We moved into our house a few months ago and have been working through the horribly maintained yard and cleaning it up. What would be the best way to remove all the vines around these cables?
I would hire a certified arborist to do this. I do a lot of landscaping and yard work, but even I wouldn’t want to tackle this.

Call your power company. Do not try this yourself.

This is a job for the electric or telephone company’s right of way crew

Call a professional. Electrocution is one of few things that lasts forever.

If you get tired of waiting for the utility, spray some cheetah pro on it.

Cut the bottom and you’d be surprised how fast to dry up and fall off …

If its the lines that run to your house, you are responsible. If it’s the transmission line that runs behind your house call the power company they will take care of it.

Well if doing the work by yourself, it’s just like walking on the moon. One small step at a time, one branch at a time

The power company is responsible for that.

Call the power company.
Looks like the line that the bundle drapes over is a secondary power line.

These cables may be simply data line cables.. seems like ones wrapped by branches are too low to be power

When it comes to power lines. The electric company should take care of that because where I live in Missouri the electricity company does.

Here where I live we have Oriental bittersweet that is highly invasive and not native. If you cut it you would think it kills it. Oh no, the roots take off and start growing. According to Google you need to apply a concentrated herbicide on the cuttings. And we know about the effects of roundup. Contact your cooperative extension and good luck.

You don’t. Cut what you can on the ground and call whoever owns the wires

Cut it off at the ground and let nature take its course.

The power lines are up much higher than your trees, those black lines in your trees belong to the phone company and they will absolutely not come out and trim them. They don’t care if trees are touching or even leaning on and being supported by their lines. It’s easier and cheaper for them to just reconnect the lines if they get taken out by a fallen tree. You need to pay someone to do that, or just live with it until they take out the phone line. Even then, phone company will leave the tree and just reconnect their line around it. Ask me how I know.
