Trees and other vegetation pose challenges for utility sites in the energy and telecom sectors. To successfully maintain utilities, it’s essential to remove or trim back vegetation, providing unobstructed access and protecting the easement right-of-way footprint for the site and access roads. Clearing easements and maintaining readily accessible sites through vegetation control with Reiss Earthworks is a safe and cost-effective solution. Our team prioritizes the safety of our crew, the public, and utility infrastructure.
The Importance of Easement Vegetation Control
We know making informed choices about budget expenditures is difficult, but prioritizing vegetation control regularly can be a proactive strategy to manage costs. Addressing vegetation concerns early on, before trees encroach over utility infrastructure, compounds, guy anchors, and roads, is a cost-effective approach compared to the potentially higher expenses of removing overgrown vegetation. Recognizing the significance of ground-to-sky vegetation management in your maintenance program ensures safe and uninterrupted service while safeguarding your utility.
Our Vegetation Control Process
Our comprehensive approach includes various techniques such as pruning, trimming, machine extraction, and the installation of weed-deterrent fabrics to control unwanted vegetation around your utility, access road, and auxiliary components. Utilizing specialized equipment, including bucket trucks, cherry pickers, heavy machinery, chainsaws, and pole saws, ensures the safe and effective trimming of vegetation without causing damage to fences, anchors, or other structures.
Often, vegetation control involves using herbicides and harmful chemicals to kill off all live growth. However, operating heavy machinery to reclaim an overgrown right-of-way or utility easement is one of the most influential, affordable, and environmentally friendly vegetation control solutions. By physically removing vegetation, rather than killing it off and leaving it to rot, our team reduces debris around the utility site while creating a more lasting solution to the overgrowth of vegetation around a site.
Easement Vegetation Control Made Easy
Vegetation can significantly impede access to utility sites, which can slow down emergency repairs and regular maintenance. Lack of ability to get to these sites can result in damages to the site itself or problems for the public who rely on the functioning of utility sites. At Reiss Earthworks, we take pride in providing thorough and safe ground-to-sky clearing services that meet the unique needs of our clients.

It’s important to note that specific steps and material choices can vary based on factors such as climate, soil conditions, construction modalities, and intended use. Consulting with professional services such as civil or geotechnical engineering, or hydrologists is always a good idea to tailor the installation process to the unique circumstances of your project.
