Hurricane Cleanup &
Landscape Restoration
Debris out · Documentation done · Landscape rebuilt
One local crew from first chainsaw cut to the last replacement palm — debris removal, downed-tree work, sod replacement, irrigation repair, and replanting, with itemized invoices and before/after photos your insurance adjuster can actually use. We're headquartered in Cape Coral and worked the Ian recovery here at home.
How We Work a Storm
Cleanup that skips straight to the chainsaws costs homeowners twice — once in the yard and again at claim time. Our sequence protects both:
Make it safe & passable
Downed trees and limbs cleared from driveways, entries, and structures first. If something is on the house or blocking an exit, it jumps the queue.
Document everything
Before/after photos and itemized invoices on every storm job — the paperwork your insurance adjuster actually asks for, produced as we work instead of reconstructed later.
Clear & haul debris
Vegetation debris cut, stacked, chipped, or hauled depending on what your city's post-storm collection is picking up — we stage to the local rules so it actually leaves your swale.
Restore the landscape
Dead turf replaced at our published $1.25/sq ft sod rate, storm-damaged beds replanted, irrigation repaired and re-pressurized, and replacement palms and trees installed with wind-smart choices this time.
Restoration Is Where Storm Crews Disappear. We Don't.
After Ian, Cape Coral and Fort Myers filled with out-of-state chainsaw crews who cut, hauled, and left. Six months later the same yards had bare dirt where turf smothered under debris piles, beds full of salt-burned shrubs, and irrigation systems crushed under wheel ruts. The cleanup was “done.” The landscape wasn't.
We're a landscaping company first, so restoration is the half of storm work we're actually built for: dead turf cut out and replaced at our published $1.25/sq ft sod rate, irrigation zones pressure-tested and repaired, beds replanted, and replacement palms and trees chosen from the species that UF/IFAS wind research shows actually survive here — planted at the right depth so they anchor instead of levering out in the next storm.
Planning ahead instead of digging out? Start with our hurricane landscape prep checklist — the pre-storm work in June is a fraction of the post-storm bill in September. The full 4-phase playbook lives in our SW Florida hurricane cleanup guide.
Hurricane Cleanup Questions
How fast can you start hurricane cleanup in Cape Coral or Fort Myers?
Existing maintenance customers and commercial contracts get priority routing — typically within about 48 hours of roads clearing. New-customer slots open as crews free up, usually within the first two weeks after a storm. Calling early matters: we batch routes by neighborhood, so getting on the list puts your street on the map.
What does hurricane cleanup cost?
Tree removal typically runs $400–$2,500 per tree depending on size and where it landed. Whole-property debris haul-off usually lands between $800 and $3,500, and most full residential cleanups total $1,500–$6,000. Every job is quoted in writing after a walk-through — never priced off the storm panic.
Do you provide documentation for insurance claims?
Yes — itemized invoices and before/after photos come standard on storm work. We document conditions before we touch anything, so your adjuster sees what the storm did, not what the cleanup left. What your policy covers is between you and your carrier; our job is making sure the paperwork doesn't cost you money.
My lawn died after sitting under storm debris and floodwater. Can it be saved?
Sometimes. St. Augustine that spent under a week smothered or briefly flooded with fresh rainwater often recovers with water and patience. Turf that sat under debris for weeks, or took saltwater flooding on a canal lot, usually doesn't — that's a sod replacement, which we install at our published $1.25/sq ft rate including removal of the dead turf.
Should I replant the same trees that just blew over?
Usually not in the same way. Post-storm replanting is the one chance to fix what the last landscape got wrong: proper planting depth, root flare exposed, wind-tolerant species, and structural pruning from year one. We plan replacements around UF/IFAS wind-resistance research — live oaks, sabal palms, and other proven survivors — instead of restocking the same failures.
