Good to Know
Working near power lines requires trained crews and specific safety protocols. Trees close to electrical lines must be removed in small sections using rigging gear to keep branches and trunks away from wires. Effingham County homeowners should hire tree services with experience in this type of work. Improper cuts near power lines can cause outages, fires, or serious injuries.
Our Solution
The Buff’s Tree Service crew evaluated both trees and planned the work to keep all cuts and rigging away from the power lines. Trimming on the first tree was completed with careful attention to branch placement. The second tree was removed in sections using rigging gear to control each piece as it came down. The crew chipped branches and hauled larger wood off site. Cleanup was complete before the crew left.
