The Dangers of Overgrown Tree Canopies in Oak Ridge

This homeowner had several mature oak trees lining their property. Unfortunately, several of them were growing near power lines and the homeowner’s house.

If the trees continued growing without trimming, their branches could reach the electrical lines. If that were to happen, the lines could ignite or electrify the tree. The trees could also shed heavy branches or fall onto the landscape or nearby structures during severe weather events.

Professional Tree Care Services Give This Oak Tree a New Look

Summit Tree Care approached this Oak Ridge project with the same care and precision they approach other tree care situations. They first assessed each oak tree to determine the best way to trim and prune its branches. Due to the height and location of these trees, they decided a compact aerial lift would be ideal. 

The team used the lift to reach the upper branches of each tree. They ensured that the encroaching branches don’t interfere with nearby structures or power lines. They also removed dead or weak branches.
