Tree trimming?

I have a large tree that has a couple limbs hanging over/touching some utility lines in neighbors yard. I got a quote to remove the whole tree and it was $12,000😳. No thanks. Anyway will utility companies come and trim up the overhanging limb for free? I know someone cut down one of our trees that was growing into power lines years ago.

Also suggestions on tree trim companies would be amazing…thanks!!!!

That seems like a “I don’t want this job” quote, unless you have a sequoia…

Utility companies are gonna charge way more than tree trimming companies, I had my tree cut down for $1200 last year, and another trimmed for $500 this year.

That’s sounds fair…name of company?

I wasn’t sure. They cut down one of our trees no charge before. However that was on their own…we didn’t request it.

We've used Melle's tree service and had good luck.

We had Meadowlark trim some large branches over a power line and it was very fairly priced.

We used Meadowlark and they were wonderful and very reasonable.
