Storm cleanup in Pensacola means pines. They grow tall and shallow-rooted in sand, and when a Gulf storm comes ashore they snap mid-trunk or go over root ball and all. One good blow puts trees across drives, fences and roofs from East Hill to Beulah. The debris is more than a chainsaw and a trailer can move. Clearview Contracting Solutions brings machines to the mess: skid steers with root grapples, a forestry mulcher and a mini excavator. We work Pensacola and Escambia County from our base in Jay.
The first pass opens access. Trees come off the driveway and away from the gate so you can get in and out. Then trees come off fences, sheds and outbuildings. Then the rest of the property: downed timber, hangers we can reach from the ground, root-ball craters, and the carpet of tops and limbs. The full method is on our storm cleanup service page. After a storm, call (850) 910-2447 early. The list fills in order.

Pensacola has the record to prove the risk. Hurricane Ivan came ashore just west of here in September 2004 as a Category 3 with 130 mph winds, and Escambia took the worst of it. Hurricane Sally sat over the county in September 2020. By late November, Escambia had hauled more than 3.6 million cubic yards of debris off the right of way. Older residents still measure storms against Opal, which crossed Pensacola Beach in October 1995.
Every one of those left the same yard. Pines snapped or uprooted, oaks with limbs the size of trees dropped into the street, and a leaner hung up in the canopy over somebody's roof. A downed pine weighs more than homeowner equipment should touch. A leaner under load does unpredictable things. Dragging trunks out behind a truck tears the yard up worse than the storm did. Grapple equipment exists for exactly this: lift, move, process, gone.
After a big storm, Escambia County, the City of Pensacola and the Town of Century each decide whether the event gets special debris collection. When it runs, the rules are consistent. Vegetative debris goes loose and unbagged on the public right of way. It stays separated from fence lumber, building debris and appliances, and clear of hydrants, meters and low lines. Crews make several passes over weeks. After Sally the county split into three zones with a 90-day target. It also opened drop-off sites at places like Brent Athletic Park and the Equestrian Center on Mobile Highway.
We work with that system instead of against it. Trunks get cut to whatever length the county publishes for the event and stacked at the road where the trucks can reach them. Or, if you would rather not wait on a truck, tops and brush get mulched where they lie. The property is finished the same day. Treated fence boards and building debris stay in their own pile so the vegetative load does not get refused.
We take storm calls across the Pensacola ZIP codes 32501, 32503, 32504, 32505, 32506, 32507, 32514 and 32526. That covers East Hill and North Hill under the big oaks, Ferry Pass, Ensley and Brent, Warrington and Myrtle Grove, and the wooded parcels out toward Bellview and Beulah. City lots with tight gates and county acreage with a quarter mile of downed pine both fit the equipment.
Once the trees are gone, the property usually needs the next thing. A flattened fence comes back on a cleared and rebuilt fence line. Torn ground and root-ball craters get filled when we regrade the torn ground. Stumps left standing get handled on the Pensacola stump grinding page. And thinning the weak understory before next season, the work on mulching Pensacola lots, makes the next storm smaller. The everyday side of our work here is on the Pensacola land clearing page.
