Kalamazoo grew up around a river and a creek, and the streets fanning out from Bronson Park still run beneath a roof of old oak and sycamore. Juan's Tree Removal LLC works those blocks, along with the newer yards out toward Oshtemo where the soil goes to sand and a maple keeps its roots shallow. A removal downtown is a puzzle of parked cars, porches and power drops, and it gets solved slowly, one section at a time, with the sidewalk swept when it is done. Trimming lifts a canopy off the roof and back from the alley, while pruning takes the dead limbs before they come down on their own schedule. When a line of storms comes up the river valley and leaves the neighborhood full of wood, they take it apart and carry it off, block by block.
