Tree Specialists is one of the first tree care companies in the country to receive accreditation by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). The company participated in an extensive review of professional practices aimed at safeguarding consumers. The review included:

• best practices
• ethical business conduct
• formal training and certification of employees
• compliance with industry standards
• consumer satisfaction
• adherence to safety standards
• insurance coverage

The accreditation means Tree Specialists adheres to all the accreditation standards and has undergone a rigorous application process. The TCIA verified this by conducting an on-site audit of Tree Specialists. The accreditation is in effect for a period of three years, with renewal check-ups required every year. The annual renewal ensures that the required number of certified arborists are still on staff, that the company is still properly insured and that the company has a good safety and consumer satisfaction rating.

“TCIA Accreditation provides consumers a way to find tree care companies that are trustworthy in their business and tree care practices,” said TCIA president Cynthia Mills. “Our TCIA Accreditation program is the only one of its kind in America and will give consumers peace of mind.”
