The Chemung runs straight through the middle of Elmira with the hills standing up on both sides of it, so weather here funnels rather than passes. Affordable Tree Removal works the streets that climb away from the river, where silver maples planted for quick shade a long time ago now let a limb go every time it blows hard. Removal is the heart of the day — sectioning a big trunk down between a garage and a fence line until nothing is left but a flat cut and a swept lawn. Pruning takes the crossing and dying limbs out before they choose their own way down, and trimming holds the rest back off the roof. After a river-valley storm, cleanup means the branches gone and the drive usable again by supper.
