A Plus Tree

In 2002 our late founder Jeremy Tibbets had a vision. He wanted to build an urban forest management company that was the first of its kind. A company of innovation using cutting-edge technology. A Plus identified a gap in the tree care industry and started work on a sophisticated and ground-breaking software app to manage and drive the tree care industry business. ArborPlus was born. ArborPlus provides us the ability to effectively and efficiently manage large tree populations across multiple properties, all accessible through cloud computing. A Plus has a vision for urban forest tree care by staying ahead of trends and setting technology standards that lead the industry. One of our primary missions is maximizing urban recycling with a goal to NEVER put anything back into the ground that we have removed. Urban tree recycling and sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do and we are leading the industry with this charge. A Plus is driven by passionate people and our people stand at the forefront of urban tree care and sustainability. We thrive on setting the benchmark in our industry and inspire a higher standard of tree care using innovative technology while keeping close attention to our client's needs. We are not a vendor, we are partners whom you can trust. We specialize in the ridiculous. We are A PLUS!
