Martinsville sits where the White River leaves the hills and the ground begins to flatten, with Morgan-Monroe timber standing just south of town. Martin Tree Service takes down what the river bottom eventually loosens — heavy soft maples, storm-split hackberries — and trims the rest back to something a yard can hold. Pruning is done in the cold half of the year, while the sap is down and the shape of a tree is easy to judge. Storm damage cleanup means Morgan County wind coming over the ridge and laying limbs across a driveway before breakfast; the pavement gets cleared first and the work moves outward from there. What's left behind is a swept drive and a lawn that gives away nothing about the night before.
