Storm Damage Garden Rubbish Removal

The Situation

A homeowner in Moreton Bay woke up the next morning after a severe tropical storm, but he was completely shocked when he found that his garden was completely wrecked during the typhoon. The well-kept garden now was fully covered in fallen branches, uprooted shrubs, broken trees across the lawn, damaged furniture and machinery, and a fence panel that the wind had pulled and thrown into the garden.

The storm had moved quickly but left behind a complete mess. The homeowner spent a full day walking around the garden trying to remove the mess himself, but he was totally exhausted, heartbroken, and left in the middle. His wife advised him that this is not a job for a weekend with a wheelbarrow because the volume is too severe and fallen timber is too heavy to move alone; it needs professional help to make it easy and protective for both the garden and the family in the house.

A neighbour had used Junklift for a garden cleanup, so he recommended them. The owner wanted:
  • Same-day garden cleanup services safely
  • Careful clearance of all the heavy items
  • Broken fence and damaged beds cleared
  • A safe garden for kids to use again
  • Composted the green waste rather than sent to the landfill

The Assessment

When the owner heard about Junklift garden cleanup services near me, he immediately contacted us with shared photos of the garden. The photos helped us a lot, and we packed heavy machinery and tools according to the situation, because a storm-damaged garden needs a little more attention at the assessment stage, rather than a regular garden cleanup.

We went to the site and started our inspection, but it was too difficult to approach all the areas of the backyard because the mess had blocked the outer doorways. The biggest item we found in the garden was a fallen frangipani tree because the trunk was so big that it needed to be cut into pieces before loading, and the root ball was so heavy that two people were needed to lift it.

Our team also noticed broken fence panels. Some of the wooden posts had been broken in the middle rather than pulled out, leaving sharp pieces stuck in the garden. These hazardous things need to be removed carefully to create a safe area. After full inspection, the team gave the homeowner a fixed price and ensured that we would provide garden cleanup services without any further harm or damage.

The Solution

We first took action in the fence area, pulled all the broken post pillars from the ground, and cleared timber that was lying across the garden beds. Clearance of this section made it easier to work in the rest of the yard.

The next target was the frangipani. We cut the trunk into manageable sections and load them safely onto the truck. Then, properly dig out the root ball that was a complete hazard for the children. Then our team filled the complete hole left behind after digging the root ball.

After that, our garden cleanup near me team worked across the rest of the yard, collected all the fallen branches, gathered the tangled vines section by section, and cleared all the general garden debris. Everything was loaded carefully. Green waste was kept separate from the fence timber and sent for composting in a reliable facility. And the timber and other items were safely sent to an approved disposal premises. By late afternoon, the yard was completely safe and cleared for kids.

The Result

  • 100% garden cleanup
  • Fallen tree cut, removed, and root ball fully extracted
  • Broken fence posts were safely pulled from the ground
  • All green waste is sent to composting, not the landfill
  • Yard safe for the family, the same evening
  • Full job done within 48 hours of the storm

Responsible Disposal

Branches, tree sections, roots, and broken leaves were taken to the approved composting facility.
Fence timber was separated and taken to the timber recycling and disposal facility.
Root ball, soil and organic material redirected to a soil recycling centre
Broken pots and general storm debris are disposed of at a certified transfer station
