A TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification) report is a standardized risk assessment methodology developed by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). It evaluates the likelihood of tree failure and the potential consequences, producing a documented risk rating used by property owners, HOAs, municipalities, and attorneys. Our arborist holds ISA TRAQ certification.

When is it worth commissioning one? Before buying a property with large trees, after visible damage to a major tree, when an HOA or city asks for evidence, or when a tree worries you enough to lose sleep. The rating gives you a defensible basis for action – keep, treat, or remove.

Yes – fully licensed, insured, and bonded. Precision Tree Care holds California Contractors License #907593, carries full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member, and our assessments are backed by an ISA Certified Arborist (#WE-12520A) with TRAQ qualification.

Why this matters in California: tree work is one of the most dangerous trades, and hiring an unlicensed crew exposes the property owner – if an uninsured worker is injured on your property, the claim can land on your homeowners policy. Ask any bidder for their license number and certificates of insurance; a legitimate company produces them without hesitation.
