Hello everyone
We have, or are about to, purchase a plot of land where a few trees are still standing. These are spruces, unfortunately located close to the power line that runs across the property, as well as near the telephone cable that also crosses the land.
So, it will probably be necessary to carry out hazard tree removal. Or is it possible to ask the power company and the telecom provider if they can temporarily disconnect the lines for a certain period to allow the trees to be cut down? Then the neighbor’s house would have to manage without electricity for an hour or two... :-(
I think that could be cheaper than handling the removal of eight trees as hazard trees, right?
This is the middle plot, and although I’m not happy about the cables crossing the property, it’s a small village and all houses are connected like this to power and telephone lines :-(
Best regards
Andreas

Thank you!
Thank you!

That would solve the problem, right?Yes, but the neighbors might have to cover the costs. You need to proceed carefully if you want to avoid damaging good neighbor relations early on.Similar topics
