Tree Service in Chemung County, NY

Chemung County is where the Southern Tier opens up along the Chemung River. Elmira sits at its center, with Elmira Heights and Horseheads stretching north, Southport across the river, Big Flats spreading west over open ground, and the rural towns of Van Etten, Chemung and Catlin filling the hills. Tubbs Tree Service is based next door in Spencer, Tioga County, and has extended its service into Chemung for homeowners, landowners and property managers who want careful work on difficult trees.

The tree work here follows the landscape. Elmira’s older neighborhoods have big street maples and oaks planted generations ago, now sharing small lots with houses, garages and NYSEG service drops. River flats remember the June 1972 Agnes flood, when the Chemung crested at a record 25.2 feet and large parts of Elmira sat under several feet of water. West Elmira and the Church Street corridor saw a 2012 tornado. Out in Big Flats, new development is replacing fields and hedgerows, while Van Etten and Catlin still run to woodlots, wet ground and steep pasture.

Every job begins with a $50 on-site consultation with owner Jason Tubbs, who brings 20+ years of experience in forestry, residential tree work, and construction and property management. He walks the property, then writes an itemized plan with several levels of service to choose from. When you accept your plan, the $50 is credited to the job.
