On a July morning the fog comes in off Great Peconic Bay and hangs in the oaks until the sun over Meschutt burns it loose. PrimeCare Tree Service starts its day in that grey hour, ladders damp, the bay road still empty. Tree trimming and pruning are the summer work here, lifting a canopy off a cottage roof and thinning storm-heavy limbs while the wood is still limber. Tree removal comes when a tree has finished its long argument with the sand and the wind, and the kindest thing left to give a yard is open ground. After the August thunder that builds fast over the Shinnecock Hills, storm damage cleanup puts the driveway, the fence line and the porch steps back the way the family left them.
