The wind is done.
The yard is not.
After a storm passes, yards fill with branches, fence remnants, blown-around belongings, and the debris that turned into hazards. Otesse hauls the yard debris and storm-blown items so homeowners, businesses, and HOAs can get back to normal — without a pile sitting on the curb for a week.
Cleanup waits on the slowest neighbor.
After a storm, every household and business on the block has a debris pile. Municipal pickup is overwhelmed. The HOA is sending notices. Insurance wants documented removal. And the pile gets bigger every time someone walks the yard. Most homeowners and HOAs need a partner who shows up before the slowest neighbor.
Yard Debris Piles
Branches, leaves, ripped vegetation, mulch displacement — yard debris stacks up fast and most municipal pickup programs throttle in the days after a storm. Piles sit on curbs for a week, attract pests, and look worse with every weather cycle.
Yard debris removal as a same-week service when capacity allows. We haul to the appropriate green-waste or compost facility. The yard is curb-ready before the next weather window, not after.
Downed Branches & Limb Drop
Downed branches range from "one person can drag" to "needs a crew." Some are still tangled with the tree. Some are blocking driveways. Cutting and loading a heavy limb is not a one-person job, and it is not a typical junk-haul scope.
Crew-scope cutting and loading on downed branches that do not require a climber or arborist. We carry chain saw and PPE for ground-level work, and refer hazardous tree work (climbing, power-line adjacent, leaning trunks) to a licensed arborist before we touch it.
Fence Remnants & Outdoor Damage
Storm-broken fence panels, snapped pickets, ripped lattice, broken outdoor furniture, blown-down umbrellas, and shed debris pile up next to the yard waste — but they are not yard waste, and they will not go in green-waste pickup.
Mixed-debris haul — we sort what goes to green-waste, what goes to construction debris, and what goes to landfill. One crew, one trip, one invoice. Property is cleared without you sorting piles.
Storm-Blown Belongings
Patio cushions, planters, kids’ toys, trampolines, signage from down the block — anything not bolted down ends up in the yard, the bushes, or the neighbor’s lot. Recovering the keepable items and disposing of the rest is its own task.
Walk-through recovery on storm-blown belongings — items you want kept get staged in a defined spot, items you want gone get loaded. We confirm scope item by item on first walk so nothing keepable goes in the truck.
Insurance-Claim Debris Removal
When debris removal is a covered line on your storm claim, your carrier wants proof — what was removed, what condition it was in, and when. Without documentation, the claim drags or short-pays.
Time-stamped photo set on every storm-debris job — before, during, and after. Itemized invoice describing what was removed and where it went. Drop straight into your claim file. We do not file the claim for you, but our paperwork is shaped to fit.
HOA & Multi-Property Coordination
After a storm, HOAs and property managers need every common area cleared at once — clubhouse grounds, shared paths, mail-cluster surrounds — and homeowners are calling about their own yards in parallel.
HOA-friendly scheduling: we sequence common-area cleanup as a single job and offer member discounts on individual yard work in the same neighborhood when capacity allows. One crew, multiple properties, one schedule.
Storm cleanup, inside our actual scope.
Yard-Debris-Grade Hauling
Truck capacity, chain saw and PPE on the truck, sort discipline for green-waste vs construction debris vs landfill. Yard cleared in one trip, not three.
Insurance-Ready Documentation
Time-stamped photo set and itemized invoice on every storm-debris job. Your claim file is complete before you ask.
Clear Scope Boundaries
We are upfront about what is in our scope (yard, debris, blown items) and what is not (water restoration, structural damage, hazardous tree work). You know who to call for what before we start.
What Sets Us Apart
Storm passed. Yard cleared this week.
Tell us your address and what is in the yard. We will quote the haul, walk it with you before we start, and clear the property so the rest of recovery can move forward.
