Be sure to check your tree service company’s credentials!

Consumer Beware of:
These companies listed below do not have the right to use the TCIA trademark and are not affiliated in any way with our association.

TCIA accreditation is a “seal of approval” that helps homeowners find tree care companies that have been inspected and accredited based on adherence to industry standards for quality and safety; maintenance of trained, professional staff; and dedication to ethics and quality in business practices.

Credible companies have to work hard to be accredited by TCIA and because of this, less reputable companies may fraudulently claim accreditation.

Contact the Accreditation department at (800) 733-2622 to check for TCIA accreditation.
