Late August in Newaygo County: the oaks over the Muskegon River back roads hold their heat, and the two-tracks toward Croton are dusty enough to see a truck coming a mile out. Quality Tree Service of West Michigan, Inc. runs those roads out of White Cloud — pruning to lift a crown off a cabin roof, tree trimming along a driveway that has closed in over time, tree removal for the pines that came up too thick to keep them all. Storms track through this county with little warning to speak of, and storm damage cleanup is the call that comes at daybreak: limbs cleared, brush gone, ground raked. What holds up afterward is the shape a tree is left in — open enough to breathe, strong enough to stand. White Cloud, Newaygo, Croton, Grant, Fremont and Big Rapids.
