About Us
ATM Inc, an INC 500 company, is one of the fastest-growing environmental firms in the nation. We are proud to combine scientific expertise, arboricultural excellence, and community-focused solutions to protect and enhance tree health, property safety, and environmental sustainability.

This unique foundation allows us to deliver not only technical precision but also funding strategies and public benefit solutions that strengthen communities and ecosystems.
About
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet transformative:
To promote sustainable, evidence-based practices in utility, public, and private tree services and vegetation management.
We believe trees are more than just part of the landscape — they are essential to community health, safety, and resilience. Every project we undertake is guided by data-driven science, professional standards, and a commitment to long-term sustainability.
Our
Story
Founded in 2015 during California’s historic drought, ATM Inc was created to address a crisis: the rapid decline of heritage trees and the growing risk of wildfire, tree mortality, and urban canopy loss. From our earliest projects, we have partnered with public agencies, non-profits, and private landowners to safeguard landscapes, adapt to climate change, and preserve natural heritage for future generations.
About Me.
What We Do
ATM Inc provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the diverse needs of public agencies, non-profits, and private landowners. Our capabilities include:
Hazard Tree Assessment & Mitigation
We work with counties and agencies to identify, assess, and manage hazard trees that threaten infrastructure, homes, and public safety, particularly in wildfire-prone or high-mortality areas.
Tree Inventory & Appraisal
Our team helps municipalities, agencies, and landowners inventory and appraise trees, creating customized management plans that ensure long-term health and value.
Urban & Wildland Forest Planning
We support cities and communities in developing sustainable forestry strategies that balance environmental stewardship with property safety and public use.

We help private landowners understand the true value of their trees—how they enhance property value, reduce energy costs, and improve air quality—while guiding them in proper care, replacement, and maintenance.
