After the Wind Drops
Broken limbs and fallen trees cut up, cleared and hauled by a local tree crew.
Storm Cleanup
North Alabama storms leave cleanup behind. The April 27, 2011 tornadoes crossed Limestone and Madison counties near Tanner, Harvest and Anderson Hills. On May 9, 2024, trees fell across downtown Huntsville, Five Points, Blossomwood, Old Town and Hampton Cove, and in May 2025 an EF2 uprooted trees near Hughes Road in west Madison County.
When a storm leaves a tree across the lawn or limbs all over the yard, Tree Removal Huntsville AL sets up a local tree crew to cut it up, clear it and haul it, and to sort the wood for chipping or hauling.
Safety First
Service Area
Storm cleanup requests come from all of these towns and the county roads between them. See every area →
A whole tree on the lawn gets cut into pieces the crew can move, the trunk sectioned and the brush dragged out.
The crew cuts the tree off the fence, shed or house and hauls it. Fixing what it broke is a separate trade.
Snapped limbs on the ground are cleared, and broken ones still hanging in the crown are cut down before they drop.
Wood and brush are sorted for chipping or hauling, because the City won't take debris from a contractor's work.
Pricing
No two storm jobs are alike, so there is no price table here. The local tree crew looks at the damage and writes down the scope and the price before work starts. The size of the tree, what it landed on, how much wood and brush has to leave and how the crew reaches it all play a part.
After a big storm, get every price in writing and don't pay in full up front, as the Alabama Attorney General advises. Door-to-door sellers in Huntsville need a city Solicitors License, so ask to see it.
A written scope and price, and time to compare. Nobody should be rushing you to sign on the lawn.
Your own limbs under 5 feet, up to 10 cubic yards, can go to the curb. A crew's wood can't, so it leaves with the crew.
Homeowner policies often help when a tree hits a covered structure. Check your policy and talk to your agent. We don't file or handle claims.
Open burning inside Huntsville needs a city permit, and burn bans can apply statewide. Chipping or hauling avoids the question.
Step by Step
Limbs you cut yourself, yes, within the rules: under 5 feet, up to 10 cubic yards at no charge, set out by 7 a.m. and away from poles, lines and utility boxes. Debris from a contractor's work is refused.
Not unless you ask. A storm often leaves a stump or a root plate behind, and stump grinding can go on the same estimate.
A split trunk, a new lean or broken limbs high in the crown can still fail. That is a tree removal or trimming job, priced the same way.
Send a few details and photos of the storm damage, and we will set up a visit from a local tree crew.
