Village lots here are tight, and that's the whole job in a sentence. West Church, South Main, Perrin — narrow streets, mature tree lawns, driveways you can't back a chipper down without folding a mirror. Along the canal it's silver maples and willows, and those shed big. A silver maple with a co-dominant stem will let go in a wet snow and take a garage roof with it, so we'd rather look at it in October than in February.
Out in Perinton the lots open up. Turk Hill, Ayrault, Whitney — room to set a crane, plus the drumlin ridges east of town where wind comes over the top and finds the weak leaders first.
Working around the canal, the lift bridge and village streets
Can you get equipment into a narrow village lot?
Usually, yes. We size the approach first — gate width, overhead lines, whether the truck can sit on the street without blocking the lane. Where nothing fits, we climb it and rig it down in pieces.
Do I have to deal with the brush afterwards?
No. Village DPW picks up brush residents cut themselves, but contractor debris isn't their problem — ours leaves with the crew, chips and wood both, unless you want the rounds kept for firewood.
