About Delaware
Delaware has no state credential for tree care, though its Department of Agriculture recommends ISA-certified arborists.1 State law requires the utility's written approval of preventive measures before work within 10 feet of lines over 600 volts.2 The state's one-call law defines excavation broadly but doesn't name stump removal.3 Your city or county in Delaware can tell you whether removing a tree needs a permit.
