Clearing storm debris before it settled into the curb line
After a heavy Gulf storm rolled through Pensacola, one North Hill Preservation District homeowner called us the morning of because limbs, shingles, and damp leaves had piled along the driveway and front walk. The air still smelled like wet pine and salt, and the curb line was blocked where water had pushed debris toward the street. In a district with older homes and tight front yards, that kind of mess doesn’t just look bad — it gets in the way fast and starts drawing complaints from neighbors.
We brought in the dumpster, set it where the driveway angle allowed, and our crew loaded the debris by hand so we didn’t tear up the lawn or brick edging. We separate heavy storm wood from loose yard waste because mixed loads get bulky fast and eat up space. By the time we finished, the driveway was open again, the front walk was clear, and the homeowner had a clean path before the next round of weather moved in.
I called because the yard was buried, and by the end of the day we could actually get to the front door again.
