Home / Service Areas / Owego
Owego lives right on the Susquehanna, and the river is hard on its trees. We take down the big, water-loosened giants along the bank, clear what storms and floods leave behind, and prune the old shade trees through the village - then haul it all away. Tree on your house? We answer 24/7.
Yes - On the House Tree Removal serves Owego and the surrounding Tioga County area. Owego is the county seat, a historic riverfront village wrapped around the Susquehanna about twenty miles west of Binghamton. That's a quick run for our crew - and with the river, the flood history, and all those big mature trees, it's exactly the kind of work we're built for.
No tree care plan for Owego makes sense without talking about the water first. The village sits low and tight against the Susquehanna, and the flooding it's seen - the 2011 flood worst of all - put a lot of mature trees through stress they're still carrying. Saturated ground loosens roots, silt smothers them, and a tree that looked fine for years can start to lean or drop limbs long after the water's gone.
With the river right there, three jobs come up over and over in Owego - though we handle the full range of tree work too.
The huge maples and sycamores along the Susquehanna grow on ground the river keeps undercutting. We rig and lower them in sections so nothing lands on the house, the deck, or the bank below.

Learn morePruning the old shade trees around the Front Street district back off porches, sidewalks, and power lines - tight, careful work that keeps the canopy looking right and the next storm with less to grab.

It could. Flood damage doesn't always show up right away. When the Susquehanna soaks and undercuts the ground - like it did badly in 2011 - it loosens the root plate and stresses the trunk, and a tree can hold on for years before it starts to lean, lift soil at the base, or drop big limbs. If a large riverside tree is showing any of those signs, it's worth a free look before the next storm settles it for you.
