After the wind dies down
Storm debris cleanup in Speedway, IN from our crew covers everything already on the ground after a thunderstorm: limbs cut to carrying length, branches and stripped leaves gathered from the lawn and beds, the load hauled off, and the yard mowed and checked for ruts. We don’t climb, fell standing trees or work near power lines. Those jobs go to your utility or a certified arborist.
Our storm debris cleanup in Speedway, IN gets your yard back after a thunderstorm tears through: downed limbs cut into manageable pieces, branches gathered from every corner of the lot, and the whole pile hauled away so you aren’t waiting weeks for a bulk pickup. Central Indiana’s severe-weather season runs mostly April through July, and a single line of storms can leave half the west side of Indianapolis raking twigs out of their turf the next morning.
We want to be clear about where our work stops. We handle debris that is already on the ground or can be safely reached from the ground. We do not climb, fell standing trees, remove hanging limbs caught high in a canopy, or touch anything within reach of a power line. Those jobs belong to your utility company or a certified arborist, and we’ll tell you so on the first call.
What we bring is speed on the part most tree services don’t want to bother with: the hundreds of smaller branches, the leaves and shredded twigs matted into the lawn, and the tire ruts and bare patches left behind after the heavy work is done.
After a big wind event, these are the calls we hear most often from homeowners and property managers.
Silver maples, Bradford pears and older ash trees are notorious for dropping heavy limbs across front yards in straight-line winds.
Hundreds of small sticks too big for the mower and too many to pick up by hand before the grass grows over them.
Wind pushes leaves, twigs and neighbors’ trash into corners, smothering shrubs and blocking gates.
You can’t safely mow a lawn full of sticks. Every day the grass grows taller, the next cut gets harder on the turf.
Heavy trunks, tree-service equipment and saturated clay leave compacted tracks and dead strips in the lawn.
Green leaves stripped in summer storms mat down fast in beds and can start to sour if left in the heat.
A tree crew drops the big wood and leaves. A junk hauler takes what you’ve already piled up. Our visit covers the ground-level work in between, from the first stick to the last blown-off walk.
We check the canopy for hangers, split leaders and nearby service drops, and flag anything that belongs to an arborist or the utility before a saw starts.
Wood already lying in the yard is cut on the ground into pieces two people can carry, so nothing gets dragged across wet turf.
Lawn, beds, fence lines, window wells and the strip along the street all get walked, not just the obvious pile in the middle of the yard.
Debris leaves on our load. You skip the bundling rules, the heavy-trash day and the weeks of brush sitting by the mailbox.
Wind-packed leaves come off shrubs and out of corners, gates swing again, and walks, drives and patios get blown clean.
Once the turf is clear we can cut it at your normal height, then list the ruts, crushed strips and bare soil with a repair recommendation. Before-and-after photos are yours on request.
Safety first, then the fastest route back to a mowable lawn.
Before any work starts we look up. Hanging limbs, cracked leaders and anything near service lines get flagged, and we refer those to the utility or an arborist.
Limbs lying on the lawn are cut into lengths that can be carried and loaded without dragging them across the turf.
Branches, twigs and storm-stripped leaves are collected from lawn, beds, fence lines and hardscape by hand and rake.
Debris is removed and disposed of properly, so you’re not stacking brush at the curb and waiting on a bulk pickup date.
Once the lawn is clear we can mow at your normal height and blow off walks and drives, which puts the yard back to normal quickly.
We note ruts, crushed areas and bare soil and recommend either quick topsoil repair now or seeding in the fall window.
Send a few photos or call 1-323-606-0255 — we'll look at your property and give you a clear, itemized price.

Clay soils across Marion and Hendricks counties stay soft for days after a heavy rain, so dragging limbs or driving on the lawn leaves compaction that lingers all summer. We fill ruts with screened topsoil, rake out matted debris and decide whether to seed immediately or wait.

Our quickest turnarounds are close to home in Speedway and Indianapolis, but wide-open subdivisions in Plainfield and Avon take the brunt of straight-line winds coming across the flat farmland to the west. Existing weekly lawn mowing customers are scheduled first after a storm, and many homeowners follow up with a broader spring or fall yard cleanup once the season calms down.
Storm jobs vary enormously, from a few buckets of sticks to a yard buried in maple limbs. These are the variables we look at.
We quote storm jobs for free. Text a few photos of the debris and the lot, and we can usually give you a price before we ever arrive. Call 1-323-606-0255 to get on the post-storm list.
Storm weeks bring out plenty of trucks with a chainsaw and a phone number. Here’s what you get from a crew that is still going to be mowing on your street next month.
If the job needs a climber, a bucket truck or the utility, we say so on the first call instead of attempting it. That honesty protects you, your house and our crew.
Text us pictures of the debris and the lot and we can usually price it before we arrive. Peter C. noted our service was “easy to schedule via text,” and that matters more when half the neighborhood is calling around.
Michael H. described us as “very responsive, quick.” After a storm, regular customers go first, and everyone else gets a realistic date rather than a vague promise.

I had a good vibe about this young man when I first discovered him on Nextdoor. Then, when I met him, my instincts told me he was the one. I was right. I had gone thru many before him. He has mowed my yard for the past several years and is EXCELLENT. He's very thorough, extremely reliable, pays good attention to details and we love the way he edges. I've always been very pleased with all his work and I'm very particular.

After a line of storms we start closest to home and work outward, covering storm cleanup in Wayne Township, the mature-tree streets of Ben Davis and yard debris removal in Clermont. Open subdivisions in Brownsburg catch a lot of straight-line wind too, and we schedule those as routes allow.
Our storm cleanup crews work out of Speedway and cover these nearby communities every week, plus 60+ more central Indiana service areas.
FAQ
No. Anything resting on a structure is under tension and can shift when it’s cut, which makes it a job for a certified arborist with the right rigging and insurance. Once the tree service has lifted it off and dropped it to the ground, we can come in to clean up the brush, haul debris and repair the lawn.
It depends on how widespread the storm was. After a localized cell we can often be out within a day or two. After a regional derecho, calls pile up quickly and we work through them in order, with regular customers first. Sending photos by text helps us quote and schedule faster.
Not usually. As long as gates are unlocked and pets are inside, we can work while you’re away. We’ll text before we arrive and send an update when we finish. If there are areas you want left alone, such as a garden or a stack of firewood, just let us know ahead of time.
Coverage varies widely. Some homeowner policies pay for debris removal when a tree damages a covered structure, while limbs that simply fall on the lawn often aren’t covered. Check with your agent before work begins. We provide a clear written invoice describing the work, which is helpful if you do file a claim.
After some large storms, Indianapolis runs a limited curbside collection requested through the Mayor’s Action Center, with bundling rules, a request deadline and a wait for crews. Speedway residents should check with the town. Hiring us makes sense when the debris is scattered across the whole lot, you can’t haul it to the curb yourself, or the lawn needs mowing now.
It’s a bad idea. A mower blade throws sticks hard enough to break windows and hurt anyone nearby, and hitting wood dulls or bends the blade, which then tears the grass instead of cutting it. Walk the lawn and pick up everything thicker than a pencil first, or let us clear it before the mow.
A one-day reset for your yard in spring or fall: debris pickup, bed cleanout, edging, perennial cutbacks, first or final cut, and everything hauled away.
