The first parcel-level ecosystem services calculator for property owners. Enter any US address and discover the annual dollar value your trees and green infrastructure provide — backed by USDA, EPA, and peer-reviewed science.
The Pitch
Every year, your trees clean tens of thousands of gallons of stormwater, sequester carbon dioxide at rates worth hundreds per tonne, filter air pollutants, cut your energy bills, and add measurable premium to your home value. But until now, there was no simple way for a property owner to see those numbers.
TerraValue changes that. Built by P&X's founder — an ISA Certified Arborist and Urban Forest Specialist who authored the largest municipal canopy study in Sandy Springs history — TerraValue translates peer-reviewed environmental science into a clear, property-specific dollar value. It connects directly to public parcel data across 8 Georgia cities and 2 counties, calculates 6 distinct ecosystem services, scores your property's ecological stewardship on a 0-to-100 scale, and generates a branded PDF report you can share with buyers, HOA boards, or city planners.
P&X is the only firm positioned to deliver this because TerraValue isn't a generic calculator — it's built on the same institutional knowledge, the same ArcGIS parcel data, and the same USDA/EPA science used by the City of Sandy Springs' Urban Forester every day. No other private consultant has both the municipal-grade data access and the arboricultural credentials to make this tool credible. When you use TerraValue, you're getting the same analytical lens that informs city-level canopy policy — applied to your property.
Who Is This For
Understand the real value your trees provide. Justify preservation to contractors, defend mature canopy during renovations, or document ecosystem services for insurance and tax purposes.
Quantify collective canopy value across common areas. Build the case for tree preservation policies, green infrastructure investments, and community stewardship programs.
Parcel-level ecosystem data for policy development, grant applications, and public outreach. Show elected officials and residents the dollar value of urban canopy investments.
Add a TerraValue report to property listings. Differentiate well-canopied parcels by showing buyers the quantified annual return their trees provide — not just curb appeal, but real dollars.
Generate ecosystem service valuations for your clients in minutes. Attach a professional PDF report to proposals and assessments that speaks the language of dollars, not just DBH.
Understand what you're removing before you break ground. Quantify mitigation value, demonstrate environmental stewardship, and build preservation into site plans with data — not guesswork.
How It Works
Type any US address. TerraValue geocodes it and searches public ArcGIS databases to auto-fill your parcel data — lot size, canopy coverage, assessed value, and jurisdiction.
Confirm or adjust property details. Optionally add tree inventory data (species, size, condition) and green infrastructure features for a more precise calculation.
View a full dashboard: satellite map, Soil Score (0-100), interactive charts, 6 ecosystem service cards with annual dollar values, and dual green infrastructure methodology comparison.
Download a branded PDF report with your property's complete ecosystem valuation. Share it with buyers, HOA boards, city planners, or include it in consulting deliverables.
What We Measure
Every calculation is grounded in published, peer-reviewed research from the USDA Forest Service, EPA, and leading environmental science journals.
Annual CO₂ captured by your canopy, valued at the EPA's social cost of carbon: $255 per metric tonne. Southeast Piedmont rate: 2.6 tonnes CO₂/acre/year.
Rainfall intercepted by canopy before it becomes runoff. Valued at municipal avoided-cost rates: $4.00 per 1,000 gallons at 35% canopy interception.
Pollution removed from the atmosphere — ozone, PM2.5, NO₂, SO₂, CO. Weighted by health impact: $28.50/lb for the Southeast, PM2.5-heavy.
Reduced electricity consumption from canopy shading and windbreak effects. Southeast rate: 1,800 kWh/acre/year at local utility rates.
Ecological value of urban forest habitat for wildlife, pollinators, and native species. Valued at $320 per acre of canopy using willingness-to-pay studies.
Well-canopied properties carry a 7% premium in assessed value. This meta-analysis finding holds across property types and US regions.
Why P&X
TerraValue isn't a generic widget. It's the product of institutional knowledge, public-sector data access, and professional credentials that no other private consultant in Georgia can match.
TerraValue connects to the same public ArcGIS parcel databases used by the City of Sandy Springs' Urban Forester — 8 city servers and 2 county-level systems across Fulton and DeKalb counties. This isn't scraped data; it's the real source of truth.
Every calculation rate, from carbon sequestration to property value premium, comes from published USDA Forest Service, EPA, and journal research — not industry averages or marketing numbers. The methodology page shows every formula and citation.
Our founder authored the most comprehensive canopy analysis in Sandy Springs history — 43,000 acres, $80M+ in ecosystem services documented. TerraValue applies the same analytical framework at the individual property level.
ISA Certified Arborist, Urban Forest Specialist, TRAQ, Credentialing Council member, and award-winning practitioner. When TerraValue generates a Soil Score or a carbon valuation, there's a real expert behind every number — not an algorithm alone.
Data Sources
TerraValue queries public ArcGIS REST services in real time — no stored data, no stale records.
TerraValue is free to use. Enter your address, get your ecosystem valuation, and download a branded PDF report — all in under two minutes.
