Ensuring Safety & Reliability for Utility Providers
At JPS Tree Services, we work closely with utility clients to manage vegetation along rights-of-way, ensuring safe and reliable power delivery.
How JPS Supports Utility Line Clearance Programs
Our services for utilities cover everything from distribution and transmission right-of-way maintenance to consulting, hazard tree removal, and custom herbicide applications.
We partner with utility clients to:
- Develop pre-storm emergency response plans
- Conduct line-of-sight and vegetation risk assessments
- Trained arborists for safe trimming near energized lines
- Ensure compliance with NERC and local utility regulations
Homeowner Tree Trimming Near Power Lines
Safety is critical when trees grow near power lines. If you notice vegetation encroaching your local utility’s lines:
- Contact your local energy provider first
- Avoid trimming trees near energized lines
- JPS Tree Services arborists are trained and certified to safely prune trees near high-voltage equipment
- Professional appearance in every season
For areas beyond the right-of-way (typically 10 feet or more from the line), our professionals can safely trim trees without additional utility training.
