When cutbacks rely on notes and scattered photos, it’s hard to know if work met safety standards, or to defend it later. Treeline adds consistency and proof. By comparing before-and-after conditions against AI-driven risk recommendations, it confirms compliance, flags follow-ups, and delivers accountability you can trust.

Vegetation cutbacks are only as good as their verification. Yet most utilities still rely on subjective crew notes and scattered photos to confirm whether work was done to standard. Without consistent proof, utilities face gaps in accountability, disputes with contractors, and limited ability to defend themselves to regulators or insurers.
Verification depends on what crews record, and reporting practices vary widely. Without standardized evidence, utilities struggle to ensure vegetation was cut back to safe clearance levels across the entire network.
When spans aren’t trimmed correctly, utilities often find out too late, during the next patrol or, worse, after an outage. With no reliable way to confirm contractor performance, accountability slips and costly rework follows.
Weak Compliance Defense
Incomplete or inaccurate documentation makes it difficult to prove due diligence. In the face of regulatory audits or insurance claims, utilities risk penalties, legal exposure, and reputational damage without verifiable cutback records.
Money Wasted on Missed Cuts
Without objective verification, utilities end up paying twice: once for the initial trim and again for corrective work when spans are found out of spec. This cycle erodes budgets and drains resources that should be driving long-term vegetation strategy.
How Utilities Verify Cutbacks With Treeline
Treeline gives utilities a standardized, objective way to confirm vegetation work. By comparing before-and-after conditions against AI-driven risk recommendations, it ensures cutbacks meet safety standards, highlights spans needing follow-up, and creates defensible proof for compliance and audits.
Verify Clearances With Objective Evidence
Treeline automatically compares vegetation conditions before and after trims against clearance standards. This ensures every span is validated consistently, replacing subjective crew notes with reliable, satellite-powered proof.
Surface Missed or Incomplete Cuts First
By scoring spans against required clearance thresholds, Treeline highlights where follow-up is needed most. Utilities can quickly prioritize rework, reduce costly oversights, and focus crews where verification shows gaps.
Turn Verification Into Targeted Action
Treeline converts flagged spans into map-based work orders with full context. Crews see exactly where cuts fell short, supervisors monitor progress in real time, and every correction is logged with GPS- and photo-based proof.
Build Defensible Records for Every Cutback
All verification results are captured in standardized, export-ready reports. From before-and-after photos to timestamped evidence, Treeline delivers a clear audit trail that reduces disputes and strengthens accountability across teams and contractors.
Don’t leave cutback verification to scattered notes and photos. Treeline gives you standardized, objective proof that work was done right, closing accountability gaps, reducing rework, and strengthening compliance defense.
Smarter Vegetation Management in Action
See how utilities are using Treeline’s satellite- and AI-powered vegetation insights to cut inspection costs, reduce wildfire risk, and improve grid reliability.
"The LiveEO technology gives us a better overview of the vegetation along our tracks. It allows us to address the consequences of climate change even better."
“Westerville Electric went with LiveEO and our outage rate in 2022 was 18%. We are now at 10%. This is the future of vegetation management!”
"The possibility to check our network with satellite images and AI as well as the strong customer focus of LiveEO have excited us from the beginning. Innovative partners like LiveEO and new technologies are an important pillar for us as a grid operator to make our network even more efficient and reliable."
