Contact the power/electric company. They are required to keep branches etc away from the wires. That is part of their job.

The power company will do it, but if you like the trees, you should hire someone yourself. The Power Company will butcher the things, cutting them way, way back, which could even lead to them dying. Plus, they dont trim the tree to make it look good, I have even seen it where the cut a hole through the center of the tree branches to clear them from the lines, but then leave the sides of the tree looking as big as ever (and its not a good look). So if you care about how it looks, or if you want the trees to live, hiring an arborist privately is the way to go, if you dont care, like if you are out in the country where it doesnt matter or whatever, just let the power company do it for free.

Our city council got the bright idea to hire an out-of-town contractor to come in and "trim" trees around power lines, yes even those on private property. Unbelievable the mess they found themselves in.
Basically what came out of it is homeowners are responsible for insuring all their trees do not touch or hinder power lines. If the city finds the effort inadequate, then the city can bring in a contractor to trim the trees back.
All the complaining backfired in June when we were hit by a massive storm with tornadoes. Many people were without power because their trees fell on the power lines. Since then, the homeowners have stopped complaining about the trimming.
Call your local power company and report the trees. They'll do an inspection and probably send someone to trim them back.

Call the city and ask them. Most times they cut down the trees along the street row.

It depends on if the tree is fully on your property or in the "right of way" section between the sidewalk and the street. If it is fully on your property, it is your responsibility, and you really should hire an arborist or "tree doctor" to trim back far enough, while still ensuring the health of the tree. If it is in between the sidewalk and the street, you may not be allowed to trim it yourself, depending on the rules in your city. Contact city hall to find out if you need permits, or if they are fully responsible.

Usually the power company takes care of that. They don't want them bringing down the power lines either.

Wow! Lot of dumb stuff in a small area yet enable me attempt to furnish you a reaction. a million) Administering the dying penalty technique is approximately 600% greater costly than life imprisonment. 2) inner maximum prisons, like public ones, are one hundred% funded with taxpayer money. there isn't any different source of investment of direction. 3) The dying penalty isn't long previous so it will be hard to hold it decrease back. 32 states, the U. S. government and the U. S. protection stress all have the dying penalty. 18 states and the District of Columbia do no longer. Did you thoroughly pass 4th grade?
