Alvin tree work near power lines

Work planned closer than the law allows needs at least 48 hours' notice to the line operator, agreed safety measures and payment of the operator's actual cost. In Alvin that operator is CenterPoint or Texas-New Mexico Power depending on your address, so find the name on your bill and call before limbs come down near a line. Ask the crew whether it has made that call before work starts.

Hiring an Alvin tree service

Spraying or treating trees for pests for hire needs a TDA structural pest control license in the lawn and ornamental category, so ask for it if the quote includes treatment. ISA Certified Arborist is a credential from the International Society of Arboriculture, a professional body, and holders must follow its Code of Ethics. Ask for proof of liability insurance and two recent local references as well. Texas sales tax applies to tree removal, pruning and spraying. HomeGuide puts removal at $400 to $1,200 and trimming at $400 to $900 a tree nationally (2026 pages); the Texas tree service guide has more. See the Alvin hub or Friendswood tree service.
