Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) review: Utility tree service

SMUD has contracted out these utility tree-trimming services in Midtown, Sacramento. Still, the tree trimming services that are contracted out for mud seem to be cutting the trees in a manner that’s not conducive to growth, so if the trees are not growing. If the trees aren't growing taller, they’re not gonna provide coverage in the summer, actually, to dissipate the heat. I need this, and they're increasingly cutting the trees where they’re not growing taller, which in summer increases my power bill so either mud has to provide a rebate basically or they have to stop cutting the trees with the way that they’re doing it because they’re not growing in the last four years the trees are being basically stunt from growing taller.

On the north side of Midtown, the trees are much taller. They’re older, but the trees have to be allowed to grow taller to provide coverage from the heat in the summer. That’s what these trees are for. They’re not to be cut and butchered away in which the utility tree service is cutting them if they can’t hire an arborist to do the job properly then they should basically find someone.
