Tall pines with shallow roots in wet clay are prone to snapping or uprooting in high winds. After a storm, fences, drives, sheds and pastures can be buried under tops and trunks.
Safety comes first
Stay away from downed power lines and report them to Alabama Power or your electric co-op. Trees under tension, hung up in other trees or leaning on structures can shift without warning. Leave them for a crew with the right equipment and experience.
If a tree is on your house, contact your insurance company before cleanup starts and take photos. Your policy may cover part of the removal.
What storm cleanup involves
Crews cut downed trees into manageable pieces, pull root balls back into their holes or out of the way, and either chip, pile or haul the debris. On larger tracts, heavy equipment may push debris into windrows. Ask whether the price includes stumps, root ball holes and hauling, or only cutting and stacking.
Expect prices and wait times to rise after a major storm, when many owners call at once. A written scope helps you compare bids even in a rush.
Burning storm debris
Burning piles outside city limits generally needs an Alabama Forestry Commission permit, and burn restrictions sometimes follow dry spells. Inside Montgomery or another town, check with the city fire department or watch for curbside debris pickup announcements. Confirm the rules before lighting anything.
Frequently asked questions
Can storm damage wait until after the season?
Trees blocking drives or resting on structures should be handled quickly. Debris in a back pasture can usually wait for a better price.
Should leaning trees be taken down now?
If they threaten a building, drive or fence, often yes. See tree removal for how that work is planned.
Who clears the storm debris?
A local land clearing contractor who calls you back after your request; terms are agreed with them directly. See how it works.
