My whole yard is covered in branches after the storm — What It Means and What To Do

Branches, split limbs, twigs and matted leaves strewn across the lawn, fence and beds, possibly a snapped top somewhere in the mix. The important observation is not on the ground: look up into the canopies the debris came out of, and trace any wire crossing the property before anyone starts dragging.

Within weeks

A cleanup and disposal job rather than a tree-health event — with one caveat that matters. Debris on the ground means limbs left a canopy, so the real question the pile raises is what else is still hung up in those trees, and whether any of it is lying across a service drop hidden in the brush.

What it usually costs

Normally a storm damage cleanup job: $400 to $4,000 around Indianapolis, depending on size and access. A range, not a quote.
