The dangerous part of storm work is what did not fall all the way. Hung limbs, cracked unions and half-uprooted trees are loaded and unpredictable. The crew that comes out clears the obvious debris, then works the standing hazards down in a controlled order rather than yanking on tangled wood. Remnants of tropical systems in late summer can drop several trees at once, so the crew prioritizes anything threatening a house or a driveway first.
| What changes | Effect on your price |
|---|---|
| Number of trees and limbs down | Storm work is priced by how much is on the ground and in the canopy, not by a single tree. |
| Hangers and split trunks | Broken limbs hung up in the canopy and trunks under tension are the dangerous, slower part of storm cleanup. |
| What sits underneath | A tree in the open is felled. One over a roof, fence, pool or power lines is lowered in sections, and that rigging is where the price moves most. |
| Emergency or after-hours | A tree already down on a structure, or storm work outside normal hours, prices above the same job scheduled ahead. |
| Access for equipment | A back yard a chipper, truck or crane cannot reach means the wood comes out by hand, which adds labour to the exact same tree. |
| Debris haul-off | Chipping and hauling the brush and wood is part of most jobs. Leaving the rounds as firewood can take a line off the price. |
