I got lucky last week and just happenned to be home when Asplund came through the neighborhood clearing the backyard line... They brought what was called a super crew, two ten amn crews... Two white guys as general foreman and all the rest Mexicans... hard workers... Every one with a throwball and line and an echo 3000 saw. They were hip thrusting everything on a blake hitch....
I have three 85' oaks in the backyard that are suffering from old butchery, spikes, and heavy salt fertilization of the turf.... Big Jon pruned a couple of them last year just before Isabel came through... I told them to remove rather than clip a few pine limbs. I didn't think they were going after the oaks cause it seemed like they had plenty of clearance.... Turns out they wanted 15' on the oaks... So a climber walks up and drops a set of hooks on the ground next to us. I said no way... no one climbs the oaks... had to sign a paper... they were Ok with that and later assured me "Oh no, he wasn't going to spike the oaks"....
Ya right.......
