Trees Near Power Lines in Denver: What Homeowners Should Know
Trees near power lines need extra caution. Denver homeowners should never treat branches touching or close to utility lines like ordinary tree trimming. The safest first step is to identify whether utility involvement or emergency help is needed before requesting normal trimming or cleanup.
Do not touch branches contacting power lines
If any tree, limb, or branch is touching a power line, stay away and contact the utility or appropriate emergency service. This is not a normal cleanup situation.
Take safe wide photos only if you can do so from a distance
If it is safe, take wide photos from the ground and away from the hazard. Do not climb, pull, cut, or move branches near electrical lines.
After the utility issue is clear, cleanup can be reviewed
Once the power-line safety issue is handled, remaining branches, brush piles, or cleanup needs may be reviewed with photos, access details, and haul-away expectations.
