Most trees don’t seem dangerous—until they do.
A few days ago, we got a call from a homeowner in Wayne, NJ.
A massive tree stood towering over their property, dangerously close to the power lines.
One bad storm, one strong gust of wind, and it could have taken out electricity for half the neighborhood.
But how do you remove a tree like that without causing chaos?
Well, that’s where Joe Marra Tree Service comes in.
This wasn’t just any tree removal.
This was a high-stakes maneuver, where one wrong cut could mean snapped power lines, property damage, or worse.
Trees near power lines are among the most dangerous to remove because:
DIY?
Not an Option.
Our experienced crew came in with a step-by-step strategy:
We analyzed the tree’s lean, the power line proximity, and wind conditions.
We notified the necessary authorities and set up safety precautions.
Instead of felling the tree in one go, we used expert operators for aerial lift. We went over the power lines to dismantle the tree piece by piece.
Each cut section was carefully roped down, avoiding the power lines and surrounding homes.
It wasn’t just about cutting—it was about controlling every movement.
The final cut landed the last section right where we wanted it, without a single issue.
Power stayed on.
No damage.
Just another day’s work for professionals who do this every day.
If you’ve got a tree near power lines, don’t wait until it becomes an emergency.
Call Joe Marra Tree Service—because some risks just aren’t worth taking.
