After a storm the yard is usually somewhere between untidy and genuinely unsafe, and the difference is not always obvious from the back door. A limb caught in a canopy, a trunk that has split but not fallen, or a tree leaning on a fence are all things that can come down later without warning.
Storm work is a different job from scheduled tree work. It is about making the property safe first, then clearing it, and it usually cannot wait for the next available slot on a maintenance calendar.
What storm cleanup covers
- Clearing downed limbs, split trunks and brush off the property
- Taking down trees that have come to rest on a roof, fence or line
- Removing hangers, so limbs caught up in a canopy that have not fallen yet
- Clearing debris off drives and walks so the property is usable again
- Hauling everything off rather than stacking it at the curb
- Raking and blowing the yard down once the heavy work is finished
How storm work runs
Call, do not use the form
Storm work is time sensitive. Calling gets you a person rather than waiting on a reply to a form.
Make it safe first
Anything hung up, leaning or resting on a structure gets dealt with before general clearing starts.
Clear and haul
Limbs, trunks and brush come off the property and the yard gets cleaned down.
What Lowcountry storms actually do to a yard
Between hurricane season and the afternoon thunderstorms that run through most of the summer, this area takes a lot of wind and a lot of water. Saturated sandy soil is a large part of the problem: ground that has taken days of rain holds root plates far less well, and trees that would ride out the wind on dry ground go over.
That is why the damage is often not where you expect. A tree that looks untouched can have lifted on one side, and a limb high in a canopy can be sitting loose where nobody can see it from the ground. Looking up before you start clearing is worth doing.

Storm Damage Clean-Up questions
How fast can you get out after a storm?
Call and we will tell you honestly. After a big storm everybody in the area is calling at once, so we prioritize anything unsafe, meaning trees on structures and hangers over places people walk.
Is a tree leaning on my roof an emergency?
Treat it as one. Do not go under it and do not try to clear around it. The weight distribution changes as soon as anything moves, and that is when people get hurt.
Do you haul the debris away?
Yes. It goes with us rather than getting stacked at the curb, unless you would rather keep the wood, in which case tell us and we will cut and stack it.
Can you help with what my insurer needs?
We can tell you what we found and what we did. We are not adjusters, so anything about a claim itself is between you and your insurer.
