ValleyCrest Earns TCIA Accreditation

ValleyCrest Tree Care Services has earned accreditation by the Tree Care Industry Association, an honor achieved by only ten percent of the association's member companies.

ValleyCrest Tree Care Services, a national commercial and residential tree care company, has been accredited under the Tree Care Company Accreditation program administered by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA).

TCIA Accreditation means ValleyCrest Tree Care Services adheres to all the accreditation standards and has undergone a rigorous application process. TCIA verified this by conducting an on-site audit of ValleyCrest Tree Care Services facilities and work sites.

Accreditation is in effect for a period of three years, with renewal check-ups required every year. The annual renewal ensures that the company continues to employ trained professionals, is still properly insured and has a good safety and consumer satisfaction rating. The company is re-accredited every three years.

''TCIA Accreditation provides consumers a way to find tree care companies that are trustworthy in their business and tree care practices,'' TCIA president Mark Garvin said.

The process of becoming accredited is no easy task. According to Vic Bernardini, General Manager of ValleyCrest Tree Care Services, ''The process is incredibly thorough. They left no stone unturned. Receiving formal recognition as one of the best tree care companies around from TCIA strengthens our credentials and enhances our ability to deliver the best value and unmatched service to our customers every day.''

Bernardini added, ''ValleyCrest has performed tree care services throughout the company's more than 62 year history, but over the last six years, the Tree Care Division has nearly tripled in size from seven locations to more than 20 nationally.''
