Separate hazardous storm damage from routine cleanup, then inspect lawn and irrigation before planning repairs.
Look for hazards before entering the work area
Keep clear of downed lines, unstable trees and hanging limbs. Contact the appropriate utility or qualified tree professional where needed. A normal yard cleanup service is not a substitute for handling electrical or structural hazards. Document visible damage from a safe location.
Define the cleanup scope
Once the area is suitable for work, identify branches, litter and displaced landscape material. Discuss access, hauling and the handling of larger wood before service. Avoid dragging heavy debris across wet turf or using equipment that creates deep ruts. Prioritize access and drainage before cosmetic finishing.
Inspect what the debris was hiding
Check lawn damage, exposed soil, irrigation heads and displaced fixtures. Record broken components by location. Do not assume the system is sound because the controller still operates. If a tree or large object struck the ground, assess the affected area before watering or mowing resumes.
Plan recovery in the right order
Address remaining hazards and repairs first, then prepare damaged turf for an appropriate establishment method. Preserve photographs for any relevant claim or contractor discussion without making assumptions about coverage. Reassess tree condition and drainage after the initial cleanup. A fixed recovery timeline cannot account for the extent of damage and seasonal conditions.
