About Ohlinger Tree Trimming

The heaviest snow of a Shaw Heights year rarely comes in January. It comes in March, wet as poured cement, and the silver maples on these blocks are the first to break under it. Ohlinger Tree Trimming spends those mornings clearing what came down overnight — the split limb off the fence, the top out of the alley, the mess between the garage and the wire. The rest of the year is the work that prevents it: shortening the long horizontal limbs, taking weight off a double leader, pruning back the elms that grew up unattended along a property line. Trees past keeping get removed and the ground left raked flat. Then the Front Range goes pink behind the rooftops and the street looks better tended than it did that morning.
