Tree trimming in Fort Wayne
Local trimming is mostly clearance over roofs and driveways, deadwood removal, and keeping branches off service drops. Utility-side clearance on main lines is handled by Indiana Michigan Power's own contractors; homeowners and private crews should stay at least 10 feet from overhead lines and call the utility for anything closer.
Common reasons to trim
- Branches over the roof or rubbing shingles
- Low limbs over the drive or sidewalk
- Deadwood that could fall
- Thinning to reduce wind load
Good practice
- Cuts outside the branch collar
- No topping
- Usually no more than about a quarter of the live canopy removed at once
