Tree clearing
When good trees go bad

We love trees... well, at least we love trees that are planted away from power lines. Trees that grow into power lines can cause blinks and outages. They also pose a safety hazard to the public because a tree in the line can conduct electricity. In addition, these trees can create "line losses" that have to be incorporated into everyone's electric rates.

The photos on the left are a before and after of work near Gothenburg, Nebraska. We were glad to work with the property owner to get the trees cleared.

If you chose to plant a tree, please read the label to determine the mature height and width of the tree. Plant far enough away from power lines so that it won't cause future problems.
