Owasco Lake sends its outlet north through Auburn, and the water pulls a line of old shade trees with it past the parks and the mill dams. Dan Lennox Tree Service LLC works that ground: tree removal on lots grown too full of pine, tree trimming and pruning to bring a crown off a roofline and back into balance. Lake wind and late-winter ice do what they do, and storm damage cleanup afterward takes the hangers out of the canopy and the brush out of the yard. The measure of a job is what you cannot see when it is over — no ruts, no scarred lawn, no wood left behind. Auburn, Owasco, Aurelius, Cayuga, Union Springs and Weedsport are the working area.
