Hurricane season on the Space Coast runs June 1 through November 30 with its peak around September 10, and even the storms that miss still send their outer bands across Brevard — tropical systems alone drop about five inches of rain on Melbourne in an average year, roughly a tenth of the annual total. When a storm does connect, the aftermath is measured in downed pines, split oaks, snapped palms, and yards buried under vegetation that was canopy the day before.

Storm debris cleanup is land clearing at emergency pace. Machines that spend normal weeks mulching palmetto go to work opening driveways, pulling downed trees off fences and outbuildings, cutting up trunks too big to move whole, and staging debris for grinding or haul-off. Leaning and half-fallen trees — the widow-makers a storm leaves hanging — come down under control before gravity picks its own moment.

Florida's burn rules actually bend for storms, and it's worth knowing how. Normally, land-clearing debris may only be burned on the property where it was generated, with Florida Forest Service authorization and hard setbacks. Storm-generated debris is the named exception: FDACS allows it to be transported and burned at authorized offsite locations. Even so, most residential storm cleanup ends in grinding and hauling — faster, and no authorization paperwork between you and a clean yard.

There's a pre-season version of this service, too, and it's the smarter buy. Clearing dead and leaning trees, thinning overloaded canopies, and mulching heavy brush before June turns a property from a debris generator into one that rides a storm out — every limb removed in May is one that isn't in your living room in September.
