Pergolas, walks and pool decks from the historic district to Walden Lake
The 185 historic homes north of downtown have yards that were laid out a century ago: a concrete or brick walk to the street, a pergola or an arbor somebody built in the 1950s, a wood fence between deep lots. The walk has heaved, the pergola posts have rotted, and the fence is leaning. Rob's crew lifts the walk with the track loader, drops the pergola by hand, and pulls the fence posts with their footings. Whole brick gets stacked if you ask; broken brick and concrete go to a partner dump truck and a recycler, because neither rides in the dump trailers.
Walden Lake is the other end of the age range. The 1980s and 1990s homes around the golf course have pool decks that have spalled, screen cages with corroded bases, and privacy fence between lots that a storm has pushed over. The cage and fence ride the trailer; the deck gets the breaker and the dump truck.
Farm fence and pads on the acreage around Plant City
Off the grid in every direction it's strawberry and vegetable ground, and a field edge that's being opened or a lot that's being cleared for a house comes with fence, a pump pad, an irrigation stand and sometimes a slab where a cooler sat. The Kubota track loader pulls the posts and breaks the pads, the trailer takes wood and wire, and the concrete goes by dump truck. Farm lanes are fine for a trailer behind a pickup.
Plant City is 54 minutes west on I-4, exits at Park Road and SR-566, so Rob books it a day or two out with Lakeland or another Hillsborough stop and brings the loader on the same trip. A pergola plus a fence plus a pad makes the drive worth it and gets one flat quote. Payment is when the crew is done. This is Hillsborough County, which runs its own hazardous-waste program, so ask Rob where paint and chemicals from the job go. Permit questions go to the City of Plant City or Hillsborough County building department; when a job needs one, Rob works with a general contractor.

Questions
Demolition & Removal in Plant City
Can you take out a pool deck and screen cage in Walden Lake?
Yes, both in one job. The cage comes down in panels and rides the trailer. The deck is broken with the loader and hauled by partner dump truck, quoted as its own line. The pool shell stays unless a pool contractor is taking it.
Do you pull farm fence and break pump pads outside Plant City?
Yes. The track loader pulls the posts and breaks the pad, the trailer takes wood and wire, and the concrete goes by dump truck. If brush is coming off the same field edge, Rob quotes it all as one job.
How far ahead do I book demolition in Plant City?
A day or two. Plant City is about 54 minutes from Davenport, so Rob books it with Lakeland or another Hillsborough stop and brings the loader on the same trip. He sets the date when you call.
Ready for it to be gone from Plant City?
Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
