Our team
The people building Tree Intelligence
Treeable was built by operators who discovered the problem and scientists who knew how to solve it — where 20+ years of real-world arboriculture meets frontier AI from NASA, RAND, NGA, and Roblox.
Why we exist
Michael Orme founded Peachtree Arborists in 2012 — an award-winning emergency services firm that led first-responders across 16+ federally declared disasters. Fourteen years in the field validated the workflows, economics, and data that became Treeable in 2024: the living intelligence layer for the world's trees, one individual tree at a time.
Every tree counts
We build a system of record at the level of the individual tree — no aggregates, no guesswork.
Science in the loop
Peer-reviewed methods and transparent models sit behind every number we ship.
Built to act
Intelligence only matters if it drives real decisions in the physical world.
