Media, PA--It may look like a Christmas tree farm outside of ASD - Answering Service For Directors' offices right now, but the nine new Blue Spruce trees that decorate the outside of the company's building weren't planted for the reason one might think. This year, the East Coast endured massive snow storms, an earthquake, and Hurricane Irene, causing ASD's owners to explore new landscaping options that would better protect their staff, clients and property.

In the past, ASD's lot was dotted with a row of 30-ft tall aging pine trees. During storms, these trees posed a threat to people, cars and to the company's indispensable backup generator, which is powerful enough to supply all energy needs to ASD's building in the event of a local power outage. In addition to safety concerns, ASD's owners wanted to enhance the exterior appearance of their headquarters with new trees and plant life to create a more welcoming outdoor setting.
