M&M Tree service

About M&M Tree service

Out toward Ocean View the wind arrives off the Chesapeake with salt still in it, and the live oaks answer by leaning inland — low, wide, stubborn about staying. M&M Tree service reads that lean before the first cut: crowns thinned so a gust can pass through instead of pushing, limbs pruned back off a Willoughby Spit rooftop, a pine taken down when its season of standing is over. After a blow crosses Hampton Roads and leaves a yard knee-deep in what used to be shade, storm damage cleanup is the plain business of hauling until the ground reappears. There is real satisfaction in a driveway swept bare by supper time and a tree left balanced enough to take the next wind. Norfolk is a city with water on three sides; the trees here earn their keep, and they get looked after like it.
