What is Tree Risk Assessment Qualification?

Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) is a program offered by the International Society of Arboriculture to teach tree care providers the techniques to ensure the safety of people and property. The two-day course provides standardized processes for assessing the risk of a tree. TRAQ credential holders must undergo a re-qualification every five years to maintain their qualifications and stay up-to-date on developments in arboriculture techniques.

At Top Notch Tree, our arborist on staff holds the proper TRAQ credentials, ensuring we consistently adhere to industry best practices.

They have all their own equipment to do the entire job: crane, cutting, chipping, stumping and log removal. Completed the job in a day and 1/2. The crew members were very personable.

Absolutely! As a reputable and professional tree service company, we are always fully insured. This includes liability insurance, which covers any damage that may occur to your property during our work, as well as workers’ compensation insurance, which covers any injuries sustained by our team while on the job.

The type and scope of tree work will dictate how long the job takes. For example, pruning many large trees on your property may require multiple days, while a simple tree removal can usually be completed in less than one day. We’ll give you an estimated timeline for any work included in a proposal.

Typically, it’s not necessary to obtain a permit to remove a tree in Plymouth County. However, if the tree is located near wetlands, you will need to contact the conservation department at your local town hall to gain permission to remove the tree. But don’t worry, we'll guide you every step of the way in determining if the tree is located near wetlands and with obtaining permission.
