Debris Removal Services
Storm & Hurricane Tree Cleanup
High winds, snow and ice put damaging pressure on trees, causing many to topple during severe weather. Dead branches, limbs and entire trees can be scattered across your property. Our storm damage cleanup teams will visit your property, assess cleanup requirements and deploy a team to remove downed trees, limbs and debris. In addition to tree debris, we can collect and haul off other types of debris from your property to make cleanup easier on you.
Contract Storm Debris Removal
We contract with federal, state, county and municipal authorities to perform contract debris removal services. We haul tree limbs, branches, brush and vegetative materials from curbside locations and deposit at designated areas. In accordance with EPA and FEMA guidelines for debris separation, debris for pickup is to be sorted into six different categories, each of which may be picked up by a different contractor.
- Household Garbage – bagged trash, food, packaging, papers
- Construction Debris – building materials, drywall, lumber, carpet, furniture, mattresses
- Vegetative Debris – tree branches, leaves, logs, brush
- Household Hazardous Waste – oils, batteries, pesticides, paints, cleaning supplies, compressed gas
- White Goods – refrigerators, washers, dryers, freezers, air conditioners, stoves, other appliances
- Electronics – televisions, computers, radios, stereos, DVD players, phones
Stumps Leaners & Hangers Removal
We work with local authorities through government contracts to coordinate the survey and removal of stumps and hazardous trees (leaners & hangers). Leaners are trees that are leaning precariously and put people or property at risk. Hangers are limbs that hang dangerously at risk of falling.

Do you remove trees from structures?
Yes! In fact, that’s one of the main things we specialize in. Our team is uniquely trained to remove a tree that fell on your home, commercial building or other structure. We take great care to safely remove the tree while minimizing damage done to the structure itself. We can also arrange to have the structure sealed, so it’s water tight until permanent repairs can be arranged.
Do you remove non-tree debris?
Yes! When disaster strikes, it’s not uncommon for brush, branches, trees and trash to be mixed together in the mess left behind. Ask us about a total debris cleanup option for your property.
