not trying to stir up any thing but how else should it look with a three 24,000 volt power lines above it, the reason you see many trees trimmed as this one has been trimmed is due to the fact that the tree owner will not let the utility company cut the tree down, I trimmed for the power company for 12 years and was a supervisor for 5 years and you would not believe the people that wouldn't let us take the trees down, as for the power lines being under ground or on the back of the property, now around here, all new developments must have the lines under ground but the main feed line can be overhead up to where it enters the development.
Most power companies are mandated by the government to keep the trees at least 6 feet from the power lines, who's fault would it be if your kid climbed a tree and got killed because some body didn't let the utility company trim the tree as needed, it would be the utility company's fault for not keep up to standard.
afwiw: I am no hack, I was trained how to trim trees the proper way, sure side trimming is ugly but it has to be done to keep the power on and the public safe or the utility company can be fined, I've been called everything from a tree raper to a tree abortionist. Most people never think of their power having anything to do with their trees and vise versa.
plain and simple, most people have no clue, trees and electricity do not mix and there are times when they do try to mix and people like me MUST trim the tree.
