Preparing Your Landscape for Hurricane Season

Florida's hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, and the best storm preparation happens weeks or months before a storm is ever named.

Canopy thinning is one of the most effective preventive measures. Removing dead wood and thinning dense canopy reduces wind resistance, lowering the risk of broken limbs and uprooted trees during high winds.

Loose landscape material — mulch, decorative rock, and unsecured planters — can become projectiles in high wind. Consider switching to heavier mulch types or securing beds ahead of storm season.

Drainage matters too. Clogged swales and poorly graded beds lead to standing water and turf damage long after a storm passes. A pre-season irrigation and drainage check can catch these issues early.

If a storm does cause damage, our storm cleanup crews prioritize existing clients for rapid debris removal and property recovery.
