What we haul

Tree debris in Tallahassee falls into a few buckets, and most homeowners deal with at least one each year - especially after summer thunderstorms or hurricane season. We handle:

Storm debris - branches, limbs, fallen trees after any storm event. We respond inside 90 minutes for active emergencies and within the same week for routine cleanup.
Tree-removal debris from another crew - if a previous tree service left a brush pile in your yard, we will haul it. No need to use the same crew that did the cutting.
Yard debris and brush piles - accumulated branches, deadfall, hedge trimmings, and stump grindings.
Job-site cleanup - post-construction or post-landscape debris.
City-pile bypass - if Tallahassee yard-waste pickup is backed up (common after storms - the city schedule sometimes runs 4-6 weeks), we get it gone now.

What we do NOT haul

We are tree-debris specialists, not a general junk removal service. We do not haul: household trash, construction debris (drywall, concrete, lumber), appliances, tires, hazardous materials, or anything that is not organic plant matter. For those, call a junk removal service like 1-800-GOT-JUNK.

Tallahassee yard-waste pickup is backed up?

After storms the city queue runs 4-6 weeks. We bypass it - same-week haul-away with insurance documentation if storm-related.

Common debris removal scenarios

Post-storm yard cleanup

After a thunderstorm or hurricane, branches and limbs scatter across yards across Tallahassee. We bring crew + dump truck + chainsaws, clear the property in 1-3 hours for a typical 1/4-acre lot, and document the work for your insurance claim if it qualifies. See our storm cleanup page for the full process.

Brush pile that has been there for months

You started clearing your back yard six months ago and the brush pile is still there. We haul it, no judgment. Typical pickup runs $250-$500 depending on volume and access.

Stump grindings cleanup

If you ground a stump (yourself or with another crew), the wood-chip pile left behind can be 5-10 cubic yards. We haul it or spread it as mulch on your property if you want it. See our stump grinding page.

Lot clearing prep

Selling raw land or prepping a lot for build? We clear brush, small trees, and existing debris in a single day. See lot clearing and land clearing.

Real estate sale prep

A messy yard tanks curb appeal. We clear yard debris fast for showings - usually scheduled within 48 hours of the call.

HOA or property manager

For HOA common areas and apartment complexes, we run scheduled debris pickup contracts. See HOA tree service and property management tree service.

How we price debris removal

Price depends on volume, access, and whether we are mid-job or hauling someone else debris.

Add-on to existing tree-removal jobOften included free

Final pricing depends on access (gated yards, narrow driveways add labor), distance (jobs more than 20 miles from Tallahassee carry a fuel surcharge), and what you want done with the debris (haul-away vs. spread-as-mulch on-site is cheaper).

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you pick up tree debris?

Routine pickups run same-week (often within 48 hours). Storm emergencies dispatch within 90 minutes - call (850) 619-0000 for active hazards.

Do I need to be home for the pickup?

No - if the debris is accessible from the street or driveway, we can complete the job without anyone home. Pay by phone or invoice after the job. Gated lots or back-yard piles do require a brief in-person walk-through.

Can the City of Tallahassee yard-waste pickup do this for free?

Yes, but with limits and delays. The city free yard-waste pickup runs on a route schedule (about every 2 weeks normally, 4-6 weeks after storms), has volume caps (typically 4-6 cubic yards), and excludes very large logs (anything over 4 inches diameter or 4 feet long usually requires a special pickup or chainsaw cutting). For volumes or sizes beyond that, paid removal is faster.

Will my insurance cover storm-debris removal?

Most homeowner policies cover removal of trees and tree debris that fell on insured structures (your home, garage, fence, driveway). Pure yard-debris from a storm is usually not covered unless it blocks access or is part of a larger covered claim. We document each job for insurance purposes if requested.

Where do you take the debris?

Tallahassee Solid Waste Management Marpan Recycling and Tomahawk Solid Waste Management facility, depending on volume and material. Some pure wood goes to local composting/mulching operations.

Do you do same-day debris removal?

Yes - same-day jobs carry a roughly 25% surcharge for crew rescheduling. Routine same-week jobs are at standard pricing.
