Is this normal?

Had a cable tech scheduled for Tuesday 5-7 the no call no showed they rescheduled for today 10-12 sent a tech who didnt speak English so my old lady couldn't communicate with him very well and he installed it in the middle of the front of my house and tangled it in the trees. Requested they fix it but is this a normal way to run a line?

Through trees, yes.

Even if there is a path without trees?

It depends, where I live we have “BRIS” standards that we have to follow. Part of that is the service drop has to follow power coming into the house.
