The Shiawassee River pools behind the old mill in Linden and then slips south through town, and the streets around the millpond keep a canopy of maples older than the pavement under them. Ronald's Tree Services works those yards along with the lake places out toward Loon Lake and Argentine. Pruning here is patient work — deadwood out, crossing limbs cut, the crown thinned until a summer storm can pass straight through it. Removals go over garages and gardens a piece at a time, each cut small enough to carry. And when a hard front leaves the block full of broken wood, they saw it up, chip the brush, and hand back a yard that looks looked-after.
