Asplundh ----- I love you

[EJP1234]

My FIL called me on Tuesday to tell me about a backroad that the sides were just covered in bucked logs from Asplundh, and to get it quick because there was already other scroungers there loading up and the crew was still there working...

I have been making trips with the trailer non stop since then... just got back again... The early people were taking all the cookies that were up against the guardrail. There is a slight 10' incline up onto the actual right of way, no one but me has been up there... yes the easy stuff was taken that was on the actual road, but if you walk up that slight hill, probably 200-300 cords worth up there, and it's all maple and red oak...

Hello 17/18 and probably 18/19... Now it's just split and stack... then I can relax for a year or so from the scrounging.

I can almost see it in my mind's eye, but not quite; A couple pics would help.

Sometimes they deliver. They were taking down a maple a few houses down the road in February 2014 and dropped a truck full of maple next to my driveway.
They do a lot of work around here and for those who pay attention, it can pay off. I remember collecting their leftovers on the side of the road as a kid with my dad. Get as much as you can haul and enjoy the heat.

Why do they buck it so small, tree companies around here leave full logs sitting, too heavy to move.

You did ask the landowner for permission to take the wood didn't you?
