Integrated Vegetation Management

Coordinated vegetation control for today, tomorrow and every day after.

A Method for Nature's Madness

Nature is unpredictable by, well, nature. But, with the right systematic approach, we can combat unpredictability through thoughtful planning around your environment and needs. We tackle IVM using various controlled methods spanning multiple years to maintain proper vegetation. These strategic efforts result in ongoing improvement to the environment surrounding your power line or right of way path.

Creating Systematic Success

IVM is a holistic approach to everything your environment may require, from tree pruning and mowing to herbicide applications and line clearing, and involves methodical planning to ensure maximum success. When done right, this results in easier maintenance over time ‚Äî creating less work and less expense than traditional vegetation management.

Hear It From Our Clients

"Townsend Tree has established a good working relationship with Duke Energy. I always appreciate the open, honest and candid feedback I receive when we have phone calls or are able to meet in person. Their local leadership team is very proud of the work their crews do and have invited me into the field on many occasions so we could review the work together. They have also become the role model for contractors on how we operate in the new pandemic environment. On the scheduled Teams calls, most of the leadership team is on camera and engaged in the call. "

"Townsend has worked for Southeastern Indiana REMC for the 21 years that I have been here. We started a new Right of Way project four years ago to regain our easement, and Townsend has done a great job of staying on schedule and getting their work complete every year. They take care of problems if they arise, and no questions are asked if they caused the issue it is fixed with little to no input from me. They run a very good business for the work they do for us. I would recommend them to anyone needing great quality work done."

"I'd like to ... tell you what a good job Josh Griles and his crew did on my property taking down a danger tree for Southside Electric Cooperative. They did a great job getting the tree down safely and left my property very neat and clean! "

"Until you have a storm or something big happens in your state, you won't understand the feeling of seeing large fleets of company vehicles from other states coming to aid in the efforts of cleanup. Townsend Tree Service I see you. I mouthed a 'thank you' as I drove by, and one of the crew smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I'm grateful for you working alongside Duke Energy to help restore power and get our roads clear in our state. "

"After a fire in the top of a tree, GVEC sent out the crew from Townsend to trim the top of the trees away from the electric lines. They were all very efficient, professional and nice. While I hope to never have another fire, I would be happy to have this team back anytime."
