How to use Canopy

From first note
to final report.

Canopy keeps the practical rhythm of arboriculture intact: observe, record, map, explain.

01

Start with the site

Create a project, add the site context and brief, then keep the inspection workflow together from the start.

02

Plot every tree

Use the map to place trees, record species and condition, add photos and notes, and see the site as it changes beneath your feet.

03

Open, mark up and explain

Open the tree record, photograph the feature or work area, mark up pruning recommendations on the photo, and add a caption before carrying the reasoning into a clear report.

Build the report

When the fieldwork is complete, open the project report tools to review the tree schedule, photographs, recommendations, priorities and inspection history before generating the PDF.

Export the map with key

Create a fitted map showing every plotted tree and visible drawing, with the north indicator and a key listing each tree's common and botanical name. AIA projects can include the approximate encroachment percentage where shapes are present.

Preview, save and share

Use the in-app preview to check the report or map before saving it locally, opening it in Drive, or sharing the finished output with a client. The same project remains available for future inspections.
