Frog Hollow wakes early, and Giron's Tree Service is usually out ahead of it — in January that means a plow blade and a bag of salt, in June a mower already warm by seven. The winter side is driveways, walks and lots taken down to blacktop before anyone has to leave the house; the green side is cutting, trimming and edging from thaw to final cleanup. Two trades, one calendar, and Elizabeth does not really hand you an off month between them. Storms here arrive off the ocean, turn to slush, then set up as ice, so timing beats muscle every single time. Come spring the same streets need mowing, and the truck simply changes what it carries.
