Am I responsible if a dead tree falls on power lines?

• <div><p>Homeowners are usually not responsible for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/if-tree-falls-power-line-who-responsible.htm">trees that fall on power lines</a>. Power companies usually have utility easements around power lines, which give them the responsibility to maintain any trees within about 15 to 20 feet of the lines.</p></div>

How much do arborists charge?

• <div><p>Typically, arborists charge between <b>$100 and $350</b> per hour. The amount an arborist charges depends on several factors, such as the type of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-inspection-cost.htm">tree inspection</a>, the number of trees, and accessibility. The price can also depend on whether you are working with an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring an arborist, you should consider their experience, insurance coverage, and fees.</p></div>

How long can a dead tree remain?

• <div><p>Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later. </p></div>

Grant came to remove a dying tree. He did a great job. It was less than 24 hours from first call to the tree being removed. He landed the large trunk straight into the ditch, with no damage to my shrubs or yard. He removed all the mess and cleaned up beautifully. The price was fair and he earned...

Jerry was quick to respond to our initial inquiry. We had a very large tree that had grown to over 30' high and branches were against the sides of the house and this tree needed to be severely trimmed. There were also several fruit trees that needed attention. This property had been neglected...
