Tree maintenance & damage to yard
1
Understand completely that maintenance of trees along power lines is necessary, and appreciate having reliable power - no qualms there. However, significant damage was done to a cool season lawn heading into summer, while already under drought-like conditions. Significant debris left on lawn had to be raked by hand. Several portions of grass killed due to exhaust from heavy equipment. Less significant damage caused from heavy equipment being driven on yard, and falling branches. Would appreciate future maintenance taking place during a more grass-friendly time, such as very early spring, or winter so homeowner would have an opportunity to repair damage and not have unsightly bare spots in an otherwise decent lawn. ~$30 was spent on various products to attempt to grow grass in the damaged areas. Fingers crossed, however success rate is likely very low given multiple 90 degree days, and very little rain.
