Dale: You apparently missed the context of my comment. I was
referring to hiring your own arborist as opposed to going with
the free butcher job offered by the power company's tree cutters.
If the arborist is working for me, s/he will do it to my
specifications or not get the job.

I don't know about your state, Roger, but Louisiana arborists are
required to be licensed. Part of the requirements for licensing
is that they know and be trained about such things as working
around power lines and how to prune a tree so that it will meet
power
company specifications
.. That's why I said arborist and not
just a tree trimmer which can be any old hack with a chainsaw
operating illegally.

Alan,
" how to prune a tree so that it will meet power company
specifications"
I think THAT is the important part of your statement....
that and being combined with laziness and not caring how it looks
when you are done!
