Fallen trees are responsible for nearly 70 percent of the time our customers spend without power. That’s why we’re stepping up efforts to trim overgrown trees to keep you safe, and the energy grid reliable. With tree trimming, customers experience 60 percent fewer outages.

Notification

We are committed to communicating with you each step of the way through the tree trimming process.

Here's what to expect:

  1. Before we begin trimming, we will send you a letter letting you know we will be in the area.
  2. Shortly after, planners will assess your neighborhood and create a trimming plan.
  3. If trimming is needed on your property, we will knock on your door and leave a door hanger describing the necessary trimming. Your planner will leave his or her contact information to answer any questions you may have regarding the work planned for your property.
  4. If a tree poses a serious hazard to the power lines, and/or if trimming will damage the tree's health, it may need to be removed. These trees will be marked with two white dots. In this instance, our planners will make every effort to contact you to discuss the removal. After your tree removal permit is signed, planners will mark the tree with a white "X" indicating it is ready for removal.
  5. Due to many varying factors, tree trimming schedules are sometimes changed or delayed. In this event, we will do our best to inform you of those changes

Trimming & Debris

Our Tree Trimming program follows industry standards, and provides a balanced solution between reliable power and healthy trees. We work with several professional tree trimming companies, who are trained on safe and environmentally responsible tree care, to complete the tree trimming.

Details on how trees on your property will be trimmed will be provided in the door hanger left at your home.

Small debris, such as leaves and small limbs, will be cleaned and removed. Larger pieces of wood will be cut to firewood length and piled neatly on the property. If you do not want wood left on your property, please call the number left on your door hanger. Debris removal policies differ in the aftermath of a storm.
