Doraville's older streets run under water oaks that were planted small and are anything but now, arching over brick ranch houses a block off Buford Highway. Felipe Natural Pruning & Tree Service works those in-town lots where there is a fence one way, a driveway the other, and a neighbor's roof three feet past the drip line. Pruning is the heart of it — thinning, shaping, taking weight off a long horizontal limb — with trimming for clearance and removal when a tree has outlasted the space it stands in. Summer storms cross this corner of DeKalb County fast and mean, and afterward the yard is swept, the debris gone, the curb clear before the trucks come by. Evening light falling through a canopy that has been opened up properly makes the whole day worth it.
