This guide is an excellent reference for planting trees.
Before planting, research the tree or shrub’s potential growth and check the distance to the lines or pad-mounted transformer. If you have additional questions regarding plans and guidelines, please contact one of HEMC’s certified arborists.

- 30′ to 40′ Small Tree Zone: Trees less than 25′ tall / spread at least 25′ from lines.
