What is storm cleanup?
Storm cleanup is the emergency removal of downed trees, hanging limbs, and debris after wind, hail, or heavy snow. Garrett Tree Service stabilizes the hazard first, removes broken and hanging material, and hauls the debris off so your property is safe and usable again.
Front Range storms break trees in predictable ways: wet spring snow loads unpruned canopies until unions split, and high wind takes out trees with compromised roots. What's left behind — hangers, split leaders, cracked trunks — is the dangerous part, and it needs a crew with rigging, not a homeowner with a ladder.
Who needs storm cleanup?
- Trees or large limbs down on a roof, fence, vehicle, or driveway
- Hanging limbs suspended in a canopy after wind or heavy snow
- Split trunks and cracked unions that could fail with the next gust
- Yards full of debris after a hail or wind event
How the work actually goes
Every storm cleanup job follows the same four steps so there are no surprises on price, schedule, or cleanup.
- 01
Hazard first
We identify what could still fall and secure or remove it before anything else.
- 02
Controlled removal
Downed and hanging material rigged out without adding damage to the structure below.
- 03
Debris haul-off
Brush chipped, wood removed, drive and walkways cleared.
- 04
Damage assessment
We flag the trees that are now structurally compromised so you're not surprised next storm.
What affects the cost of storm cleanup?
We quote a fixed scope in writing after seeing the tree. These are the factors that move the number up or down.
- How much material is down and where it landed
- Whether a crane or lift is needed to get weight off a structure
- Access — a backyard tree over a fence is slower than a front-yard drop
- Volume of debris hauled versus chipped on site
