Tree Removal

[RBOD]

I have a tree in my back yard that is a real pain in my arse. I'd like it removed, possibly along with another back there. The issue is the power lines are woven through the tree. Will anyone actually touch this or do I need DTE to come handle it before removal?

I JUST went through this.

Call DTE, they will trim the branches. while the guys are there, talk to them on the side and see if any of them want a side job.

Otherwise, I called a local tree service and they used a bucket truck to cut down the tree. The trunk of the tree was about 2-3' from the power pole.

It was expensive, but not any tree compan will cut down a tree that close to the power line/poles.
