Describe what has fallen and where it landed
A tree across an open lawn is a different project from a tree resting on a roof, fence or vehicle. For a cleanup request, tell Sunny Days whether the material is fully on the ground, caught in another tree or touching a structure. Photos from a safe distance can help explain the setting, but the removal approach needs review before the job is accepted.
Keep the area clear first
Do not climb onto a fallen tree, stand beneath suspended branches or try to free a trunk that is under tension. Stay away from damaged or downed utility lines and contact the utility. For immediate danger to people, contact emergency services. The website estimate form is not an emergency dispatch service.
Separate removal from the finished cleanup
- Tree material: identify trunks, branches and scattered debris.
- Hauling: specify what should leave the property and what, if anything, should remain.
- Stump or root plate: mention exposed roots or a remaining stump as a separate part of the request.
- Property damage: describe damage to fencing or other features without assuming repairs are included.
Access after a storm
Tell us if the driveway is blocked, the ground is wet or the normal route into the yard is unavailable. Share the project ZIP code and preferred timing. Availability and the work scope must be confirmed; sending a request does not reserve an immediate visit.
When part of the tree is still standing
Explain whether the request also involves damaged limbs or a standing section. Removing fallen material does not establish that the remaining tree is safe. UF/IFAS guidance on storm-damaged trees discusses professional assessment and recovery decisions.
For an organized budget request, use our tree-removal estimate checklist. For material already piled for collection, see debris removal.
