The trees are cut in a way to ensure the safety of the power lines and doing what is best for the life cycle of the tree.
The biggest concern Davis-Handy hears is about the way the trees are trimmed.
The company works year-round as a preventative measure in what she called a comprehensive line-clearing program. Astute residents may notice the trees in front of their homes and apartments are usually only trimmed by the utility every three years.to continue services with a set of standards for all public electrical utilities. The code plainly says tree trimming should maintain safe conditions around utility property, ensure reliable service and prevent potential hazards.
Workers will also look for evidence that the tree may have previously touched the lines. Burn marks and scarring can be visible from the ground or the truck’s elevated baskets. Companies are held accountable to maintain the trees and avoid situations that may put the public’s safety at risk. AES takes it a step further, offering customers and anyone interested with a resource to consider if planting new trees or landscaping.
