The utility typically owns its span and equipment. The homeowner is usually responsible for trees on the lot that are not in the utility’s maintained corridor. Confirm before cutting.
Do not guess with a pole saw
If wood is in the wires, stay away. Downed lines are a utility and emergency-services issue first.
Sorting the split of work
We remove trees on the property side once the electrical hazard is controlled. We do not freelance on primary distribution.
What to have ready
Account numbers, photos from a safe distance, and a clear description of whether the line is a house drop or a street span.
After clearance
Sectional removal keeps remaining wood off the conductor. Stump work waits until buried paths are marked.
