Townsend lies back off the marsh in McIntosh County, where longleaf gives way to the Altamaha's wide green bottom and an east wind carries a little salt with it. Pro Cut Tree Service works those pine roads and the yards under the big oaks — removals close to the house, trimming to get limbs up off a roof, pruning that clears deadwood while the tree still has plenty left in it. Down here a summer squall can push a slash pine onto a shed in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, and the cleanup is a matter of cutting it small and carrying it all out. What the crew wants at the end of a job is a yard that looks untouched except for the trouble being gone. It is honest work, and the coast keeps handing it to them.
