Trees in Morristown pose an ever-present threat to the electric system. For that reason, Morristown Utility Systems maintains an active Tree Trimming/Tree Replacement Program, which includes not only clearance of limb obstruction, but replacement if the tree has to be completely removed. If a tree must be removed, our customers are given a choice from various low growth species of trees for replacement.
One question that we are often asked about our program is: "What method do you use to trim our trees?" Our crews use only the "lateral" or "natural" trimming method. In this method, limbs are removed at the nearest main branch and not trimmed in length. We will not "top" a tree unless it is absolutely necessary, and we will not "round" trees.
The method we use is recommended and endorsed by experts, including the Arbor Day Foundation.
Our crews work continually to make sure the lines are clear from tree obstruction, which is another way you can count us for reliable utility service.
If you would like more information on this program please call Chuck Smith at 423-317-6287.
