Storm Cleanup Services in Columbia, MO
Central Missouri weather can be severe — thunderstorms, ice storms, tornadoes, and high winds. Tree Wizard has responded to storm situations across Columbia and surrounding communities for over 20 years.
Fallen Tree Removal
Whole trees down across yards, driveways, or structures. We cut, section, and remove the tree while protecting what's underneath. Crane assist available for complex situations.
Broken Limb Cleanup
Storm-broken limbs need proper removal — not just cutting at a random point. We trim back to healthy wood to promote healing and minimize future breakage from the same location.
Debris Removal & Hauling
After major storms, yards can be covered in branches, bark, and woody debris. We haul everything away and leave the property clean.
Hazardous Tree Evaluation
A tree that looks intact after a storm may have hidden structural damage — split crotches, root displacement, or compromised bark. Our certified arborist evaluates remaining trees for storm-related risk.
What We Bring to a Storm Job
Storm cleanup often requires more than a chainsaw. Depending on the scope, we bring bucket trucks, cranes, chippers, and ground crews to handle the full range of what a storm leaves behind.
- Crane-assisted removal for trees on structures or in tight areas
- Bucket truck access for large canopy work and limb removal
- Chippers for rapid debris processing on-site
- Multiple crew members for large-scale storm jobs
- Documentation and photo evidence for insurance
- Temporary tarp or cover assistance if structure is exposed

Frequently Asked Questions
- After a major storm we triage in waves: active hazards first (trees on houses, blocked driveways), then non-emergency cleanup as crews free up. Most non-emergency cleanup gets scheduled within several days of the call. For active hazards, call (573) 442-1838 and describe the situation.
- If a tree fell on a covered structure, cleanup is often covered. If a tree fell in your yard without hitting anything, coverage varies by policy. We document our work thoroughly — photos, invoice, and description of damage — to support your claim review.
- Cleanup includes removing fallen trees and limbs, clearing debris from your property, and hauling away material. We can also evaluate remaining trees for storm damage and document everything for insurance purposes.
- City and county debris pickup after major storms is for material left at the curb — they don't cut trees off your house, clear driveways, or take down hazardous standing trees. For anything still attached, leaning, blocking access, or on a structure, you need a tree service. We can also haul debris if curbside pickup isn't available in your area.
- Yes. We photograph the damage on arrival, document work progress, and provide a detailed invoice. We've helped many Columbia-area homeowners navigate the claim process after storms.
- Yes. We're equipped for large properties, multiple fallen trees, and post-storm commercial site cleanup. Our crew and equipment scale to the job. Give us a call to discuss your situation.
