Storm & Hurricane Yard Cleanup in Lafayette, LA
Downed limbs, wind-shredded branches, and standing water in a clay-soil yard — we clear the debris and get your lawn stable again after a tropical storm or hurricane moves through Acadiana.
What Storm Cleanup Covers
- Downed limb and tree debris removal from the lawn and beds
- Cutting back and hauling wind-damaged or hanging branches
- Clearing debris from drains, downspouts, and low spots so water can move
- Assessing and repairing storm-damaged or washed-out sod
- Raking and removing leaf litter and small debris driven in by wind
- Priority scheduling in the days after a storm passes
Cleanup Built Around Acadiana’s Storm Season
Louisiana’s hurricane season runs officially from June 1 through November 30, and Lafayette Parish sits well within reach of Gulf storms even when a system’s landfall is miles away. In recent years, storms such as Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Delta, and Hurricane Ida have all brought tropical-storm-force winds, heavy rain, and downed limbs to Acadiana, even where the worst of the wind and surge stayed closer to the coast. A yard doesn’t need a direct hit to end up covered in branches or waterlogged for days.
Lafayette’s clay soil is already slow to drain on a normal rainy week — after a storm dumps several inches at once, low spots can hold standing water long enough to kill or thin the grass underneath if it isn’t dealt with. We clear the debris first so water has somewhere to go, then follow up on soggy or washed-out sections once the ground has had a chance to dry.
How soon after a storm can you get to my yard?
We prioritize storm cleanup requests over routine scheduling in the days after a storm. Exact timing depends on the storm’s scale and how many calls come in at once, but we move as fast as conditions allow.

On-Site Assessment
We walk the property, flag anything that needs more than a rake and mower, and confirm scope before we start.
Debris Removal & Cleanup
Limbs, branches, and storm debris cleared from the lawn, beds, and drainage paths and hauled off-site.
Follow-Up on Standing Water & Sod
Once the ground dries out, we address any lingering wet spots and reseed or patch storm-damaged sod.
Storm Cleanup FAQ
Do you handle large fallen tree limbs, or just yard debris?
We clear limbs and branches down to a manageable size for hauling. For a whole downed tree or anything tangled in power lines, we’ll point you to a tree service or utility crew and handle the yard cleanup around it.
My yard has standing water days after the storm — is that normal?
It’s common on Lafayette’s clay soil, especially in low-lying yards, but water sitting for more than a few days can start to thin or kill the grass underneath. We clear blocked drainage paths and can advise on grading if it’s a repeat problem.
Can storm-damaged sod be saved, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on how long it was underwater or covered in debris. We assess each area — some spots recover once cleared and dried out, others need patching or fresh sod.
Do I need to be on a maintenance plan to get storm cleanup?
No. Storm cleanup is available as a standalone service, though clients on a maintenance plan get priority scheduling when a storm comes through.
