Yearly on a rotating schedule the Duke Power/Asplundh tree butchers rampage via city topping and shearing bushes, robbing them of their pure magnificence, stability and well being. Such has been the case on my property.
However I’m not alone. Go searching Brevard. The harm Duke’s employed vandals do to bushes in our “Tree Metropolis” is unconscionable, pointless and unprofessional. Keep in mind the attractive row of pines that stood alongside French Broad by the faculty,and the way they had been so badly broken that they turned a hazard and needed to be lower down? Only one instance.
Duke’s chainsaw wielders don’t care and positively don’t hearken to householders who ask politely if they may trim right here and there: “I’m paid to do that job.” Loud buzz, finish of any dialog.
There’s a proper method and a mistaken strategy to trim bushes, however Duke doesn’t care. It doesn’t must as a result of it has declared itself a legislation unto its personal, one marked by conceited indifference to what’s proper in favor of what quantities solely to getting the job finished to maneuver on to the following slaughter.
Sure they’ve the best of method onto property, however that doesn’t imply they’ve the best to behave as they do with none respect for householders, property and the security of bushes. Two of mine are so badly broken that they are going to should be lower down at my expense.
After I stated “Thanks quite a bit for destroying our bushes,” the Duke/Asplundh chainsaw man replied, “I’m a licensed arborist. I went to high school.” He clearly didn’t be taught something.
I suppose that metropolis of Brevard officers can do nothing to assist protect the well being, security and great thing about our bushes, not out of indifference, however as a result of Duke Power doesn’t care and received’t pay attention.
I’m wondering how the bushes on the property of the executives of Duke Power are handled once they should be trimmed to guard energy traces? I count on that they use their monumental salaries to rent licensed professionals to do the job proper.
