What
is TCIA Accreditation?
TCIA Accreditation
is a consumer confidence program administered by the Tree Care
Industry Association – America’s oldest and most
respected tree care trade association. The TCIA Accreditation
program is built on the foundation of ethics, quality, and consumer
confidence.
TCIA Accreditation
is also a voluntary process that evaluates entire businesses
to ensure that professional practices and standards are met
by all employees that work on your property. Companies accredited
by TCIA are required to provide documented proof in many areas
that protect consumers. Even tree care sales personnel must
be trained to a level of technical proficiency equivalent to
TCIA’s Tree Care Specialist credential. This training
includes tree biology, pruning standards, transplanting, tree
disease and injury diagnosis, construction injury prevention,
safety, soil science, and disease and pest control.
When you
hire an Accredited tree care company, you can rest assured that
TCIA has checked for proper insurance, applicable business and
pesticide licenses, and customer service that is reliable and
ethical.
