Short answer
Storm damage cleanup in Little Rock starts with hazards: hanging limbs, trees resting on structures, and anything tangled near lines comes down first, then the brush is chipped and hauled. Published 2026 local figures put tree removal anywhere from about $270 to $1,210, averaging near $740, which is why storm jobs are priced after a look.

Broken branches caught above the ground can drop without warning.
Tree resting on a roof
Weight shifts as wind blows or the structure sags.
New lean with lifted soil
The root plate has moved and the tree may keep going.
Split trunk or union
A crack running through the trunk or where two stems meet.

Wood under tension can spring violently when cut.
What storm cleanup covers
Storm work mixes three jobs: removing whatever is dangerous, taking down trees too damaged to keep, and clearing the debris. The order matters. Broken limbs caught in the canopy, called hangers, can fall at any time and come down before anyone works below them.
Trees that survived with some damage often deserve a second look once the urgent work is done, because many recover with the right pruning.
Hanging broken limbs
A limb snapped but still caught in the crown is one of the most dangerous things in a yard after a storm. It can slip loose from wind, from someone pulling on it, or from nothing at all. We rope it before cutting so it comes down where we choose, and we keep people and pets out from under it until it is on the ground. Hangers over roofs, driveways and play areas are the first things we deal with on any storm call.
Uprooted trees
A tree tipped over with its root plate lifted is under tension along the trunk. Cut in the wrong place and the trunk can spring or the root plate can drop back into the hole with the stump attached. We cut the top free first, relieve the trunk in sections, and handle the root plate last. Uprooted pines leave a big hole and a mound of soil; we can fill and level it or leave it for your landscaper, and we check whether the neighboring trees lost roots in the same wind.
Local market guidance: $270 to $1,210, average about $740 (planning range from published 2026 figures, not our quote; every job is priced on site).
Debris hauling after a storm
Once the hazards are down, the chipper and the truck take over. Brush is chipped on site, logs and rounds are loaded, and the yard is raked. After big storms, the haul-off backlog across the city grows quickly, so we clear blocked driveways and anything on a structure before curbside piles. If you want firewood from a fallen oak, say so before the crew starts cutting; rounds are cut to stove length and stacked off the ground, and the rest leaves on the truck the same day.
Insurance documentation photos
Before anything is moved, we photograph the damage from the ground: where the tree fell, what it hit, and the condition of the trunk and roots. You get the photos for your insurer. Whether a claim is covered is your insurer's decision, not ours, but clear photos taken before cleanup make that conversation easier. If a tree is resting on the house, we also note what it is touching so a roofer or contractor knows where to look once the weight is off.
How this job runs around Little Rock
Central Arkansas storms tend to arrive with straight-line winds, not only tornadoes. On May 21, 2024, supercells tracked along the Arkansas River west of Little Rock and dropped a tree onto a house in Greenbrier. Afterward, the question is which damaged trees to keep. University of Arkansas extension guidance helps: most mature hardwoods that lose 25 to 75 percent of the crown survive with slower growth, while trees past 75 percent usually do not. That is how we sort save from remove.
Honest comparison
Clearing it yourself vs calling a crew
| Part of the job | On your own | With our crew |
|---|---|---|
| Small limbs on the lawn | Fine to pick up and stack | Chipped with the rest |
| Hangers in the canopy | Unpredictable, leave them alone | Roped and lowered |
| Trees under tension | Chainsaw kickback and spring-back injuries | Sectioned to release tension safely |
| Anything near wires | Contact risk | Entergy first, then us |
| Trees on the house | Can shift and cause more damage | Rigged off the structure |
| Insurance photos | Easy to forget before cleanup | Taken before anything moves |
What moves the price

Bent and uprooted trunks need careful sectioning.
Hazards near lines
Utility lines must be cleared by Entergy first.
Volume of debris
A few limbs versus a whole tree across the yard.
Access
Blocked drives and fallen fences slow equipment in.
Root plate and hole
Filling and leveling after an uprooted tree.
Straight answers
Questions we get about this
Either works. We photograph the damage before cleanup.
Not until Entergy makes the line safe. Stay away and report it to them.
Often. Mature hardwoods that lose less than three quarters of the crown usually recover with good pruning.
Trees on structures and blocked drives come first; you get a straight arrival window.
Yes. Who pays is between the owners and their insurers.
We can fill and level it, or leave it for your landscaper.
Yes, and the yard is raked when we leave.
