Hi, I’m Trav, the founder of Trav’s Tree Services. Every time we run a job near powerlines, we understand exactly what’s at stake — people’s homes, their safety, and the reliability of essential services. I’ve seen firsthand how dangerous it can be when trees are left to grow unchecked near high-voltage powerlines. It’s not just about preventing power outages; it’s about protecting lives.
That’s why we take safety so seriously. We assess every risk, measure every clearance, and never take chances. Whether it’s a single tree or an entire street, we make sure every job is done properly so no one has to worry about power outages or fire hazards. If you need a team that puts safety first, give us a call.
The required clearance distance varies depending on voltage levels and local regulations. In general, trees should be kept a safe distance from power lines to prevent outages, fires, and safety hazards. Our team will help make sure that your trees meet all safety requirements and remain within legal limits.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees on their land, ensuring they do not encroach on power lines. However, in public areas or near high-voltage lines, local councils or energy providers manage vegetation. We can assess your situation and determine who holds responsibility for the necessary work.
Certain tree trimming projects near power lines require council or energy provider approval, particularly for large-scale or high-risk jobs. We handle the permit application process on your behalf to ensure you have all the permits you may need and that all work is compliant with local and state regulations.
Neglecting tree maintenance near power lines can cause power outages, fines, and potential liability if damage occurs. Overgrown trees can also pose a significant fire risk, especially in dry conditions. Regular tree trimming and vegetation management help keep your property safe and compliant.
Tree trimming frequency depends on the tree species, growth rate, and local regulations. Some fast-growing trees may require annual trimming, while others can be maintained every few years. Our experts can recommend a suitable schedule based on your specific needs.
Yes, if a tree poses a significant risk and cannot be safely trimmed, removal may be the best option. We assess each situation carefully and can remove trees when necessary, ensuring compliance with council and energy provider requirements.
Yes, if a tree is dangerously close to a powerline or has been damaged in a storm, we provide emergency services to mitigate risks. Contact us immediately if you have a tree emergency, and we’ll respond promptly.
