Grand Lake o' the Cherokees puts Grove at the front door of the Ozark foothills — all coves, boathouses and hickory running down to the shoreline. Redline Tree Service works Delaware County lots where the trees were here first and the houses were fitted in around them. A good trim keeps a hackberry off the boathouse roof and lets evening light reach the deck without taking the woods out of the woods. Pruning is the long game: shaping a young oak so it grows away from the line instead of into it. And after the wind comes up Honey Creek and stacks limbs across the drive, the work runs until the gravel shows again.
