What storm work actually is
After a hurricane or tropical system, lots fill with mixed timber, fence, roofing, and wet vegetation. Production depends on access, dump rules, and how much trash is in the pile.
A grapple on a track loader is the right tool for stacking and loading. A forestry mulcher is the wrong tool for shingles and metal.
How to compare recovery quotes
Ask what leaves the site, which dump takes it, and who tracks tickets. Ask what stays: stumps, root balls, and contaminated fill.
Crews that price storm work like a clean acre of standing timber will either lose money or change-order you the first afternoon.
- Separate vegetative debris from construction debris when the dump requires it.
- Photograph access and pile size before mobilization.
- Confirm whether finish rake or grade is included.
