Some of my neighbors need occasional help with tree maintenance. One is elderly and can no longer safely climb trees, while another rarely visits his property. This time I worked on a neighbor's land that had been unattended for quite a while. Several trees had grown close to power lines, and it seemed likely they would become a problem sooner or later. I spent part of the day trimming and cutting back the overgrown branches. The property looks tidier now, and the trees are no longer touching the electrical wiring.
