Brookfield is horse country — high hills, state forest and miles of trail — and the weather up on that height arrives well ahead of the valley's. Plows Tree Service works both halves of the year here: plowing driveways and clearing walks through the long Madison County winter, salting where the grade ices, then mowing, trimming and edging once the hills green up. Spring cleanup lifts a winter's worth of debris off the ground, and fall cleanup takes the leaves before snow pins them down. A long storm gets a second and a third visit, because a lane on this terrain can fill twice in an afternoon. Summer or winter, the measure is the same: a place you can get into, and a yard that looks kept.
