Work in Riverdale starts early, before Broadway fills and while the Van Cortlandt oaks still hold the night's cool. AFFORDABLE Tree Service Bronx, NYC uses that hour for the hard part — setting lines, easing a dead limb into a rope instead of onto a parked car, keeping a whole block's parking out of the equation. Spring in the north Bronx is a race: everything leafs out at once, and a crown that looked open in March is suddenly pressing on gutters and shading a garden that needs the sun. Pruning is the fix more often than removal, and saying so is part of the job. After a hard blow off the Hudson, cleanup means the wood at the curb by evening and a sidewalk you can push a stroller down.
