The power line on or near your property is a vital link that supplies energy that serves all of us. If trees and brush are left to grow uncontrolled, they can quickly overgrow power lines and transformers. Uncontrolled trees and brush also make maintenance and routine service much more difficult and expensive. Keeping Your Costs Down Every dollar that a utility saves helps to keep your energy costs down. Mowing and hand clearing methods for cutting down trees and brush have their place.
Mechanical clearing can also destroy wildlife nesting areas and habitat.
What's more, these methods don't stop brush and trees from resprouting once they are cut. Mechanical and hand clearing also require constant, costly upkeep. By using herbicides, we can delay the need to come back and re-clear for several years. The herbicide products we use have been thoroughly tested and have been approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Before this approval was granted, these herbicides were studied for years to determine that they do not present an unreasonable risk to human health or to the environment, Experience and further study have shown that many of these modern herbicides eliminate unwanted trees and brush and leave a carpet of lush grass.
