We also pay a tree service to trim the tree when needed to remove any dead or diseased branches, and keep branches clear of utilities, so that the tree is not a threat. If trees are regularly maintained in this way and are healthy, they should NOT be removed.<br /><br />I recognize the need for more reliable service. After the problems of recent years, minimizing tree damage is an obvious answer. However, property owners should have the legal option of hiring a tree service to trim their trees.<br /><br />We have rarely lost power in these extreme storms, when many areas nearby did, because the trees along our alley have gotten regular maintenance. Those trees provide a lot of environmental benefit, and I would hate to lose them. It shouldn't be an either-or choice, when a middle ground can be found through regular maintenance.Fargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532756626266773921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549008122476800431.post-80386058614582586212012-02-27T07:31:13.117-06:002012-02-27T07:31:13.117-06:00If you want trees, don't compalain about ComEd...If you want trees, don't compalain about ComEd after you loose your power during and following sever storms. Its about time the state gave the utilities the ability to provide reliable service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
