Specialty Utility Line Clearance Services
Right of Way Clearance:
Our experienced crews are available to carry out vegetation clearance work in accordance with the latest regulations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
Custom Herbicide and Growth Regulator Application:
We do tailor-made herbicide solutions to keep the ground cleared of weeds and fast-growing shrubs near your power lines. Where necessary, we will apply growth regulator chemicals to slow the growth of nearby vegetation. This reduces how often arborists will need to clear power lines, allowing us to cover more area each year.
Mechanical Trimming:
Where trees are difficult to reach and to minimize risk, we utilize mechanical equipment to clear power lines of encroaching vegetation. While these cuts can be rougher compared with manual trimming, this approach is safer or mandatory in certain instances.
Permitting/Pre-Notification Services:
We are familiar with the permitting and pre-notification processes and requirements in OR, WA, ID, and MT. Thus, we make the workflow for utility line clearance projects easier.
Emergency Response:
Our teams are on-call for emergency services to handle fallen limbs or trees near power lines following a storm or high wind event.
Forestry Consulting:
We have ISA-certified arborists on staff to survey your power lines and assess nearby vegetation. From there, we’ll create a multi-year vegetation management plan that utilizes both tree trimming and chemical treatments.
