What is storm cleanup?
Cleanup should begin only after immediate electrical, structural, and traffic hazards are addressed. A damaged tree can remain under tension or support broken material, so conditions that look stable from the ground may still be dangerous.
When it is safe, photograph damage before work begins and confirm what your insurer or property manager requires. Emergency stabilization and full site cleanup may be quoted as separate phases.
Common reasons for the service
- Remove fallen trunks and branches after immediate hazards have been controlled.
- Clear driveways, yards, and work areas so repair or restoration can begin.
- Assess damaged trees for pruning, removal, or continued monitoring.
What to expect
- An initial hazard assessment and a work sequence based on site access and risk.
- A written scope covering cutting, hauling, chipping, and any work left for later.
- Coordination with utilities, emergency responders, insurers, or other contractors when needed.
