As a former certified arborist, I concur.
By FAR the worst pruining jobs I ever see are those done by:
1. Home owners with good intent.
2. Asplundh with the intention circumventing our immigration and employment regulations.
I had to go through a course on the subject. The arborist who was doing the lecture was making a ton of money off these courses. Government funded...I’ll say no more.
Your going to piss off the line clearance guys with that comment.
They have sensitive feelings.🌲
