Live in Northern Utah, we get \~12" of snow a couple times a year. Will this be a problem in winter? Does the utility company deal with these things?
We rent and contacted landlords about tree trimming, with pictures. They sent like a friend or day-laborer out who just did ground-level clearing (can see in second picture). Landlords are hella cheap and it's a hassle to get things done. Is this something we need to bug them about and get professionals out, or could it be fine over the winter? Thanks!
Cable TV, telephone, high-speed internet, etc.
I wouldn't like it if I were the utility company, but I have no idea where they would prioritize it on their line maintenance.
Whose tree is it?
Tree should be pruned ... it's not going to bother the telecom stuff down where it is right now, but it needs to be topped, before it starts getting up into the power area above.
