Tree Trimming

North Western Electric offers a free tree trimming service to its members. If you have a tree near power lines, please phone our office. Do not remove or trim a tree yourself. It is unsafe for anyone other than qualified tree trimmers to work near power lines.

 


Safety and Planting Trees

 

When spring arrives, people start thinking about planting flowers, shrubs, and trees. Please keep safety in mind when planting trees. Avoid planting them near power lines. A good rule of thumb is to plant trees as far away from utility lines as the tree is expected to grow. For example, if you are planting a tree that could grow 75 feet tall, plant the tree at least 75 feet away from power lines.
