Flagpoles in Yonkers

Third in the state by population and a working city with it: a downtown at Getty Square, a long industrial riverfront, and hospital, school and apartment stock spread over the hills behind it. We cover Yonkers and the Westchester County area, including Getty Square and the daylighted Saw Mill River, the Hudson riverfront and the Yonkers Pier, Ludlow, Park Hill, Nodine Hill, Crestwood, Dunwoodie, Sarah Lawrence College, Untermyer Park and the Cross County corridor.

Wind here. Yonkers sits in a steep and Hudson-facing area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Yonkers is the City of Seven Hills and it means it: Park, Nodine, Ridge, Cross, Locust, Glen and Church. The ground climbs from the Hudson to over four hundred feet inside a couple of miles, so a lot here is as often a graded slope as a flat pad, and the footing is designed for the grade rather than taken off a table. That slope is also the whole of the wind story. The map does not tell the two halves of the city apart, but a pole on a west-facing shoulder above the river has the full width of the Hudson open in front of it and is sized as exposed, while a street down in a hollow behind the ridge is not. At Getty Square the Saw Mill River has been brought back up to daylight, and the ground either side of it is not the ground fifty feet away, so we set the position on site.

Most of the people who call us from Yonkers are apartment and condominium boards, school and college buildings, city facilities, hospitals and clinics, churches, veterans posts, car dealerships and riverfront redevelopment sites.
