On January 24 around 2PM Asplundh workers came to trim trees under the power lines on my property. I wasn't home when they arrived and when I came home they had driven past my no trespassing signs, opened my pasture gate, drove over a single strand hot wire fence and parked in the middle of my pasture. There is an easier way to access the power line than this. They shorted out my fence in the process by hooking a gate handle around a steel metal post instead of hooking it to the proper wire loop where it was originally hooked. They walked all over the place where there weren't even any power lines. They mostly just stood around in a group of three talking and smoking while one worker was cutting small trees under the lines. It took them about 1.5 hours to talk/smoke/cut trees in a small area. Most of the time it was one or two cutting and the other two watched or smoked. Then they walked around some more and went into my woods and stood for about 45 minutes (around 3:30-4:45) and talked, smoked and played in the branch. At the end of this time they walked a round about way and drove away, apparently quitting for the day. I don't mind them doing the job they are here to do, however, I do not want them moving fencing, parking in my pasture, hanging out in my property while not working etc. This is private property not a park and recreations location.
Desired outcome: ask where would I like them to park take their unusually long breaks elsewhere
