Tree Trimming

By: Mr. Wilson on May 17, 2010
A man just came to the door asking about trimming our trees off the power lines. I said yes because we have several branches that could cause us headaches in a big thunder or snow storm. But after I told him "By all means!", I began to second guess myself. This isn't one of those situations where I'll receive an obscene bill, is it?

Quick! Someone go to Mr. W’s house and offer to shovel his walk!

It depends-the city will trim things adjacent to their wire, and have an online submission thingy about their tree trimming program, but someone offering to trim your trees? IF they have a card, web presence, and can confirm that they are insured, why not?

Once you see the price, my advice is to not argue with a man holding a chainsaw. I’ve been to the movies, I know what can happen…
