In my area it's as simple as a call to the utility company. They will
trim any branches near or touching their lines...at NO charge.

Since this does *not* involve branches near or touching the power company's lines, it's
unlikely that they would do it at all, let alone free of charge.

Also, in my community, if trimming a tree could possibly cause damage or
a safety problem, they will come out and disconnect your power wires
and reconnected them within an hour of your job completion...

all at NO charge.

That advice is a bit more practical...


So call them first.
