Hackensack turns its back to the river in most places, but the trees remember it — pin oaks and honey locusts drinking from the same water that bends past the courthouse green. Portland Springs Tree Services LLC works those blocks, where a removal is a crane's worth of planning done on rope, and a mis-set cut has a parked car underneath it. Pruning lifts crowns clear of the third-floor windows off Main Street; trimming keeps the river-side yards from going dark by June. Storm damage cleanup here runs on a schedule the weather sets, in the hours after a summer cell walks up the valley. A block that looked wrecked at dawn can be swept and open again by dinner.
