Tree Trimming Program

Our commitment to safety

Trees add charm and fresh air. And, just as we need to trim our hair for health and maintenance, our trees also require grooming. Vera’s tree trimming program isn’t about making the trees look perfect—it’s about keeping us safe and ensuring we have reliable electricity.

When tree branches get too cozy with power lines, they can cause problems, from outages to safety hazards.

Here’s why we trim trees:
  • Avoiding Power Outages: Trimming keeps those branches in check, reducing the chance of unexpected outages.

  • Preventing Fires: Power lines can create sparks that may catch on nearby branches. Keeping trees trimmed reduces this fire hazard.

  • Stopping Flickering Lights: Ever notice your lights flicker during a windy day? That’s often because tree branches are brushing against power lines. Regular trimming helps prevent this.

  • Making Repairs Safer: Clear power lines make it safer and faster for lineworkers to fix issues or restore power.

Have questions or concerns?

We understand that you might have questions or concerns about how trimming is done—or maybe about a specific tree near your home. Please contact us at 888-774-8272.
