When lake-country weather comes through, it leaves limbs across the lawn, the drive, and the path down to the water. We gather it up, take it away, and leave the place walkable again.
North central Arkansas gets it from both directions. Ice storms and straight-line winds come through in winter and early spring and take limbs out of the oaks and pines. Then spring and early summer bring thunderstorm and tornado weather, with hail and hard wind behind it. Either way what is left on the ground is much the same: broken limbs, scattered branches, pine litter, and whatever blew in from the next lot.
Around Greers Ferry Lake, a good deal of that lands on property nobody is standing on. A cabin or lake home visited every few weeks can sit under a pile of limbs until somebody makes the trip, and then the first job on arrival is clearing the drive instead of getting out on the water.
We work exteriors right around this lake, from house washing to boat dock cleaning, so storm cleanup sits alongside the seasonal leaf removal and yard cleanup we already do here.
Limbs off the lawn, the drive raked back, and the load gone when we go.
Snapped limbs and broken branches lifted off the lawn, out of the beds, off the drive, and clear of the walk down to the water.
The scatter the wind leaves behind: twigs, pine litter, bark, leaves packed into every corner, and whatever came over from the next lot.
It goes on the truck and leaves. No burn pile left in the corner of the lot for you to deal with later.
A brush pile is rarely still a brush pile by the end of the season.
Limbs left lying through a wet Arkansas spring bleach the grass underneath and leave a dead patch that takes most of the season to come back — and a mower will not go near it until somebody moves the wood.
A pile of damp limbs is exactly what snakes, wasps, and ticks are looking for. On a lake lot it usually ends up sitting right between the cabin and the walk down to the dock.
Counties around here put a burn ban on whenever it turns dry, and the ban does not lift because you have a pile waiting on it. Hauling the load off is the one option that works in any month.
Who turns up matters more than usual in the week after a storm.
Own a place you only reach every few weeks? Email photos of what came down and it can be gone before your next trip, so you turn up to a lot you can actually walk across.
The limbs leave with us. You are not left with a heap behind the shed or a pile at the roadside waiting on somebody else to collect it.
Christian Olson has worked exteriors around this lake for seven years, out of Fairfield Bay, fully insured — not a crew that followed the weather in from out of state and will be gone again next month.
We clear what is already down: limbs, broken branches, and the debris spread across your lot. Tree felling is not one of our services. If a whole tree is down across the drive, leaning on the roof, or tangled anywhere near a power line, that is a tree service or the utility first — and we will tell you so straight away rather than take the job and work it out later.
Send photos of what you are looking at and you will get an honest answer about whether it is ours to clear.
Storm and debris cleanup for the lake communities and towns around Fairfield Bay.
Storm cleanup means dragging heavy, awkward limbs across somebody's lawn, deck, and drive, which is exactly where damage happens when nobody is thinking about it. We work out how the debris is coming off the property before it starts moving, keep it off finished surfaces and planting beds wherever we can, and look at each place on its own rather than running the same routine everywhere. It is the same standard we hold on the soft-washing side, where outlets, fixtures, and vents are masked before any chemistry goes near the house.
It depends how many people are asking in that same week. After a big blow we work through in the order the photos come in. Email yours and we will tell you where you sit in the line along with the price, rather than promise you a day we cannot hold.
No. We clear what is already on the ground. Limbs, branches, and scattered debris are ours. A standing tree that needs felling, anything touching a power line, or a tree resting on the roof needs a tree service first. Send a photo and we will tell you which one you have got.
Yes, and most of the lake places we work on are empty while we are there. Photos and the address are enough for us to price it, and we will let you know once it is cleared.
It goes on the truck and off the property. No burn pile smouldering for a week, no heap behind the shed, and nothing tipped over the back boundary into the trees.
Yes. The walk down to the water and the ground around the dock usually take the worst of it, and they are the part people most want back. We are already down there for boat dock cleaning, so it is familiar ground.
Send photos of what came down and we will come back with a price to clear it and haul it away — no appointment, and no truck rolled just to look at it.
Include: your name, phone, job address, and photos of what came down.
