Baldwinsville has some of the best old trees in the county. Big front-yard maples. Oaks that were already old when the house was built.
They’re beautiful. They’re also heavy, and they’re getting older every year.
What’s going on with B’ville trees
Village streets. The older blocks around the village center have big trees in small yards. When one of those needs to come down, there’s no room to drop it. It comes down a piece at a time on ropes. That’s skilled climbing work, and it’s worth paying for.
Along the Seneca River. Riverbank trees deal with wet soil, wind down the river, and roots that sometimes don’t have much to hold onto. Leaners near the water are worth a look.
Lysander and Van Buren. Outside the village it opens up. Bigger lots, newer neighborhoods, tree lines at the back of the property. Different kind of job, same need for someone who knows what they’re doing.
The big old maple out front. Everybody in B’ville seems to have one. If it’s dropping big dead limbs, has a split in the trunk, or started leaning toward the house, don’t wait on it.

Questions people ask
Do you cover the Town of Lysander and Van Buren too?
Yes. The Village of Baldwinsville plus the surrounding parts of Lysander and Van Buren.
Can a crew save my old maple instead of cutting it down?
Sometimes. Pruning out dead wood and thinning the crown can buy a healthy old tree a lot of years. If it’s rotten or split badly, removal may be the safer call.
The tree is right next to the house with no room to drop it. Is that a problem?
Not for an experienced crew. They climb it and lower it in sections.
Is the village responsible for the tree in front of my house?
If it’s in the right-of-way, it may be. Call the village first.
