Service Overview
Storm cleanup involves the complete removal and disposal of storm-damaged trees, branches, and debris from your property following severe weather events. This specialized service goes beyond regular tree maintenance, requiring expertise in safely handling unstable trees, emergency situations, and large-scale debris removal.
Our storm cleanup services include:
- Fallen tree removal from structures, driveways, and yards
- Hanging branch removal that poses immediate danger
- Debris clearing and hauling from your entire property
- Emergency tree stabilization to prevent further damage
- Stump grinding of storm-damaged trees
- Property assessment for additional hazards or damage
- Complete site cleanup leaving your property clear and safe
Florida’s weather patterns bring intense storms, especially during hurricane season from June through November. Our team understands the unique challenges Central Florida properties face and responds with the equipment, expertise, and efficiency needed to handle storm damage of any scale.
Understanding Storm Damage Problems
The Physical Damage
Storm damage creates immediate and serious problems for property owners. Fallen trees can block access to your home, damage roofs and structures, or bring down power lines. Large branches hanging precariously overhead threaten anyone who walks beneath them. Scattered debris across your yard creates tripping hazards and prevents normal use of your property. Without professional removal, these hazards continue to pose risks long after the storm passes.
The Emotional Impact
Seeing your property damaged by a storm is overwhelming and stressful. The uncertainty of how to handle the cleanup, concerns about costs, and worry about additional damage create anxiety during an already difficult time. You need your property safe and functional again, but the scope of work feels daunting. You want professionals who respond quickly, work safely, and restore peace of mind along with your property.
Why Quick Response Matters
Delaying storm cleanup allows minor damage to become major problems. Trees leaning against structures can shift and cause additional damage. Debris left in place prevents insurance adjusters from properly assessing damage. Blocked driveways and walkways disrupt daily life and business operations. Professional storm cleanup protects your property from further harm while allowing you to move forward with repairs and recovery.
Our Storm Cleanup Process
Step 1: Emergency Assessment
When you contact us for storm cleanup, we respond quickly to assess the damage and identify immediate hazards. Our team evaluates fallen trees, hanging branches, structural risks, and property access issues. We prioritize safety concerns and develop a comprehensive cleanup plan tailored to your specific situation.
Step 2: Hazard Mitigation
We begin by addressing the most dangerous elements first—trees on structures, hanging branches, or debris blocking critical access points. Our team uses specialized equipment and proven techniques to safely remove hazards without causing additional damage to your property.
Step 3: Complete Debris Removal
Once immediate dangers are addressed, we systematically clear all storm debris from your property. This includes removing fallen trees, cutting and hauling branches, and clearing scattered debris from your yard, driveway, and landscaping areas.
Step 4: Stump Grinding and Site Restoration
For trees that must be removed completely, we grind stumps below ground level and fill the area with soil. We ensure your property is left clean, level, and ready for any necessary repairs or landscaping restoration.
Step 5: Final Inspection and Cleanup
Before completing the job, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure all debris is removed and no hazards remain. We rake and clean the work area, leaving your property as clean as possible given the circumstances.
Storm Cleanup Service Options
Emergency Storm Response
Available 24/7, our emergency storm response service addresses immediate hazards following severe weather. We prioritize dangerous situations like trees on structures, blocked access, or hanging branches threatening property or safety. This service focuses on rapid response to make your property safe and accessible.
Complete Property Storm Cleanup
Our comprehensive storm cleanup service handles all debris removal across your entire property. Beyond addressing immediate hazards, we clear all fallen branches, scattered debris, and storm-damaged vegetation. This thorough approach restores your property to pre-storm condition.
Pre-Storm Preparation Services
Before hurricane season or ahead of predicted severe weather, we offer preventative services to minimize potential storm damage. This includes trimming dead or weak branches, removing hazardous trees, and securing vulnerable trees. Proactive preparation significantly reduces storm damage risk.
Commercial Storm Cleanup
For business properties, HOAs, and commercial facilities, we provide large-scale storm cleanup services that restore safe access and professional appearance quickly. We understand the importance of minimizing business disruption and can coordinate with property managers and insurance companies.
Benefits of Professional Storm Cleanup
Safety First
Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable and dangerous. Professionals have the training, equipment, and experience to safely handle unstable trees, hanging branches, and debris removal without risking injury or additional property damage.
Fast Property Recovery
Our efficient team and specialized equipment allow us to clear storm damage much faster than attempting cleanup yourself. Quick professional service means faster return to normalcy and reduced disruption to your daily life or business operations.
Proper Debris Disposal
We handle all debris hauling and disposal, saving you multiple trips to disposal facilities and the challenge of managing large volumes of storm debris. Our service includes complete cleanup, not just cutting and leaving debris behind.
Insurance Documentation Support
We can provide detailed documentation of storm damage and cleanup work, which often proves valuable for insurance claims. Our professional assessment helps ensure you receive appropriate coverage for storm damage.
Prevents Further Damage
Quick professional cleanup prevents secondary damage that can occur when storm debris is left in place. Removing trees from structures, clearing drainage areas, and eliminating hazards protects your property from additional harm.
Complete Property Restoration
Beyond just removing debris, we restore your property to a clean, safe, and usable condition. Stump grinding, site cleanup, and attention to detail ensure your property looks its best after the storm.
How to Know When Storm Cleanup Service is Needed
Immediate Emergency Situations
Call for emergency storm cleanup service immediately if you experience:
- Trees or large branches fallen on your home, garage, or other structures
- Trees blocking driveways, roads, or emergency access to your property
- Hanging or partially fallen branches that could fall at any time
- Trees or branches in contact with power lines
- Trees leaning dangerously against structures or other trees
- Storm damage creating immediate safety hazards for people or property
These situations require professional intervention as soon as possible to prevent injuries and additional property damage.
Non-Emergency Storm Cleanup Needs
Schedule storm cleanup service within 24-48 hours for:
- Multiple fallen branches scattered across your property
- Trees uprooted in your yard (not on structures)
- Significant debris accumulation from severe weather
- Damaged trees that are structurally compromised but not immediately threatening
- Storm damage affecting property appearance or functionality
- Debris blocking landscaping, fences, or outdoor amenities
While not immediate emergencies, these situations benefit from prompt professional attention to prevent complications and restore your property.
Pre-Storm Preparation Indicators
Consider preventative storm preparation services if you notice:
- Dead or dying trees on your property
- Trees with large dead branches in the canopy
- Trees leaning significantly or with visible root damage
- Overgrown branches extending over your roof or power lines
- Trees with visible decay, cracks, or structural weakness
- Previous storm damage that was never fully addressed
Addressing these issues before severe weather arrives significantly reduces the likelihood of storm damage to your property.
Property-Specific Risk Factors
Your property may have increased storm cleanup needs if:
- You have many mature trees near structures
- Your property experienced damage in previous storms
- You’ve noticed trees or branches touching your roof
- Trees on your property are species known for storm vulnerability
- Your area is prone to hurricanes, tropical storms, or severe thunderstorms
- You haven’t had professional tree assessment in several years
Cost vs. Consequence Considerations
Delaying storm cleanup can lead to:
- Additional structural damage from trees left against buildings
- Pest infestations in fallen trees and debris
- Mold and water damage if debris blocks drainage
- Reduced insurance coverage if cleanup is delayed
- Safety hazards for family, visitors, or employees
- Property value reduction and neighborhood code violations
Professional storm cleanup protects your investment and prevents these escalating problems. The cost of prompt cleanup is typically far less than the consequences of delayed action.

Storm Cleanup Pricing and Value
Storm cleanup costs vary based on the extent of damage, number of trees involved, accessibility, and complexity of the work required. Every storm situation is unique, which is why we provide customized estimates based on your specific needs.
Factors That Influence Storm Cleanup Pricing:
Extent of Damage
The number of fallen trees, volume of debris, and severity of damage directly impact cleanup costs. A single fallen tree requires less time and resources than multiple trees and extensive debris across a large property.
Tree Size and Location
Larger trees require more equipment, time, and labor to remove safely. Trees fallen on structures, near power lines, or in difficult-to-access areas require specialized techniques and equipment, affecting pricing.
Accessibility
Easy access to damaged areas allows for efficient cleanup. Limited access requiring hand-carrying debris or special equipment positioning increases labor time and costs.
Debris Disposal Volume
The amount of debris requiring hauling and disposal impacts pricing. Larger volumes mean more trips and disposal fees.
Urgency and Timing
Emergency storm cleanup during or immediately after severe weather may involve premium pricing due to high demand and 24/7 response requirements. Non-emergency cleanup scheduled during normal business hours typically costs less.
Additional Services Needed
Stump grinding, extensive site cleanup, or coordination with insurance companies may add to the base cleanup cost but provide comprehensive property restoration.
Our Value Commitment
While we can’t provide exact pricing without assessing your specific situation, we commit to:
- Free, no-obligation estimates for non-emergency storm cleanup
- Transparent pricing with clear explanations of all costs
- Competitive rates that reflect our experience and quality
- No hidden fees or surprise charges
- Value-focused service that prioritizes your needs and budget
Investment Protection
Professional storm cleanup protects your property investment by:
- Preventing additional damage from delayed cleanup
- Supporting insurance claims with proper documentation
- Restoring property value and curb appeal
- Eliminating safety hazards and liability risks
- Providing peace of mind during stressful recovery
The cost of professional storm cleanup is minimal compared to the potential costs of delayed action, additional property damage, or safety incidents.
