Storm cleanup and lot clearing in Palm Coast
Trees on roofs and pool cages removed any hour of the night, hanging limbs down before they fall, driveways opened — and selective lot clearing for builds, pools and additions with the permit paperwork done.
Flagler County has been hit by Matthew, Irma, Ian, Nicole and Milton in nine years, and every one of them put pines through lanais and oaks on roofs from the Hammock to Seminole Woods. The first hours after a storm matter: a tarp under the tree, the tree off the structure, the hanging limbs down before the next gust. We run emergency crews through every named storm, and we answer the phone at 2 AM to prove it.
We also do the calmer version of the same work — lot clearing. Palm Coast still has thousands of wooded infill lots, and clearing one for a house, a pool or an addition means a city tree removal permit, a survey of what has to stay, and a crew that can mulch palmetto and pine without destroying the oaks you want to keep. We handle the permit and the selective work, and we'll tell you honestly what the city will and won't let you take.

Questions we get about storm cleanup & lot clearing
A tree is on my roof right now. What do I do?
Stay out of the rooms under it, call us, and we'll get a crew moving. We'll remove the tree, coordinate a tarp with a roofer if you don't have one, and photograph everything for your insurance before we cut.
Does insurance cover tree removal after a storm?
Usually, if the tree damaged a covered structure — the house, the pool enclosure, a fence, the driveway. A tree that simply fell in the yard often isn't covered. We document either way and give you the itemized invoice carriers want.
Can I clear my lot to build in Palm Coast?
Yes, with a city land-clearing / tree removal permit and a tree survey showing what's on the lot. The city protects trees over six inches and expects you to keep or replace some of them. We handle the survey and permit and clear selectively so you keep the good oaks.
How long does lot clearing take?
A wooded quarter-acre lot in Palm Coast is usually one to two days once the permit is in hand. Permits take two to four weeks.
Do you handle FEMA debris after a hurricane?
We stage storm debris at the curb to the county's specifications so the FEMA contractors pick it up, which saves you the haul-off cost. When the county isn't collecting, we haul it.
