Our Storm Cleanup Services

When a storm hits, the damage left behind can be extensive, and the risks can be even greater. Fallen or damaged trees, limbs, or debris are under an incredible amount of tension and are more likely to shift, snap, or roll — putting anyone or anything nearby at serious risk of injury or damage. Fortunately, our storm-damage cleanup services are designed to address every aspect of tree and debris removal so that your yard is clean and beautiful once more.

Storm-Damage Cleanup in Charlotte, Lake Norman & Asheville

Cleaning up after a storm can be physically demanding, time-consuming, and even dangerous. That’s why many homeowners turn to their local professionals for storm-damage services. Our certified arborists will make sure the job is done efficiently and safely, without risking personal injury or further property damage. We can even help you with any home insurance claims you need to file in the event that the tree debris affected any covered structures on your property.

Safety Is Always a Priority

As we mentioned, the storm-damage cleanup process can be dangerous, with fallen branches and unstable trees creating hazardous situations. Instead of putting your well-being at risk, turn to Heartwood Tree Care for storm cleanup services in Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Asheville, NC. Our trained professionals have the expertise to safely remove debris, minimizing risks to you, your property, and your loved ones.

Efficient Cleanup

Storm cleanup is more hazardous than it may appear. The severe lean of trees and the random placement of debris often result in unnatural positions that create high tension due to gravity. When debris is shifted or cut, that built-up tension can be suddenly released, causing limbs to snap without warning or debris to roll in unpredictable directions. These hidden dangers make storm cleanup a job best left to trained professionals. Our crew understands the complexities of post-storm hazards and takes every precaution to ensure a safe and thorough cleanup process.

Preserve Tree Health

Instead of hastily cutting away damaged branches, we carefully assess each tree’s long-term viability. Our ISA-certified arborists then strategically prune trees to support recovery and future growth.

Prevent Further Property Damage

Unstable trees and heavy debris can lead to additional damage if not handled properly. We assess the risks and take necessary precautions to prevent weakened trees from causing harm to structures and vehicles.

Environmentally Responsible Disposal

We believe in sustainable tree care, even when it comes to cleaning up debris after a storm. For this reason, we recycle organic debris into mulch or repurpose wood whenever possible to keep your property tidy and prevent a buildup of debris in the landfill.

Do you need firewood or mulch? We can recycle debris into firewood or provide free mulch for you to use in your garden or yard — just give us a call and ask to be added to our mulch list!

We can even set aside wood to be repurposed into telephone poles, railroad ties, or packaging materials. And we frequently send wood to a local sawmill — Carolina Urban Lumber — to be transformed into beautiful custom furniture. There’s rarely a limit to the many uses of fallen branches and trees.

Help Your Tree Weather the Next Storm

Investing in preventative care can mean the difference between losing a tree in a storm and having it stand strong through the most severe weather conditions. If you want to protect your trees and your property, we’re here to help you develop a customized care plan that keeps your plants resilient year-round. The strategy may include tree pruning to reduce the risk of weak branches breaking during the storm, plant health care to help trees remain healthy from the roots up, or lightning protection to safeguard tall trees from direct strikes.

I've used Heartwood for the past 7 years at our house. Each time they handle the entire situation with professionalism - and they are fast! This particular time, our tree was in a complicated spot wedged between our property and our neighbors with multiple structures surrounding it. And yet, they came in and got it done - had to move a lot of equipment in and around the yard, but took care of the yard in the process and cleaned up (per usual). Fantastic work and that's why we keep coming back to this crew year after year.

I had Heartwood Tree Care remove 4 palm trees in my pool area. They were very adamant about making sure nothing go into the pool and covered the entire pool. They did a FANTATIC job, very professional, all the crew members were considerate and cleaned the area as if it was their own property. I have lots of trees and Heartwood Tree Care is my go to company . They did such a good job my neighbors called me to get the company that I used, THANK YOU CARLOS & HEARTWOOD CREW MEMBERS

To my surprise, Heartwood's bid on the removal of a diseased pine tree was no higher than the best I received from little guy companies. Plus, Heartwood agreed to compost rather than just dump the chips. Everyone I dealt with there performed with competence and professionalism.The crew brought all the necessary equipment to complete the job efficiently, without damage to neighboring trees, and finished with a better cleanup than I imagined possible. Very happy!

Great company, great people. Heartwood Tree Care delivered a level of service we did not know existed anymore. For each step of the process to remove a very large, very leaning tree — from supplying an estimate to diligently returning to their exact place some items from the yard we did not think to move in advance — the entire crew was thoughtful, professional, and precise. We highly recommend them.

Heartwood tree has given us excellent service for our old trees - helping us to preserve the large old walnuts , pecans, cherries, magnolias, etc. They have been very informative with everything that has been done and not recommended unnecessary services. David has been amazing with his care of all our trees and plants - I can trust him (and Heartwood) to have the best care of our yard in their plans.

I reached out to Heartwood Tree Service because I quickly realized how overwhelmed I was getting with all the conflicting information online to care for my fruit trees and ensure they do well for years to come. One of them in particular is very special to me as it was planted as a memorial tree for my father that passed and it developed black knot fungus on it only a few years after planting. I received reassurance that it will be OK as I caught it early and was given many pointers on everything from pruning to fertilizer to pest and fungal control & prevention. Tommy was very kind and helpful for me and provided a lot of info that was very specific not just regarding different trees but also regarding our region and the different issues and temperature swings we have in Western NC. I am so thankful and highly recommend Heartwood to anyone that needs some help/guidance/maintenance done! Thank you so much!!

Twenty+ Stars! “Never have we ever” received more professional, talented, responsive, honest, friendly, responsible, reliable service, period. Tommy Masters responded immediately to our recent ice storm issues (we live in a challenging microclimate). He and his team are simply beyond super stars! The project was scheduled quickly, and the work of the team (Yona, Christine, Jordan, and Todd) was simply beyond words, just like Tommy. We remain in awe and will rely upon Heartwood for all of our future tree work, forever. We have already scheduled additional complex projects with Heartwood and simply cannot recommend the Heartwood team highly enough. And, most of them are certified arborists! ALL are extremely qualified and seasoned, experienced professionals. They are the real deal! Thank you for a job very, very well done!

I wanted to write a review about the folks at Heartwood. They are very responsive and professional. They showed up and marked all the trees to remove for the estimate. The time from the onsite visit to the estimate was fast and detailed. We'll be using them in the future for sure.

What an extraordinary team. They were removing trees from the hillside behind my home yesterday and a dropped branch caused a large rock to skid and hit my vinyl siding. Yano promised to take care of it, but when he came back the same day with siding to fix it — I was blown away. That kind of responsiveness deserves recognition! A company that does seem to have their heart in what they do.

Tommy at Heartwood was great to work with. Got a quick and fair quote/consult, and they worked me into the queue to get my tree cut down within a couple weeks given there were dying branches over my roof. They were prompt, did great work, and I would absolutely use them again. I felt the price was fair and reasonable as well.

Oh man, we had a tree go down across our driveway and we couldn’t get out. Having just driven into town, we needed groceries and were stuck! I spoke with Lisa (I think), she reached out to someone who was scheduled to be in the area and promised to call me if he couldn’t come. Within an hour, Tommy was here and removed most of the stump so we could get out. He gave us a quote, recommended we address some potential problems, and the crew came and was here and gone before 5pm the same day. Saved our butts and we’re so grateful!
