Tree Service in Cortland County, NY

Cortland County sits where the Tioughnioga River valley opens up between steep, wooded hills. The City of Cortland and the Village of Homer hold most of the older housing stock: deep front yards, mature maples along the streets, and backyards where big trees have had a century to grow toward the house. Head south and east and the picture changes. McGraw, Marathon, Cincinnatus, Virgil and Harford are hill and farm country, with hedgerows, woodlots and long gravel drives.

That mix shapes tree work here. A removal behind a Homer porch calls for rigging and controlled sections, while a fence line in Cincinnatus calls for clearing equipment and a plan for the wood. Ash trees have been dying since emerald ash borer was found near Cortland, beech leaf disease reached the county in 2020, and strong summer storms keep testing whatever is weak. The June 2026 EF-0 tornado southwest of the city left mostly tree damage behind it.
