DTE Electric contractors trimming trees Tree trimming helps boost reliability Crews are working throughout Detroit over the next few months to trim more than 150 miles of trees near DTE's electric service lines. This builds on our progress of already trimming more than 190 miles in Detroit this year.<


Fallen trees are responsible for nearly half the time our customers spend without power - which is why we're prioritizing tree trimming to improve your electric service.
