Storm cleanup in Pace, FL starts with the downed trees a hurricane leaves across drives, gates, fences and sheds. Hurricane Isaias came ashore near Destin in October 2026 as a Category 2 with 105 mph sustained winds. Santa Rosa County officials said the county took the hardest wind hit of any community from the storm. Clearview Contracting Solutions brings skid steers with root grapples and forestry mulcher heads to that kind of mess.
Access comes first, so trees come off the drive and the gate on the first visit. Then the grapple lifts trees off fences and sheds, and the mulcher grinds the tops and limbs where they fell. Trees still standing stay as they are, since our storm work covers what the wind put on the ground. We run storm cleanup from our base in Santa Rosa County, and the Northwest Florida storm cleanup page lays out the method.

Gusts reached 116 mph in parts of Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, and trees came down across the region. Santa Rosa County estimated 1.7 million cubic yards of vegetative debris, about 1.3 million of it north of I-10. County crews made heavy pushes in Pace in the days after landfall to make roads passable. The county administrator cautioned that passable does not mean cleared, and the same holds true for a yard.
Hurricane Ivan, in September 2004, heavily damaged the U.S. Highway 90 causeway across the northern part of Pensacola Bay. The National Hurricane Center called Ivan the most destructive hurricane to affect this area in more than 100 years. In September 2020, Hurricane Sally damaged thousands of structures across Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. The center's Sally report logs 15.07 inches of rain at Pace and notes widespread downed trees and power lines.
Debris you clear yourself goes along the public right of way, loose and unbagged, for the county's collection passes. Keep limbs and brush in one pile and damaged building materials like fencing and sheds in another. The county asks that piles stay clear of storm drains, mailboxes, water meters, fire hydrants and power lines. Special collection may run only for a limited time, and after that the debris is your responsibility.
Hire a contractor for fallen trees, and the county makes that contractor responsible for hauling away all the debris. Debris from contractor work should not be placed on the right of way for county pickup. The mulcher is our answer: it grinds tops, limbs and brush in place, and the mulch stays on your ground. Cost and insurance questions after a storm get their own answers in our storm debris cleanup guide.
We take storm calls across Pace, ZIP code 32571, the same ground our year-round work in Pace covers. That takes in Pea Ridge, Wallace, Floridatown, Chumuckla and the homes and lots along the Highway 90 corridor. Subdivision lots behind standard gates and wooded acreage with a line of downed pines both fit the equipment. Stand-on loaders and mini excavators reach the backyard corners where a pine came down across a shed or a fence.
A pine that lands on a fence leaves a run of bent wire and broken posts. With the pine lifted off, you can see whether the run needs repair or has to come out. An uprooted pine leaves a crater, and grading and dirt work closes it up and sets the ground to drain.
