The removal of dead or dangerous trees along public thorofares is a priority for every community. Eliminating deadwood, keeping municipal utility lines clear of branches, and correctly pruning young trees is equally important in minimizing liability and maintaining a healthy, attractive urban forest. In order to achieve these goals, it takes knowledgeable tree care professionals with the necessary experience to complete the job safely and efficiently.

Since time, labor, and equipment are costly, thorough training and competent supervision are musts. If an untrained crew causes a power outage, or damage to a person and property, your municipality may be liable.

One call to the Asplundh Municipal Division can eliminate the costs and problems associated with purchasing and maintaining specialized equipment, providing technical and safety training for crew personnel. This can help minimize your liability for work-related injury or property damage. In addition, we can assist municipal foresters in:

• developing tree maintenance programs and writing contract specifications

• presenting workshops for both Asplundh and municipal crews on various industry-related topics

• providing public relations support on tree related issues

• acting as a resource of information on professional standards and industry trends

As part of the world’s largest vegetation control company, we draw on more than a century of experience in urban tree maintenance. By using local workers under the direction of our experienced supervisors, and drawing on our extensive fleet of specialized equipment, it is our goal to provide public agencies with the most reliable, efficient, and professional service at the lowest price possible.
