HOMEOWNER RESPONSIBILITY
These wires are the home owner’s responsibly to complete the tree work needed around them.
(A) A lower-voltage service wire brings electricity from the street power pole through to a mast on your house, which belongs to you. Trees around service wires could damage your mast and cause a power interruption to your home. Click Request an estimate to schedule an assessment with one of our arborists
(B) Communication wires (with black insulation around them) are the lower wires that run along the street and into your house, transmitting phone, cable and Internet signals. These are not electrical wires. Trees around these wires do not threaten the electrical system.
(C) Support cables provide physical support to utility poles. These are not electrical wires. Trees or bushes around these wires do not threaten the electrical system.
We do not work around high voltage wires. Please visit Nova Scotia Power’s website to request pruning around high voltage lines
