When it comes to hurricane prep, most people think about windows, roofs, and generators—but what about your yard? Loose items, overgrown trees, and unsecured landscaping features can become dangerous projectiles during a storm.
That’s why Rayneau is reminding homeowners and contractors alike: a clean and storm-ready yard is just as important as a secured roof.
Let’s walk you through the essential landscaping tools and equipment available at Rayneau Rentals & Sales and Rayneau Hardware to help get your outdoors storm-safe and secure.
Top Yard Hazards to Tackle Before the Storm
- 🌳 Overhanging branches
- 🪑 Outdoor furniture
- 🌿 Untrimmed hedges
- 🧱 Loose pavers or bricks
- 🍂 Clogged drains and gutters
- 🌾 Plastic garden décor and planters
These items might look harmless now, but in hurricane-force winds, they can cause serious damage to homes, vehicles—or worse, people.
Tools & Rentals to Storm-Proof Your Yard
✅ Chainsaws & Pole Pruners
Cut down risky limbs and clean up overgrown trees quickly.
✅ Hedge Trimmers
Trim hedges and bushes to prevent wind entanglement and improve visibility.
✅ Pressure Washers
Clear drains, patios, driveways, and sidewalks of buildup and debris.
✅ Garden Rakes & Leaf Blowers
Remove loose leaves and twigs that can clog storm drains.
✅ Wheelbarrows & Yard Carts
Move heavy items or bagged debris with ease.
✅ Tarps & Tie-Down Kits
Cover outdoor equipment or secure small structures like sheds and chicken coops.
✅Storage Bins & Containers
Store smaller yard tools, toys, or cushions in weatherproof bins.
Bonus Tip: Check Drainage Flow
Use a hose to test how rainwater flows away from your home. If water pools near foundations or doorways, fix it before the storm does damage.
