Debris removal after a hurricane: how to get a property open again

The first goal is a safe way onto the property. The haul-off comes after hanging limbs and power lines are dealt with.

Key takeaways

  • Do not run a generator in a garage, and do not touch a line or a limb on a line.
  • A blocked drive or a limb in the doorway is the first tree job.
  • Brush haul-off is the second job, once it is safe to walk the yard.
  • Do not cut hanging wood yourself. Stay clear until the crew can bring it down.

Hurricane debris in Marion County is usually oak limbs, pine, and palm fronds, on houses and on commercial lots. The order is always the same: the utility, then overhead tree service, then the pile.

Who this job is for

A fit

  • A house, office, or apartment property that needs the drive and the walks open and the brush gone.

Call someone else first

  • Wires down or arcing. The power company.
  • A tree through the roof with people inside. Get the people safe, then call us for the wood. See tree on the house.

What happens, in order

  1. 01

    Look

    Lines, hangers, then loose debris.

  2. 02

    Decide

    What has to move for access, and what can be a later haul.

  3. 03

    Do

    Bring down the agreed hazards. Load or chip the brush we said we would take.

  4. 04

    Leave

    You can use the drive and the door. A full restoration of every bed is a later maintenance visit.
