Working high above the ground may not strike fear in the climbers tasked to do the work, but it certainly will an insurance carrier underwriter. Like all businesses, not all companies in the tree trimming industry are equal. Those that have committed to best practices in worker and product safety should be treated as such.

At Kingsgate, we’ve been serving those in the tree trimming arena since 2007. With that experience comes a platform focused on the critical areas of the operation that helps insurers know they are getting a “best in class” operation.
