When a Puget Sound windstorm rolls through, it leaves a mess and a set of hazards behind: snapped conifer limbs, downed branches across driveways and fences, debris piled against the house, and root-heaved trees leaning where they shouldn't. Our emergency storm cleanup Seattle WA service exists for exactly those hours, with crews ready around the clock to clear the danger and get your property safe and functional again.
Speed matters after a storm, but so does judgment. A limb hung up in a canopy, a partially uprooted tree, or debris tangled with a power line are not DIY situations, and rushing in without assessing them causes injuries. We arrive, size up what's stable and what's still a threat, and clear it methodically, prioritizing access, safety, and protecting the structures that survived.
We respond across Seattle and the surrounding King and Snohomish county communities, and we handle the full aftermath, from the initial hazard clearing to hauling off the debris so your yard isn't a hazard zone for the next week.
When to Call for Emergency Storm Cleanup
- Large limbs or whole trees have fallen across driveways, walks, or the yard
- Debris is blocking access to your home, garage, or exits
- A tree is leaning or partially uprooted and may come down further
- Broken branches are hung up in the canopy and could drop at any time
- Storm debris has piled against the house, fence, or vehicles
- Your property needs to be made safe fast after severe wind
What Our Storm Cleanup Includes
24/7 Emergency Dispatch
Around-the-clock response so you're not waiting days after a storm. We prioritize hazards and access and get a crew moving toward your property fast.
Hazard Assessment
Before cutting, we evaluate what's stable, what's under tension, and what's still a threat, so the cleanup is done safely rather than turning one hazard into two.
Downed Limb & Debris Clearing
We clear fallen limbs, branches, and scattered debris from driveways, walkways, roofs' reach, and yards to restore safe access and use.
Leaning & Compromised Tree Handling
Careful handling of partially uprooted or leaning trees and hung-up limbs, coordinating tree limb removal when a compromised tree needs to come down.
Property Protection
We work to protect the fences, structures, and plantings that made it through the storm while clearing the wreckage around them.
Full Debris Haul-Away
Complete removal and disposal of storm debris so your property is left clean and safe, not buried under a pile waiting for the next windstorm.

Storm Cleanup Pricing in Seattle
Emergency storm cleanup is priced by the scope of the damage, the hazards involved, and the volume of debris to clear and haul. Because no two storms leave the same mess, we assess on arrival and are upfront about what the work involves. For reference, larger cleanup visits in the Seattle area commonly run in the range of $203 to $540 and up, with major storm damage scoped individually.
- Volume and size of downed limbs, branches, and debris
- Complexity and hazard level of the material to be cleared
- Whether leaning or compromised trees require removal
- Access to the affected areas for crew and equipment
- Time of dispatch and urgency of the response
- Amount of debris requiring haul-away and disposal
- Coordination with related tree or fence repair work
Storms don't keep business hours, and neither do we. Florentino Landscaping has cleared Seattle-area properties after windstorms since 2016 as a family-owned, licensed and insured Washington company, and that local experience shows in how quickly and safely we read a chaotic post-storm scene.
When wind has left your property a hazard, call (323) 606-0255 for immediate dispatch. We'll make it safe first and clean it up completely so you can get back to normal.
24/7 Emergency Storm Damage Cleanup — Frequently Asked Questions
We run 24/7 emergency dispatch and prioritize by hazard and blocked access. During major regional windstorms demand spikes, so calling early puts you in line sooner. Reach us anytime at (323) 606-0255 and we'll get a crew moving toward you as fast as conditions allow.
Keep well clear of downed limbs, leaning trees, and anything near power lines, and keep others away too. Don't attempt to move large limbs under tension. If a line is involved, treat it as live and call your utility. Let our crew assess and handle the hazards safely.
Fall and winter bring the strongest windstorms, when saturated soils and full or shifting canopies make trees and limbs far more likely to come down. That's our busiest response season, and it's also the best time to have vulnerable trees inspected before the gales hit.
Both. We clear the immediate hazards first to make the property safe, then complete a full cleanup and haul the debris away so you're not left with a dangerous pile. We can also flag related repairs, like a damaged fence, for follow-up.
Yes. Before we start clearing, we can photograph the damage and the hazards so you have a record for your insurer, and we'll give you a clear, itemized account of the work performed. We'd rather you have that documentation than wish you'd taken it once the yard is clean. Snap your own photos too, if it's safe to do so, and check with your carrier early, since storm cleanup and tree damage are often covered depending on your policy.
