Common questions
Who handles branches on power lines?
Lines from the pole to the house can be the homeowner's responsibility. Main lines are the utility's. Either way, only a qualified crew should work near them.
How far back should branches be?
Several feet from the roof is a common target, with more clearance for fast-growing species.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
