Storm and hurricane debris removal.
Coastal Georgia takes hurricanes. We’ve been part of the cleanup before, we’ll be part of it again. Branches, fence sections, water-damaged furniture, tarps — hauled in the timeline the recovery actually runs.
Hurricane cleanup is event-driven work, but it doesn’t finish in a week. The first week is tarps and emergency clearings — county crews, utility crews, and the homeowners just trying to make their houses functional. The second and third weeks are the work we run heaviest: yards full of fallen branches, fence sections leaning sideways, screened porches torn open, water-damaged furniture from flooded ground floors. The fourth and fifth weeks are the finish work — the last load, the slow yards, the families who finally have time after the immediate crisis to call somebody.
We’ve worked the cleanups across the region. The pace, the volume, and the families dealing with it aren’t abstractions to us — coastal Georgia takes hurricanes seriously, and we run this work seriously. Same-day post-storm calls are usually answered within the day; volume scheduling kicks in once the regional damage map is clear and the truck routing can be planned.
Where we do the work differently is that we don’t price storm work like commercial-grade emergency response. The customers calling us aren’t insurance adjusters; they’re neighbors. The pricing reflects what the work actually costs, not what the urgency might bear.
Storm debris splits between yard-waste routing, landfill, and curbside pickup if the county is running curbside collection on the schedule. We coordinate with what the county is doing so customers don’t pay for hauling that the county would have collected from the curb.
Who calls us
Who we run this work for.
Homeowners with yards full of fallen branches, palms down across fences, debris from neighbors’ trees that ended up on their property. The work runs from a quarter-truck to multi-truck loads depending on the storm track and the property’s tree cover.
Insurance-claim customers needing the debris cleared so the adjuster, the contractor, or the photographer can get to the actual damage. Documentation matters here — we send before-and-after photos when the customer needs them for the claim file.
HOAs and property managers after a regional storm event. Common-area cleanup at the entrance, damage to community amenities, downed trees on community walking paths. Different invoicing, often coordinated with multiple HOA decision-makers.
Homeowners with water-damaged interior loss — flood waters into ground floors, ruined carpet, sheetrock, lower cabinets, kitchen appliances. Storm cleanup blends into construction-debris work for these calls; we route the load through the right channel either way.
The customer who finally has time, two weeks after the storm. The immediate crisis is over, the family is back to work, and the back yard still looks like the storm just hit. That call is normal in week three. We don’t rush families through it.
How we do it
From the call to the haul.
On-site walkthrough is the standard for storm work because volume is impossible to estimate over the phone after a real storm. Free, no obligation. Photos help for partial estimates, but most storm jobs benefit from a five-minute look.
We arrive with a two-or-three-person crew, a truck, gloves, and chainsaws when the call says branches over six inches. Small branches, leaves, palm fronds, and yard debris go in the standard load. Larger branches get cut to truck-bed length on site. Fence sections, ruined patio furniture, and debris that landed on the property all ride in the same load.
Multi-trip jobs are scheduled in waves. First trip clears the urgent and the heaviest; subsequent trips handle the slower-paced finish work. Customers in active recovery often want the work spread across days, not pressed into a single visit. We move at the pace the family is moving.

Pricing
How pricing works on these jobs.
Storm-debris pricing scales with volume and weight. A quarter-truck of branches and yard debris is the lightest version. A whole-yard cleanup with fence sections, water-damaged furniture, and downed limbs is a multi-load job priced as such.
We don’t charge emergency-response premiums. Storm work is priced the same way the rest of our work is priced — volume, weight, access, disposal route. The customers calling after a storm are neighbors, not insurance carriers.
Coordination with curbside pickup matters. Some Glynn County and McIntosh County storm responses include county-funded curbside collection of yard debris on a defined schedule; we’ll tell customers when the county is planning to come through so they aren’t paying us for hauling the county would have done. Honest answers cost us a load and earn the next one.
