Are you cutting down a tree to gather firewood for the upcoming season? Be sure to contact OHIO811! When cutting down a tree, it's important to trim the branches beforehand. If the branches are left uncut and the tree falls, they can penetrate the ground and cause damage to underground utilities. ? #OHIO811 #homeowners #contractors #damageprevention #contactbeforeyoudig #811beforeyoudig #everydigeverytime?
