Utility Arborists

A utility arborist is a tree worker who specifically prunes and removes vegetation to ensure the safety and reliability of the electrical power network. This specialized role involves working at heights to clear trees from power lines, which prevents power outages and electrocution hazards, and requires knowledge of safety procedures, electrical hazards, and arboricultural skills. With 3 generations and 90+ years combined experience, we're Utility-Approved to work on powerlines up to 400 kV.
