The storms Fountain Valley does get arrive off the Pacific in winter — a few wet fronts a year that lean hard on every tree in town. Will Tree Services spends the other months getting the trees ready for them: pruning for structure, thinning crowns so the wind can pass through instead of push, taking down what is past saving before it chooses its own moment. Then summer comes and the same trees pay everyone back in shade. There is a long conversation between a town and its canopy, and this is work done on the canopy's behalf. A tree handled well simply stands there afterward, looking like nothing happened — which is exactly the goal.
