At Land Cleaners Tree Service, we understand the critical importance of maintaining safe distances between trees and power lines. Our certified dielectric arborists are trained to handle the complexities of tree removal and trimming near utility infrastructure, safeguarding your property and the community in places like Sandown, Kingston, Brentwood, and Hampstead in New Hampshire.
The safe distance between trees and power lines can vary depending on local regulations, the voltage of the power lines, and the growth potential of the trees. Generally, a minimum clearance of 10 feet is recommended for trees near distribution lines and even more for high-voltage transmission lines. It's crucial to consult with professional arborists like those at Land Cleaners Tree Service for guidance specific to your property and local guidelines.
Responsibility for trimming trees near power lines can differ by locality and specific circumstances. Typically, utility companies are responsible for trimming trees near overhead power lines that run along streets and across the country to ensure public safety and uninterrupted service. However, property owners may be responsible for maintaining trees within or encroaching upon service drops (the lines running from the pole to the house). We recommend contacting your local utility company or a certified service like Land Cleaners Tree Service to understand your obligations better.
The trimming frequency depends on the tree species, growth rate, and proximity to power lines. As a general guideline, trees should be inspected and trimmed every 3 to 5 years. Fast-growing species may require more frequent attention. Regular assessments by certified arborists, such as those from Land Cleaners Tree Service, can help determine the optimal trimming schedule to keep trees safe from power lines.
Our arborists are certified dielectric arborists, having undergone extensive training in safely working near power lines.
