POWER LINE CLEARANCE

Trees that will grow taller than 25 feet at maturity need to be planted well away from power lines. When trees are planted too close to power lines they become a deadly hazard. Trees that make contact with power lines can cause catastrophic fires, and trees growing into power lines will cause electrical outages affecting both residences and businesses.

Hiring an arborist is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability.
