Retaining walls and pool decks on Frostproof's sloped lots
Frostproof is built on a strip of high ground between two lakes, so yards drop toward the water, and a lot of them have a block or timber retaining wall holding the slope. Fifty years of rain behind it and the wall leans. Rob's crew takes it down from the top, breaks the footer with the track loader, and stacks the block for a partner dump truck; block and concrete never ride in the dump trailers. Timber walls ride the trailer. Behind the lakefront homes on Reedy Lake and Lake Clinch, it's a pool deck that's spalled past patching, a pergola with rotted posts, or a wood deck stepping down toward the water. The pergola and deck come off by hand; the pool deck gets the breaker.
Sand makes the pulling easy. Posts and footings lift out clean with the grapple, and the ground rakes flat behind them.
Grove fence and pump slabs south of Lake Wales
When a block of citrus comes out for a house or a pasture, the fence that ran along it and the slab under the irrigation pump go too. Rob clears both with the dead trees on one trip: the grapple pulls the posts and root balls, the trailer takes wood and wire, and the pump slab is broken and hauled by dump truck to a recycler. One flat quote for all of it, quoted from photos or a walk of the block.
Frostproof is 51 minutes straight down US-27, so Rob groups it with Lake Wales and Fort Meade, a day or two out, and gives you the date on the phone rather than a maybe. He brings the loader and the trailer together. Payment is when the last piece is loaded. Old grove sprays and fuel from a pump house go to the county facility in Winter Haven, not the load. Permit questions go to the City of Frostproof or Polk County building department; when a job needs one, Rob works with a general contractor.

Questions
Demolition & Removal in Frostproof
Can you take down a retaining wall on a sloped lot in Frostproof?
Yes, if it's a yard wall and not part of a building. The crew works from the top down, the loader breaks the footer, and the block goes out by partner dump truck. Rob quotes it from a photo and the length. Timber walls are simpler and ride the trailer.
Do you clear the fence and pump slab along with the grove?
Yes, on the same trip. The grapple pulls the posts and the trees, the trailer takes the wood and wire, and the slab goes out by dump truck. One quote covers the whole block.
When can you get to Frostproof for demolition?
A day or two out. Frostproof is about 51 minutes from Davenport, so Rob books it with Lake Wales and Fort Meade and brings the loader with the trailer. He tells you the date when you call.
Ready for it to be gone from Frostproof?
Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
