What we clean up

  • Storm debris: broken limbs, hangers, whole downed trees.
  • Brush piles and yard waste.
  • Logs and wood left behind from other tree work.
  • Fallen trees in fence lines, creeks and ditches on private property.

Grapple trucks make it fast

Instead of a crew hand-carrying limbs to a trailer, our grapple trucks reach out, grab a big pile and drop it in the truck. Track loaders bring logs from the backyard without dragging them across the lawn. Smaller brush goes through the chipper. Then the crew rakes and blows off the driveway and lawn. It looks like nothing happened.

After a storm

After the big storms, we prioritize trees on houses, cars and driveways first, then move on to cleanup. If you have hanging limbs (we call them hangers) stuck up in a tree, don't stand under them and don't try to pull them down. Call us at 618-CUT-WOOD (618-288-9663). We work with your insurance company and can provide photos and an itemized invoice.

Cleanup is part of every job

On every removal and trimming job we do, cleanup is included. Brush is chipped, wood is hauled (or left for firewood if you want it) and the yard is raked.

FAQ

Debris & Storm Cleanup questions

Do you just haul debris, without tree work?

Yes. We’ll pick up and haul piles of limbs, brush and logs even if somebody else did the cutting.

Can I keep the wood chips?

Absolutely. Tell us where you want them dumped.

Is storm cleanup covered by insurance?

Debris removal is often covered when a tree damaged a covered structure. Check with your agent. We can provide what your insurer needs.

“They did such a great job! It was rainy when they came to my house and they took extra precautions and laid down boards to help lessen the tire tracks. It was really nice that all the wood was in one nice pile and out of the way! They were quick and efficient and just overall did a job well done!”

“Couldn't be happier!! The boys did a fantastic job. Cleaned up the mess. Was very polite. The price was reasonable. Was good entertainment watching the one up in the tree doing the cutting.”

“These guys were very Professional, fast Responding and Reasonably priced and that’s no lie. I would recommend them over many companies that I got estimates from. They came out, gave an estimate and did the work in less than 2 weeks. They were amazing especially since the tree was between 2 sets of power lines and they dropped it, hauled it off and cleaned up all in less than 8 hours and without disturbing traffic on a very busy road.”
