Morning on the Rondout comes in slow, the tide creek breathing fog up over the bluestone sidewalks along the Strand. Cut and Run Tree Service works the Kingston blocks where old maples lean out over brick and the river wind finds every tired limb. In yards that size, removal is a piece-by-piece job, lowered and stacked rather than dropped. Trimming and pruning open a crown until light reaches the garden underneath again. And when a squall runs up the Hudson and lays half a silver maple across the sidewalk, storm damage cleanup means the wood gone, the walk swept, the block looking like the night never happened.
