Branches are growing toward the lines that run to your house, garage or barn. You worry about outages, sparks, or a limb coming down in a storm. You do not know who should handle it. Toms Tree Services can help with utility line clearance in Marquette, working alongside your utility company.
When Do You Need Utility Line Clearance?
Line clearance means keeping trees and limbs a safe distance from overhead lines on your property.
Safety first: never trim near a line yourself. If a tree or limb is touching a power line, stay far away and call your utility company right away.
Only trained utility crews should work close to energized lines. The utility may trim near the line, or turn off the power so other work can be done safely. Ask your utility what they handle and what is up to you.
Our part is the tree work the utility leaves to the owner, at safe distances. That can include trimming or removing trees that are growing toward the lines, and dealing with dead or leaning trees that could fall onto them.
In the U.P., heavy lake-effect snow and ice weigh limbs down onto lines, and Lake Superior wind storms drop trees across them.
We help homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County, and will travel farther for the right job.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your property.
Then we come out and look. We look at the trees near your lines and talk with you about what the utility has said. We explain what we can safely do and what must be left to the utility. Then we plan the work.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Utility Line Clearance Cost?
The cost depends on the number and size of trees, how close they are to lines and buildings, access and the equipment needed. Distance and cleanup also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
