Storm debris from a tidy yard turned into a real mess
The Challenge
After a hard storm rolled through Highland Terrace, one homeowner called us with limbs, torn fence panels, and shingles scattered across the driveway. The air still smelled wet, and the pile kept growing as they dragged debris off the lawn by hand. We remembered Hurricane Jeanne and what that kind of cleanup feels like when the yard looks fine from the street but the back corner tells a different story. They needed room fast, because every trip to the curb meant more time in the mess and more risk of a twisted ankle.
The Result
We dropped a dumpster where it fit cleanly beside the driveway and kept the placement tight so the family could still get in and out without a shuffle. Our crew walked the load with them, stacking the heavier wood first and tossing the loose roofing cleanly on top. We loaded it so they didn’t have to double-handle anything, and we hauled it off once the pile was down to bare concrete. By the end, the yard looked workable again and the homeowner got back to normal without staring at storm debris all week.
I stopped worrying about the pile the minute your dumpster hit the driveway, and that was a huge relief.
