Outage FAQ: Should I trim my own trees?

Trimming trees that have grown into or near power lines is extremely dangerous. Safety is our highest priority.

Trimming trees within 10 feet of high voltage power lines is prohibited because of the dangers involved. Residents can, however, maintain other trees on their properties to prevent them from falling into power lines.

We are not responsible for trimming trees or limbs that grow into the low-voltage service lines that enter your home or business. We do advise that you contact a professional tree trimming service to have this work performed.

If you have trees that need to be trimmed and you want to ensure the work is done safely, please request a service drop or cover up. We will ensure the service lines that feed your home or business are dropped or covered while you – or the experts you hire – perform the work.

To schedule a service drop or cover up, log into My Account at my.lge-ku.com. Select the Service Orders tile or click on Additional Service in the navigation bar to make your request.
