Orchard Park lives downwind of Lake Erie, which means the snow arrives sideways and the trees carry it for months at a stretch. Orchard Park Tree Service works with that in mind: tree trimming to take the sail out of a crown before the first lake-effect band sets up, pruning young street trees so their branches leave the trunk at an angle that can hold weight. When a band parks over the town and the wet snow stacks up, storm damage cleanup runs from before dawn until the driveways are open again. Tree removal is for the hollow ones and the ones grown up into the wires, and those come out limb by limb with the yard cleared the same day. By spring the woods green up over Chestnut Ridge and the yards below look the way they did before winter tested them.
