Tree Trimming Notice
Important Tree Trimming Notice for Debary Residents!

We wanted to give you a heads up about some tree pruning work that will be happening in our City from now until the end of the 3rd quarter of 2023. The purpose of this work is to trim trees near the electric lines that run through our area to prevent power outages.

Above is a map showing which lines will be trimmed. Normally, the crews will start at the substation and move outwards along the lines. They will also clean up any debris that results from their maintenance activities.
  • It's important to remember that if there is debris from storm damage or other unrelated events, homeowners are responsible for its removal. Duke Energy crews are only handling debris caused by their maintenance work.
  • Some pruning will be done on lateral lines, and in certain cases, the crew may need to access the rear lot areas by climbing trees.
  • Trees are one of the main causes of power outages, but Duke Energy is working hard to minimize them! Duke Energy Florida has been recognized by The National Arbor Day Foundation for 16 years in a row for our tree care practices, earning the Tree Line USA designation. They strive to find a balance between providing reliable power and caring for the environment and the health of our trees. Their tree crews follow a technique called directional pruning, which is supported by The National Arbor Day Foundation and the International Society of Arboriculture. All of their employees are supervised by certified arborists.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this tree pruning period!
