Skaneateles takes its trees seriously. The village has its own Tree Advisory Board, which goes over street-tree pruning and removals one address at a time.
Your yard trees are another story. When the old maple out back starts dropping limbs, or a dead tree leans toward the house, that one’s on you.
Happens all the time. It’s fixable.
Skaneateles trees, by area
The village. Older homes and old sugar maples. The village’s own tree board has had to remove decayed and dead sugar maples along its streets. Yard maples of the same age can have the same problems.
Near the lake. Big trees on lakeside lots, often near the house, the dock, or the neighbor’s place. Not much room to drop anything, so these usually come down in sections.
The rest of the town. Bigger lots and more woods. More room to work, and more trees to keep an eye on after a storm.
What we can help with
Removals, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup. Tell us where you are and what you’ve got. We’ll schedule a crew that’s already working around Skaneateles, which can mean a quicker look and less drive time built into the quote.

Questions people ask
Do you cover the village and the Town of Skaneateles?
Yes. The Village of Skaneateles and the surrounding town.
The tree by the street in the village is dying. Is that mine to remove?
Maybe not. Trees in the village right-of-way are handled through the village. Call Village Hall first. If it’s theirs, they handle it.
My big maple has a dead top. Does it have to come down?
Not always. Sometimes the dead wood can be pruned out. If the decay goes deep, removal is the safer move. We’ll take a look and tell you straight.
Can a crew work on a tight lakeside lot?
Usually, yes. Crews climb the tree and lower it in sections when there’s no safe place to drop it.
