For years, probably over a decade now, ASPLUNDH has been a mystery to me. I’ve seen their trucks, usually white or orange and gigantamous, milling around town with just ‘ASPLUNDH’ printed on them and nothing else. There’d be no phone number, no address, no slogan, no logo, no nothing! I tried searching for them via Google a couple of years ago and found nothing.
I saw a few of their trucks this morning and made a mental note to search for them via Google. Well, I just did and now I give you ASPLUNDH.com!
The company’s full name is Asplundh Tree Expert Co. and they’ve been around since 1928.
Is it ASS-Plund, by the way?

I didn’t realize it was a national company. They’ve been around here forever too and I’ve known all along what they do.
They were doing some work clearing branches from the roadsides near where my brother-in-law and sister lived. My brother-in-law approached one of the workers and said they could dump a load or two of the chips in his yard. The guy readily agreed. That way, they didn’t have to waste time going back to where ever they normally dump the stuff every time they have a full load and they got their job done quicker. My brother-in-law got all the mulch he wanted for their newly landscaped yard for free. Anyone who also wants free mulch can call their local Asplundh office and see if they might do this when their in your area.
