Sutton is ridge-road country, where the lanes follow the high ground and the biggest timber stands down in the hollows out of the wind. Cook's Tree Services LLC works both elevations — trimming the yard maples back off the eaves up top, taking down the hillside oaks that have started leaning toward a roof. Pruning here is a long game: a few right cuts on a young tree now save a removal later, and that is worth saying out loud. When ice or wind drops a crown across the drive, the storm cleanup is measured in how fast a family can get back out to the road. Afterward the yard is raked flat, the wood is out of the way, and the hills go back to being the only thing on the horizon.
