How often does the City of Alexandria Electric Distribution Department trim in my area?
Trees that interfere with distribution lines are trimmed on a four- to five-year cycle. Those trees are pruned so that adequate clearance can be maintained between the tree and the overhead lines between cycles. We attempt to obtain enough clearance to withstand normal seasonal weather conditions to keep us from having to come back frequently.
