ntegrity Tree Service, Inc. is committed to providing our customers comprehensive and up-to-date tree care information. From tree selection and maintenance to problem diagnosis and treatment, our aim is good service with good science.

Pruning Standards

At Integrity Tree Service, Inc. we employ tree care practices based on current research-based data. Coupled with our knowledge of each tree's unique attributes, we determine pruning requirements for specific tree varieties.

We are also governed by industry standards. The Tree Care Industry Association and the International Society of Arboriculture have partnered with the American National Standards Institute to develop pruning standards for the tree care industry. As a member company with the TCIA and ISA, Integrity Tree Service, Inc. abides by these standards contained in the publication ANSI A300.

In addition to providing instruction for tree workers, the A300 is also the basis for writing accurate specifications for tree work. Like architectural blueprints, the A300 specifications help outline tree work to be performed.

Our estimates include the pruning types defined by the ANSI A300:

• Crown cleaning
• Crown thinning
• Crown raising
• Crown reduction and
• Crown restoration

We provide these terms and their definitions to our customers, along with minimum branch diameters, to clearly specify work to be done on each tree.

Safety Standards

Integrity Tree Service, Inc. also observes local, state and federal safety regulations. The ANSI Z133 outlines safe work practices for all aspects of tree care. From the use of hard hats and hearing and eye protection to safe work procedures, the Z133 is our starting place for workplace safety.

We also conduct bi-weekly tailgate safety sessions designed to apply these standards to everyday operations. The aim is to insure safety, not just for our employees, but also for our customers and their property.

Integrity Tree Service, Inc. received the highest award for business excellence offered by the Tree Care Industry Association.
