Homeowners and others who are not qualified tree care professionals should NEVER prune trees near power lines, NEVER use a chainsaw for pruning, and NEVER get on a ladder to prune.

Even if you think you can do the job yourself, it is better, wiser, and safer to discuss your trees with a tree care professional first. Do not take any chances
