Louisiana storms do not ask permission. After a hurricane, tropical storm, or a hard summer thunderstorm, trees end up across driveways, on roofs, and tangled in fences. Bayou Boyz helps property owners clear the damage and get back to normal.
What we clear after a storm
- Uprooted and snapped trees on homes, garages, sheds, and fences
- Trees blocking driveways and private roads
- Broken limbs hanging in the canopy (often called “hangers”)
- Split trunks and trees left leaning after high winds
- Branch and debris piles across yards and commercial lots
Safety first, then cleanup
Storm-damaged trees are under tension in ways that are hard to see. A trunk pinned under its own weight can spring when cut, and a broken limb overhead can drop without warning. The first job is making the site safe — stabilizing or removing anything still hanging — and only then clearing what is on the ground.
If a downed tree is touching a power line, stay away from it and call your electric utility first. Lines can stay energized even when the power is out.
Help with the paperwork side
If you plan to file an insurance claim, take photos of the damage before anything is moved, from several angles, and keep a copy of your estimate and invoice. We can document the work we perform. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance company, so check your policy and talk with your agent or adjuster.
Before the next storm
The best storm cleanup is the one you never need. Trimming deadwood and removing weakened trees before hurricane season can reduce how much comes down in the next one. Ask about a pre-storm look at the trees closest to your house.

Request an Estimate for Storm Damage CleanupFrequently asked questions
A tree fell on my house. What should I do first?
Get everyone out of the affected part of the house, stay clear of any downed power lines, and call your utility if lines are involved. Photograph the damage for your insurance company, then request an estimate with photos so we can plan the removal.
Will my insurance pay for tree removal?
It depends on your policy and on what the tree damaged. Your insurance company makes that decision. We can provide a written estimate and documentation of the work to support your claim.
Do you clean up debris or just cut the tree?
Cleanup is part of the job. Your estimate will spell out whether branches are chipped, hauled off, or left at the curb for parish storm-debris pickup when that program is running.
