Our Process

Working near utility lines requires specialized training, equipment, and insurance. Our crew follows all OSHA and utility company safety protocols. We carefully trim or remove branches that threaten power lines, cable lines, and phone lines, restoring safe clearance without damaging the lines or your trees.

Common Situations We Handle

Common utility line clearing situations in Anne Arundel County include fast-growing trees like silver maples and Bradford pears pushing into overhead power lines, branches rubbing on cable or phone lines causing service issues, dead limbs hanging over primary power lines that could fall and cause an outage, and trees that have grown into the BGE right-of-way after years of neglect. We also handle preventive clearing before hurricane season to reduce the risk of storm-related power outages.

Cost of Utility Line Clearing in Annapolis

Utility line clearing costs depend on the scope of work, typically ranging from $300 to $2,000. Basic branch trimming for clearance around a single line runs $300 to $800. More extensive clearing involving multiple trees or hazardous limbs over primary power lines costs $800 to $2,000. In some cases, BGE or your utility company may cover the cost of clearing within their right-of-way. We can help you determine whether your situation qualifies.

Why Professional Service Matters

Never attempt to trim trees near power lines yourself. Even touching a branch that's in contact with a power line can be fatal. Our crews are trained and equipped for this dangerous work, with full insurance coverage for utility line proximity operations.
