A storm knocked a tree across my Claymont property line — who cleans up which part?

The section on your property is your responsibility; the section on the neighbor's property is theirs. If you both want cleanup handled by the same crew, we coordinate the split billing. If you want only your section cleaned up, we'll remove debris to your property line. We're used to exactly this situation in Claymont.

How do you remove debris from a narrow Claymont side yard?

Narrow side yards are handled with hand tools and wheelbarrows rather than chippers and equipment. We cut debris into manageable pieces, carry it out through the available access, and chip or haul from the front of the property. It's slower than open-lot cleanup but the same thorough result.

My storm-downed tree is touching my Claymont neighbor's service line — what first?

If the service drop (the line from the utility pole to your or your neighbor's meter) is contacted, call Pepco/Delmarva Power before any other action. Utility lines take priority over tree cleanup. Once the utility confirms the situation is safe, we proceed.

How quickly can you reach Claymont for storm cleanup?

How It Works

Storm Damage Cleanup Process in Claymont

Damage Assessment

We walk your property after the storm to document what came down, what's still hanging, and what trees look intact but may have hidden structural damage — root lifting, trunk cracks, or canopy imbalance that wasn't visible before.
Priority Removal

Hazardous material comes out first: hanging limbs overhead, debris on structures, and anything blocking access. We work systematically from highest-risk areas outward.
Full Site Cleanup

All storm debris is chipped or cut and loaded out. We rake the area, blow off hard surfaces, and inspect the remaining tree canopy for secondary damage that should be addressed before the next storm.
Documentation

We provide written documentation of all damage observed and work completed, including photos. This report can be submitted with your homeowner insurance claim to support coverage of removal costs.

Local Tip for Claymont Homeowners

Claymont properties that share fence lines with neighboring lots should inspect those fence lines after every major storm — damage to shared fences from fallen limbs is a common source of neighbor disputes, and documenting what your tree or your neighbor's tree caused before cleanup makes insurance and cost-sharing conversations much clearer.

What Claymont Customers Say

"Excellent job cutting what was hanging on my property and over my house. This was a neighbor's tree on the property line, with wires going to both houses — a very difficult job. Spectacular work and wonderful clean up. I am very pleased!"
