Storm Damage Cleanup and Debris Removal

Santa Monica’s coastal climate can bring strong winds and occasional storms that leave behind broken branches and scattered debris. These can create safety risks and make your yard unusable. We arrange complete cleanup after storm damage. The crew we send clears fallen limbs, removes damaged trees, and restores your outdoor space. They don’t just remove what’s visible — they also check for hidden damage that could become a bigger problem later.

Immediate Risk Assessment and Damage Prevention

Not all tree emergencies are obvious. Sometimes a tree may look stable but has hidden cracks or root damage that can cause it to fall later. On-site evaluations identify risks before they escalate. The tree’s structure, surrounding soil, and nearby obstacles are all checked to determine the best course of action. This proactive approach helps prevent future emergencies and keeps your property secure.

Storm Damage in Santa Monica

Strong winds and heavy storms are when branches fail and trees come down. Stressed trees are most at risk: the city has reported dieback on ficus, borers attacking coral trees and leaf beetles weakening eucalyptus.

If a city street or parkway tree has fallen, report it to the City of Santa Monica through 311. If a tree is on a power line, stay well away and call the utility company or 911.

For trees on your own property, call 310-455-8250. Once the danger is dealt with, tree removal and stump grinding finish the job, and pruning can help other trees through the next storm.
