Asplundh Tree Expert Co

This is a good company when it comes to getting the job done, they have the man power, trucks and tools. If I had to go this again, find a company to cut down a couple of pine tree and thin out a medium sized oak tree, Asplundh would be among those I would again consider. On the down side, they are on the very expensive side compared to several tree service companies I called. There are a couple of issues Id like to see some change, Asplundh is the company that does tree work for OUC. They bring in the teams of 2 to 3 trucks, with all the equipment needed to trim away from power lines. the problem I see is they maim the trees, especially the big oaks, cutting off huge branches they dont appear to be a problem, in residential areas, where having big oak trees is part of what makes the neighborhood look nice, then on other trees, that stand along the road ways where its needed most, they cut just a few twiggy branches that will inevitably grow back in no time. The mulch they generate, gets taken to the landfill, where it can be given away to home owners. Tons of mulch just thrown away.Some would give reasons why that mulch should not used, ( some one always has an opposing view), the only one I have heard that has some merit it would be introduction of termites. For that all it takes is to spray the mulch with insecticide the day it gets brought in, no different from untreated mulch you buy in the store.
