Keeping lines clear for safe, reliable power

Trees add beauty to our communities, but when branches grow too close to overhead lines, they can cause power outages and safety hazards. We conduct routine tree trimming on a planned cycle to keep electricity flowing safely and reliably.

• Professional Pruning: Trimming is completed by experienced professionals supervised by certified arborists. Crews use techniques such as “V” or “L” cuts to ensure proper line clearance while protecting tree health.
• Debris Cleanup: Smaller branches and limbs are chipped and hauled away. To help keep operating costs down, larger branches are cut into manageable lengths and left for the property owner’s use or disposal.
• Storm Restoration: If severe weather causes trees to fall on power lines, crews clear vegetation to restore power quickly. In these storm situations, removing remaining tree debris on private property is the homeowner’s responsibility.
• Right Tree, Right Place: Plan ahead when landscaping. Always consider a tree’s mature height and plant low-growing varieties near utility lines to avoid future interference.
