Forty feet up in a valley cottonwood, on rope and saddle, you can see the whole grid of Alamosa laid out and mountains standing on both rims. Limbwalker Tree Service brings that overhead view back down to ground level the rest of the year with mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups, hauling off whatever the wind tears loose. Winter turns the work to snow, plowing, walk clearing, ice chipped off the steps, usually in the still cold before sunrise when hoarfrost has furred every branch white. There is a rhythm to it: high work in the light months, low work in the dark ones, both about keeping a property in good order. And both end the same way, with the ground clean and nothing left lying around.
