A Clear Path

Ideally, a clear right-of-way is free of trees, limbs, and brush within 15 feet on either side of the centerline formed by the utility poles. Creating and maintaining this open path requires a careful, considerate approach. We place a high value on the health and appearance of the trees, and ornamental varieties are never removed without prior permission.

Tree trimming is performed when limbs come within 10 feet of the neutral or phase wires. Throughout the process, we trim with attention to symmetry and the tree’s natural form to preserve both safety and beauty.
