Hurricane Season in North Florida: June 1 Through November 30
North Florida sits in one of the most active hurricane corridors in the country. June through November, every named storm in the Gulf is a potential threat to Tallahassee and the surrounding region. Hermine, Michael, Idalia, we've responded to all of them. When a hurricane or tropical storm makes landfall or passes close, the damage comes fast: trees that looked fine for decades fail under sustained wind and saturated soil. The bigger the tree, the bigger the problem. We stay ready through the entire hurricane season so we can move the moment conditions are safe.
After the Storm: What to Do First
Stay away from downed trees, especially if they're anywhere near power lines. Even if you don't see wires, they could be tangled inside the tree. Don't try to cut up a fallen tree yourself (trees under tension can snap back unpredictably and cause serious injuries. Take photos of all the damage for insurance purposes before anything gets moved. Then call us at (850) 570-4074. We'll get you on the schedule and prioritize based on urgency) trees on structures and blocking access come first.

We start working as soon as it's safe to have crews out. Trees on houses and vehicles get priority. Then we clear access roads and driveways so people can get in and out. From there, we work through the property systematically, removing fallen trees, cutting up and hauling debris, grinding stumps if requested. We bring the heavy equipment: cranes, grapple trucks, chippers, and the crew to run all of it. We've handled cleanup after every major storm that's hit Tallahassee in recent memory.
