October is the hinge month in Summit County: the aspen let go, the ground stiffens overnight, and the first serious storm is already forming somewhere west. Summit County Tree Care handles tree pruning, hazard and dead-tree removal, limbing for clearance, brush cleanup and lawn maintenance, then turns to snow plowing, shoveling and walkway clearing for the winter. Deadwood taken out in fall is deadwood that doesn't come through a roof in January under a wet load. Once the snow starts, the same properties get plowed and the same paths get opened back up. Two kinds of work on one set of driveways, and the same eye for what the mountain is about to do next.
