for condition, risk, clearances, and climate impact
- Prioritized worklists aligned with measured need
Yes. The system supports prioritization, contractor-ready worklists, and repeat capture cycles that keep operations aligned with current conditions.
Metrics & coverage
Metrics include:
- Tree condition and vitality
- Structural risk indicators
- Climate and ecosystem metrics
- Street-level clearances and corridor analysis
Yes. Metrics are calculated using consistent parameters across capture cycles, enabling cities to measure change objectively rather than relying on subjective field ratings.
Data & governance
greehill Trees delivers secure, auditable data aligned with public-sector governance standards.
Outputs are structured for internal reporting, procurement documentation, and public accountability.
No. greehill manages capture and processing. Cities access the system through greehill Trees and receive standardized outputs.
Yes. Cities may operate within greehill Trees or integrate outputs into existing systems and contractor workflows.
Procurement & project setup
Projects begin with scope alignment: area, timelines, stakeholders, and existing data if available. greehill delivers a verified citywide inventory and operational metrics under one consistent standard.
Timelines depend on city size and local conditions. Projects are structured to deliver citywide capture efficiently and enable structured re-scans thereafter.
Operational metrics provide quantified need, helping cities prioritize actions, structure funding requests, and document progress over time.
