I love these 2 trees this time of yr....

[SawGarage]

...Even though Asplundh was hired by National Grid (as 'professional' arborists) to come in and HACK my tree up around the powerlines!!

I'm to PI$$ED to even show the ULTRA-unbalanced look from the streetside, or the huge injustice they did to this beautiful (Japansese Red Maple?? i think?)) tree....

anyway, i dunno if the pics do justice. but...:

it's late in foliage season now, most ALL maples have shed 100%, these are nice to look at

Can't tell from the pics where they hacked/cut? Looks like everything is still going near the lines? That was after they were there then>?

That is because they don't get paid to beautify trees. They get paid for line clearing but some do better work than others. I have been on the flip side and the real problem is wrong tree , wrong spot or planting issues:monkey:

Aspabloom??

I remember the orange. I could communicate with them then

they just need to leave my 50+ yr old tree alone!! or move the lines to the other side of the road.!! lol. Neighbor across the street lets his trees dead-fall anyway.

The HOLLOW they made is crazy...and this was last yr...

I understand but the tree was planted in the wrong spot The tree crews got to my gate and found their key did not fit lol they told the neighbor the were going to cut the lock and my neighbor told them they better not lmfao. He gave them my number and he said we need to get in to trim and I said no, your not touching my property he argued a bit and I told him he would soon hear from his boss. I talked with his boss and told him I can and will trim the trees on my property and informed him how long I have trimmed for power and that his crew was mentioning cutting my locks and they were gone before I could get home lol. Neighbor said they packed up about five minutes after my call!

With that said, I guess the house is in the wrong spot too, as the tree branches are 3 feet from the porch! lol

I think the guy has a ligitmate gripe. They could have taken the wires away instead of cutting the tree back.

Sure thats right so here is the deal if he pays for the move material and labor likely around 7k as the poles are 6 bones a piece then added guys and whatever else including row easement etc. I always figured the power company should just say fine we won't touch your trees and just cut the powerline off to their house:hmm3grin2orange:
