Highways and Utilities

We offer commercial tree services including highway and utility arboriculture. We are an experienced service provider working as a sub-contractor to several main contractors. Working closely with our clients we clear tree growth from highways, infrastructure, electric conductors, power lines and structures.

Utility Tree Services: Utility tree services typically involve managing trees that are in proximity to utility lines such as power lines, telecommunication cables, or pipelines. These services are crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of utility infrastructure. Tree branches can interfere with power lines, leading to outages or safety hazards. 

Highway Tree Surgery: Highway tree surgery involves the care and maintenance of trees along highways and roadsides. Trees along highways can enhance aesthetics, provide shade, and contribute to overall environmental health. However, they may also need regular maintenance to ensure they do not pose a hazard to drivers, pedestrians, or the infrastructure itself.

Key Considerations:

Safety: Safety is paramount in both utility and highway tree surgery. Professionals need to follow safety protocols to protect themselves, the public, and the infrastructure.

Regulations: Compliance with local regulations and permits is important. Different areas may have specific rules regarding tree removal, especially when utility lines are involved.

Environmental Impact: Consideration for the environmental impact of tree surgery is crucial. This includes proper disposal of tree waste and adherence to environmental regulations.

Infrastructure Protection: Careful planning is needed to ensure that tree surgery activities do not damage utility infrastructure or highways.

Emergency Response: Quick response to emergencies, such as storm damage or fallen trees, is essential to minimize disruptions to both utility services and highway traffic.

The combination of utility and highway tree surgery services involves a comprehensive approach to manage and maintain trees in areas where both utility infrastructure and highways are present.

Coordination, safety, compliance with regulations, and environmental considerations are key factors in the successful execution of these services.
