How is the ROW cleared?

The ROW is cleared by cut­ting, trim­ming, mow­ing and where per­mis­si­ble, apply­ing her­bi­cides. In most cas­es, all shrubs, brush and trees are removed under pri­ma­ry (main), over­head pow­er lines. They are also removed, as and around sec­ondary, low-volt­age pow­er lines that bring pow­er from the trans­former to your meter. Cut­ting and trim­ming are done by trained, pro­fes­sion­al util­i­ty tree trim­mers using spe­cif­ic and proven stan­dards typ­i­cal to the indus­try.
