We consider sunrise angles, street lighting, and facade shadows to shape cuts that improve light without stripping character. This matters in Sterling, AK where evenings are meant for porches and courtyards.

Foot traffic and parking compact soil, so we aerate, mulch, and feed roots. Healthier roots mean stronger anchoring during storms and better recovery after pruning.
