Hoenig Tree Service

About Hoenig Tree Service

Most mornings in the shoulder seasons, fog lies on the Mississippi at Fort Madison and the swing bridge shows up out of it a piece at a time. Hoenig Tree Service begins those days in the bluff-street yards above the river, where sycamores and silver maples get tall in the damp bottom air. Trimming here is about clearance and balance — limbs off the roof and out of the alley, weight eased on the river side of a crown that has been pushed by wind for a long time. When a line of storms crosses from Missouri and folds half a hackberry into a backyard, the driveway and the walk open first, then it is brush and wood until the lawn is bare grass again. A removal on these narrow lots means rigging over a garage and a neighbor's fence, and finishing with a swept yard and one more look at the river.
