After a severe storm rolls through Washington County, your yard often looks like a different property. Snyder's Outdoor Solutions handles storm damage cleanup end-to-end — from making the dangerous pieces safe, to cutting and removing downed trees, to hauling every last branch and chip off your lot. We show up with the right equipment for the job so you don't have to rent a chipper or haul brush yourself.
What Storm Cleanup Covers
Storm jobs vary from a single blown-down limb to an entire canopy of broken tops across a neighborhood. We scale the crew and equipment to match, and we work through a property in a clear order so nothing gets missed.
- Hazardous limb and hanger removal from above walkways, driveways, and structures
- Full removal of fallen or broken trees
- Brush and debris chipping on site
- Haul-off of logs and larger material
- Site raking and final cleanup so the yard is usable again
Common Storm Damage We Handle
Broken branches hanging in the canopy
"Widow makers" — limbs snapped but not fallen — are the biggest post-storm risk. They drop on the first gust of wind after the storm, often days later.
Uprooted or partially uprooted trees
A tree that pulled its roots out on one side is unstable even if it's still standing. It can't recover and shouldn't be left through the next weather system.
Split trunks or major limb breaks
When a major scaffold limb tears out of the trunk, the wound rarely heals properly. The tree usually has to come down for safety.
Debris piled across the yard
Wet leaves, limbs, and brush suffocate grass if left in place. Cleanup within a few days protects what's underneath.
Why Call a Crew, Not a Friend with a Chainsaw
We don't say this lightly: post-storm cleanup is when most chainsaw injuries happen. The wood is under tension, limbs are stuck in awkward positions, and one wrong cut sends something in a direction nobody predicted. We've been doing this for years, we carry the insurance if something goes sideways, and we have the equipment — chippers, grapples, bucket trucks — that turns a three-weekend project into a one-day cleanup.
"Storm cleanup looks simple from the road. It isn't. Half the limbs up there are loaded with pressure and will snap back when you cut them. Rule one is read every piece before you touch it, and rule two is don't leave a mess — the homeowner already had a bad enough week."
