Tree TrimmingThe City of Rock Falls tree trimming methods and polices.

Method of Trimming: The department uses the lateral or natural tree trimming

methods. In this method, limbs are removed at their nearest main branch, and nottrimmed in length. The Department will not “top” a tree unless it is absolutely

necessary. The Department will not “round” trees.

Lateral tree trimming has been endorsed by experts, including the Arbor Day

Foundation, as the best method to trim trees. Although the appearance of the tree

can be unusual after the initial trim, the appearance quickly improves with time and

  .

Clearance Distances: The department trims all trees to a minimum of nine feet

from the primary (top) conductors. Trees that overhang the system are trimmed as

the worker can reach with the equipment on site.

Tree Removal: If a tree is obviously diseased, dying or dead and is on publicproperty, the department will remove the tree. If the tree is on private property the

property owner will have the tree remove at his expense.

Trimming Trees on Private Property: There are two conditions where the

department will trim a tree that is located on private property.

If the tree violates the nine-foot clearance, the department will trim to that

clearance. It is not possible to notify property owners of this action.

If a property owner has a tree that is dangerously close to the power lines, the

department will aid in the removal and/or trimming of that tree. this is done for

safety reasons. Persons in this situation should contact the department for

specific guidance.

Limbs on Service Drops: The department does not maintain clearance on limbs on

or over the service drop on private property. The property owner is responsible forthe trees on his property. At the owners request, the department will remove a

service drop to allow an owner to trim or remove a tree adjacent to it. This service is

provided during business hours only at no charge. Please contact the department

for further information.

Topping or Tipping: The department will not top, tip or round a tree, these

techniques in our view lead to many cut between nodes, encouragement of manysprouts, and cause for more trimming later on.
