Clearing and Grading for a House Pad |
|||
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Carefully peeling off the organic material. |
Then a layer of good sand graded to perfection and you are on your way to a new house. |
|
 |
 |
||
|
Sometimes there are large roots which get in the way and have to be removed. It would be a very difficult job if we didn't have the right equipment. |
No job is complete until the site is properly cleaned up. |

|
This lakeside home was to receive a complete makeover. |
This is the front of the house and yard. |
There was some brush removal required. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
The brush is cleared away from the trees. |
Fill is brought in to create a smooth slope to the yard. |
A large tree is removed from the front. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
With the tree gone and the grading finished, the house looks great! |
The grading in the back creates a nice gentle sloping yard for the family to enjoy. |
To assist with drainage, underdrain is often used. It diverts the water from the downspouts to a location away from the house. | |
|
storm debris cleanup |
|||
 |
 |
 |
|
|
The property was wooded and had quite a bit of storm debris. Large amounts of dried debris can increase the risk of forest fire. |
The debris was gathered and piled for burning. |
This left the area looking natural. The small clumps of vegetation are good for wildlife and the fuel has been removed to help prevent fire. There has been minimal disturbance of the soil which will allow the native vegetation to regrow. |
|
 |
|||
|
The resulting debris piles are burned when the conditions are right for a safe burn. Proper equipment is present during burning to ensure safety. |

Tree Removal |
|||
 |
 |
 |
|
|
We were asked to remove this large tree from the side yard. This photo was taken after we had already trimmed many the branches. |
With a well placed chain saw cut.....
|
It begins falling exactly where it needed to go. |
|
 |
 |
||
|
Once on the ground, It's a matter of cutting it into pieces to be hauled off. Boy that tree was tall. |
After cleaning up and making the area smooth, it is ready to be used. |
||
|
Tree Relocation |
|||
 |
 |
||
| Some full sized palm trees that are ready to be moved to a new location. | Using the tree spade on the loader, the tree is carefully moved to the new location. | ||
 |
 |
 |
|
|
This palm tree was to be moved to a new location at the owners new home site. |
At the new site, a hole is dug to accept the Palm.
|
The tree is placed in the hole and carefully positioned. |
|
 |
 |
||
|
Dirt is filled in around the tree and it is watered. |
The Palm is now ready to stand proudly in front of the new home. |
||
|
Demolition |
|||
 |
 |
 |
|
| This small house needed to be partially removed, and we had the equipment and expertise to do it. | The small track-hoe and experienced operators made quick and safe work of the demolition. | All of the debris is cleaned up and made ready to be hauled away. | |
|
Tree Planting |
|||
 |
 |
 |
|
| Digging the hole to accept the new tree. | With the proper equipment even a large tree can be safely placed into the hole. | The tree is placed into the correct position. It is now ready to be back-filled , watered and given tender loving care. | |
