When is it necessary to remove trees instead of pruning them away from the power lines?
Normally, when trees are dead or unhealthy, we will discuss with you the possibility of removing the tree(s). A tree may have a decayed portion of the trunk; the entire tree may be dead or in the process of dying which might cause it to break or fall. It may have soil that is severely eroded away from the root system such that it is more likely to fall. Sometimes large growing trees are so close to the lines, and will have to be pruned so severely, that it becomes necessary to take the tree(s) down.
