When planting a tree, it is important to select one that has suitable characteristics for the location. No one tree is perfect for all locations.
Plant trees near power lines according to the height and width of the mature tree (See diagram below).
Please remember to contact Alberta One Call at 1.800.242.3447 to arrange for the marking of the location of buried facilities before a ground disturbance takes place.
It’s also important to consider Utility Rights-of-Way when planning trees. Read more about Utility Rights-of-Way.
