Fog pours down off Afton Mountain into Waynesboro on winter mornings and hangs in the tops of the pines until the sun finds it. Zen Tree Services works those hours with an unhurried hand: pruning that removes only what should go, tree trimming to lift limbs off a roof and out of a walkway, removal when a stem has cracked at the union and cannot be trusted through another gale. Ice off the ridge is the local hazard, and storm damage cleanup after it means brush carried out and drives opened while the gutters are still dripping. The work aims at calm — a yard where nothing overhead is worrying anybody. Under the Blue Ridge, that is a fine thing to leave behind.
