We’re proud to announce that in 2023 Teacher’s Tree Service earned accreditation by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), the national trade organization for arboriculture. This means that as a business we voluntarily meet stringent criteria for professionalism, employee training, state and federal safety regulations, business ethics, and customer satisfaction. We’re one of five TCIA-accredited companies in Vermont, and one of just two that are also locally owned and operated.
Why work with Teacher’s Tree Service over a non-accredited service?
TCIA accreditation is a third-party consumer confidence verification program that identifies qualified tree care companies who conduct business in a safe, legal, and ethical manner. When you hire Teacher’s Tree Service, you can rest assured that TCIA has checked for proper insurance, business and pesticide licenses, and customer service that is reliable and ethical. As an active member of TCIA, we also keep up-to-date with the best arboriculture science and practices through TCIA publications, webinars and conferences. We’re continuing to deliver the same excellent, personal service to our clients that we’ve been known for over the past 20 years, now with TCIA’s ‘seal of approval’.
Greg Ranallo
From the classroom to the trees
Greg Ranallo has been working with trees since he was 19 years old — a passion that began long before it became a profession. After earning a master's degree in education and teaching high school social studies in his native Minnesota, Greg ultimately followed the calling he'd had since boyhood and built Teacher's Tree Service into one of the Champlain Valley's most trusted arboriculture companies. As he puts it, "I was always more a tree guy who was teaching than a teacher who did tree work."
