Storm Cleanup in Monette, AR

Storm Cleanup · Monette, AR

Downed trees and storm debris cleared off the ground

Storm cleanup starts with what is on the ground. A tornado or straight-line winds leave trees down across the drive and limbs piled through the yard. We cut that material into pieces, grab it with the grapple and load it on the dump trailer. The drive and the lot open back up.

We are based in Monette and work about 50 miles around Jonesboro. Storm work runs like the rest of our land clearing jobs. You call, we look at what is down, and the free estimate comes in writing before the work starts.

What storm debris removal covers

Downed trees get cut into pieces the grapple can handle. Limbs, brush piles and debris scattered across a yard or a field get picked up the same way. Everything that has to leave the property goes out on the dump trailer.

Standing trees are a different job. A tree leaning on a house or hung in another tree needs a tree service with a climber. Roof and structure work goes to a builder or a roofer. We start once the material is on the ground.

A storm and the cleanup after it both tear up the ground. Ruts, gouges and soft spots are common once the debris is gone. From there we can come back to grading the ground back smooth with the skid steer.

How often do storms hit Northeast Arkansas?

Often enough that most people here have a storm story. On March 28, 2020, an EF3 tornado tracked about 12 miles through Jonesboro. It damaged hundreds of buildings. On December 10, 2021, an EF4 started north of Bay in Craighead County and went through Monette and Leachville.

Straight-line winds and ice storms put wood on the ground too. Wind shears limbs across a whole neighborhood at once. Ice loads limbs until they split. That kind of damage covers a wide area instead of one narrow path.

The land here changes what the cleanup looks like. Wooded lots on Crowley's Ridge have big hardwoods over the houses, so a storm drops whole trees into yards. Out in the Delta the damage spreads along field edges, windbreaks, fence rows and ditch banks. We come over from Monette either way.

Where storm debris goes, and hurricane cleanup farther out

What has to leave goes out on the dump trailer. Brush small enough to grind runs through the drum mulcher and stays on the ground as mulch. That saves a trip for the small stuff and puts cover back on bare dirt.

After a big storm, some Arkansas cities and counties open a debris drop-off site or run a curbside pickup. Tree debris usually has to stay separate from building material. Burn bans are set by county judges here, and the Forestry Division posts which counties are under one. Burning that debris can also take a notice or a permit, so ask the county first.

Most of our storm work stays close to home, around Jonesboro and the towns of Northeast Arkansas. For major hurricane and storm cleanup we travel farther, including the Gulf Coast states. Call (870) 351-5107 and tell us what is down and where it is.

How We Work

How a Job With Craig Land Management Runs

From the first call to cleared ground, here is how it goes.

1

The call

Call (870) 351-5107 and tell us where the property is and what you want opened up. If we miss the call, we will get back to you.

2

We look at the property

We set a time to come out and look at the brush, the trees and the way in. Photos help, but seeing the ground is how the work gets priced right.

3

The written estimate

You get the work and the price in writing, so you can see what is included. Estimates are free, and nothing starts until you approve it.

4

The clearing work

The drum mulcher grinds brush, saplings and small trees. The brush cutter takes tall grass, weeds and briars. The grapple and the dump trailer move out what has to leave.

5

The finish

We leave the ground mulched, or rough graded if that is what the job called for, with the debris gone. Then we go over the finished property with you before we pull out.

FAQ

Storm Cleanup Questions, Answered

Common questions about storm cleanup across Northeast Arkansas, about 50 miles around Jonesboro. If yours is not here, call and ask.

Call (870) 351-5107

What storm damage do you clean up?
We work what is on the ground. Downed trees, broken limbs and brush piles get cut up, grappled and hauled off. That covers a yard, a drive, a field, a town lot or hunting land. Standing trees and anything touching a building are a tree service job.
Can you take a tree off my roof?
That one needs a tree service. A tree leaning on a house or hung in another tree needs a climber or a bucket truck. Once it is on the ground and clear of the building, we cut it up and haul it out.
What does storm cleanup cost?
It comes down to how much is down and how hard it is to reach. One tree across a driveway is a different job than ten acres littered with limbs. Soft ground and a long haul to the road slow the work down. Call (870) 351-5107 for a free estimate, and the number comes in writing.
Do you grind the stumps a storm leaves?
We do not offer stump grinding. A broken trunk can be cut down close to the ground and the top hauled off. A stump grinding contractor takes it from there. If the lot is grown up on top of the storm damage, forestry mulching is the job.
Do you clear storm debris out of a pasture or a fence row?
Yes. Limbs and whole trees come down along fence rows, ditch banks and field edges in a wind event. The grapple pulls that material out and the dump trailer takes it off. If the fence row was grown up before the storm, that is a bigger clearing job.
Can you open a blocked driveway back up?
That is usually the first thing people ask for. We cut the downed trees where they cross the drive and grapple the pieces onto the trailer. If the storm washed out the gravel, regraveling the drive can follow once the debris is gone.

Why Choose Craig Land Management

The mulcher, the cutter and the grapple

A skid steer runs all three. The drum mulcher takes brush and small trees. The brush cutter takes tall grass and briars. The grapple loads what has to leave the property.

Brush mulched in place

Brush and small trees are ground up where they stand and left as a mulch layer over the dirt. That covers the ground and saves hauling. What is too big for the mulcher goes out on the dump trailer.
