Cityscape // Tree pruning is now underway to help protect power lines throughout the city. Left, Ron Branch, a lift foreman, is among the workers removing branches that could knock down lines in a storm. He is an employee of Pennsylvania-based Asplundh Tree Expert Co., one of the private contractors Dominion Energy has hired to do the work. Asplundh general foreman David Fox describes the work as “regular maintenance to help keep customers’ lights on.”
