Oncor contractor ACRT will be contacting affected property owners and tagging doors or any property owners in advance of the trimming. Oncor contractor Lewis Tree Service will be doing the actual trimming.

Oncor uses directional pruning techniques and trims to industry standards and will be pruning those affected trees a minimum of 10 feet as a rule, however cuts could go as far back to the trunk in some cases so as not to jeopardize the health of the tree.

It is normal procedure for Oncor tree trimmers to use cuts in the shape of “V” or “L” or side trims depending on the proximity of the trees to their lines, or the type of tree.

Oncor contractors also properly clean utensils from oak tree to oak tree and they do paint the cuts that are made to the tree when the work is complete, however it is limited to oak trees only.
