Linthicum Heights, MD Success Story

Tree Removal Near Power Lines for BWI Corridor Property

Service: Tree Removal Service / Tree Cutting Service

Project Snapshot
A Linthicum Heights homeowner contacted AmeriTree Experts about a large silver maple growing alongside the rear property line that had grown into proximity with secondary electrical service lines running at the back of the property. The tree had been flagged by the utility company as requiring attention.

Challenges
Working near active electrical service lines required strict safety protocols and directional precision in all cuts. The tree could not be felled in the direction of the lines under any circumstances. Access from the opposite side was limited by a shed. The homeowner was on a deadline from the utility company.

Solution
AmeriTree Experts established a rigging plan that directed all sections away from the power lines throughout removal. Working from the line-side canopy outward, the crew removed the branches nearest the lines first using careful hand-rigging, then sectioned the main canopy down from a safe lateral position.

Results
The tree was removed without any contact with the service lines. The utility company deadline was met. The shed was undamaged. The homeowner received written documentation of the completed work for the utility company’s records.

“The utility company had given me a deadline and the lines made it a tricky job. They followed all the right protocols, kept everything away from the wires, and I had documentation to send back to the utility. Done on time, done right.”
