Shady Dealins' Tree Service

About Shady Dealins' Tree Service

Fourteenmile Creek carved the sandstone gorge that runs through Charlestown State Park long before anyone lived here, and the old-growth canopy above those bluffs holds onto ice long after a storm has passed anywhere else in town. Shady Dealins' Tree Service works the properties along that wooded edge of Charlestown, where a heavy snow can bring down limbs from trees that have stood over the gorge long before the park was ever named. Clearing a driveway out here often means clearing a fallen branch first, so the crew runs saw and plow together, snow first if the branch isn't blocking anything, wood first if it is. The hills and hollows near the park hold cold air differently than the flatter streets closer to the Ohio River, so ice lingers on those shaded drives well into the afternoon some days. There's a particular kind of reward in leaving a driveway clear and a yard free of storm debris, the gorge below still holding its ice, the work above it done.
