Junk Removal in Lake Wales, FL

Lake Wales sits on the Ridge, a line of ancient sand dunes that were islands when the sea was higher, which is why the land here rolls and grows citrus. Railroad men and growers founded the town in 1911. Bok Tower Gardens, a 250-acre garden and bird sanctuary on Iron Mountain just north of town, has been a National Historic Landmark and the area's signature since Edward Bok built its singing tower in the 1920s.

Spook Hill, where a parked car seems to roll uphill, is the other thing visitors know. Locals know the historic downtown, the 1920s homes near it, and the groves and acreage that surround everything. The housing mix is old: bungalows, mid-century blocks, mobile homes on grove land, a few newer subdivisions on the edges.

What the work looks like in Lake Wales

Estate cleanouts are deep in a town this old. Multi-generation houses come with a packing shed, a barn and fifty years of accumulation. Rob's crew clears the house and the outbuildings in one visit, sets aside what can be donated, and hauls the rest in a trailer or two.

Grove land changes hands, and the new owner wants a house pad. That's the Kubota skid steer with the grapple: dead citrus, brush, fence lines and root balls, cleared and hauled. Storm cleanup on acreage is the same job in a hurry. Old grove chemicals go to the county's drop-off in Winter Haven, not on the trailer.
