Yes we are PG&E. It's a total mess.
After getting sued and losing billions due to starting CA wildfires, they knee-jerked and went overboard on tree removals and trimming. About 3 years ago, one PG&E advance man spent 4 days examining my property, and marked 39 trees for removal. All along my entrance driveway. Average 24" diameter but going up to 36" diameter.
His qualifications? He had looked at some videos on the internet. Yes, I asked him his qualifications and that was his answer.
When I complained, they sent out a 4-man team including a licensed arborist. Their conclusion was not a single one of the 39 trees needed removal-- just a trim here and there.
If I didn't complain, they would have taken them all down.
The tree crew people who do the actual trimming and removal are total animals. They'll butcher anything to get the job done. If they trim limbs or fall a tree, and it's too far from the tree to their truck and
chipper-- they chop stuff up and drag it in the forest and hide it instead.
I had one crew drag trimmed limbs and throw it all into the culvert and street. They put an orange cone out, as if someone else would come by to deal with it, and drive away. It stayed there for 6 months until I finally went and cleaned it up. I repeatedly complained and refused other work on my property until it got removed but no one .. ever .. would touch it.
I will stop ranting now, because if I didn't I could keep typing for hours ...
