Every October the streets around the Mount Sterling courthouse fill up for Court Day, and the big shade trees on the square hold the whole crowd in a cool ring. Farmer's Professional Tree Care spends the rest of the calendar keeping trees like those in condition — pruning out deadwood before it drops, tree trimming that clears a limb off a roof or a service drop, tree removal when a tree along Slate Creek has gone past saving. Montgomery County sits right where the bluegrass buckles up into the Appalachian foothills, and the wind that comes over that rise can take the top out of a hackberry in one gust. Storm damage cleanup starts early on those days and ends with the lawn raked and the driveway usable before supper. The satisfying part is the after: a yard that looks wider and lighter than it did at breakfast.
